This practice impacts the entire body. Pr\u0101na courses through the channels of the body (called meridians or n\u0101dis) to keep us alive and animate our senses. The more pr\u0101na you have, the more vibrant, energized, stable, confident, happy, light, healthy and joyful you are. A privation in pr\u0101na (due to poor diet, imbalanced lifestyle, excessive activity or the lack of, stress, illness, and so on) will result in you being low, depressed, slow, tired, exhausted, unhappy, fearful, over-<br \/>\nsensitive, depleted, cloudy, and unmotivated.<br \/>\n<strong>Ujjayi Pranayama<\/strong> is one of the most common <strong>Pranayama<\/strong> techniques practiced in Yoga today. The name is derived from the Sanskrit words &#8220;Ujjayi&#8221; (meaning &#8220;Victorious&#8221;), Pr\u0101na (meaning &#8220;Life force&#8221;), and \u0101y\u0101ma (meaning &#8220;control&#8221; or &#8220;modulate&#8221;). The ocean wave-like sound emanating from practicing this technique is efficient in emerging victorious over various kinds of negativity: victory over stress, victory over fatigue, and victory over ego, to name a few.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to perform Ujjayi Pr\u0101n\u0101y\u0101ma<\/h3>\n<p>Begin by drawing a breath in through your nose. As you exhale, open your mouth and send air out as if you were fogging up a window, or whispering a drawn-out HA sound. Practice this a few times to get comfortable with the feeling and sound of this breath.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Then seal your lips so that both your inhale and exhale move through the nostrils. Continue to breathe as if fogging up a window with your lips closed.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 A variation: Breathe in and out through your nose. Gently constrict your throat so that it feels as if your breath is coming from your throat. An ocean wave-like sound will emerge.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Keep the flow of breath easy and smooth while making the inhale and exhale equal in duration.<\/p>\n<h3>Health Benefits of Ujjayi Pr\u0101n\u0101y\u0101ma<\/h3>\n<p>\uf0b7 Renders your voice clear and pleasant<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Helps to alleviate pulmonary diseases<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Removes phlegm in the throat<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Has the potential to keep Asthma in control<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Provides relief to people with respiratory disorders<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Encourages the muscles of the face, throat, and nose to relax<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Warms the throat, neck and whole body<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Tones the lungs<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Keeps life force circulating in the body<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Improves your digestion<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Can resolve insomnia, anxiety, and both physical and mental tension<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Increases relaxation, concentration and leaves you with a quiet mind<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Increases energy, vitality and stamina<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Increases oxygenation of cells<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Increases mental clarity and inward-turned awareness<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Increases pr\u0101na (life force) and thus, your joy, confidence, motivation, and your sense of your life&#8217;s purpose<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Speeds any and all healing processes<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Is more restful to the body and mind than a nap<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Balances the nervous system (parasympathetic and sympathetic)<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Stabilizes and strengthens the integrity of the immune system<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Benefits of Ujjayi Pranayama : Breathing routines in the Yogic convention are applied to manipulate the flow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[75,2,140,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-fitness","category-good-health-keep-yourself-fit-and-always-look-healthy","category-health-benefits-of-yoga","category-yoga-pose"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arogyayogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- This website is optimized by Airlift.
