Ujjayi Pranayama Steps and Benefits

Ujjayi Pranayam is so named because it aids in our control of Pran. It is impossible to overstate the significance of this Pranayama because it directly affects the olfactory canal, a crucial component of the brain.

When performing this Pranayama, the glottis is partially closed, which causes an odd and sweet sound, which stimulates this canal.

Ujjayi Pranayama Steps

Maintain a straight neck and spine when sitting in Padmasan.

Gently close eyes In the Gyan mudra position, place both hands on the knee.

Touch the palate with the tongue to turn it inward.

Exhaling, slightly tighten the pelvic region and press the neck.

Now begin breathing in through your nose as though you were making a pleasant snoring noise with your throat.

Exhale gently, steadily, and evenly while maintaining the same steady frictional melody in your throat.

In order to breathe properly, keep in mind that the throat should rise above the heart and vice versa.

Neither the rips nor the pelvic area should experience any effects from performing this pranayama.
