Ujjay is most commonly understood to be practiced with exhalations thought both nostrils.
This makes it a very suitable pranayama for practicing during asanas (yoga postures), while walking or even jus lying down.
The name Ujjay implies “with sound”. Most importantly it means “to lead one to success”
How to execute it?
Sit in padmasana (lotus seating’s position) or any comfortable way.
Inhale from both nostrils gradually. Fill the air only from the heart chakra to the throat chakra. Perform kumbhaka (breath retention) up to your capacity.
Slightly close the glottis while performing exhalation.
Benefits:
Ujjay stimulates the throat area and the parasympathetic system. This is the area of the vishuddhi chakra, where our silents thought and intentions became vocalised.
Ujjay cultivates sweetness of the voice and calmness of the mind. We are more likely to say the right thing when we are calm, and we are more likely to succeed when we say the right thing.
Namaste.
