Ujjayi Pranayama, often called the “Ocean Breath” due to its soft, wave-like sound, is one of the foundational breathing techniques in yoga. Widely used across many styles and traditions, this breath creates a steady, audible rhythm that supports both focus and flow.

The gentle constriction at the back of the throat produces the soothing sound of ocean waves, helping to anchor the mind and regulate the nervous system. Ujjayi has a profoundly balancing and calming effect on the body, encouraging a sense of steadiness and presence throughout your practice or daily life.
