UJJAYI: VICTORIOUS BREATH
Ujjayi is generated by allowing the ow of breath to pass gently along
the glottis, located at the top of the windpipe, creating a soft but audible
sound. The sound should be consistent and even on both the inhales and
exhales. This sound vibration gives the mind something to sink its teeth
into.
Benefi ts

helps the attention to shift away from the external world of the senses
into the internal world of the mind and helps to transcend the force of
ignorance.
