Ujjayi Breath

Ocean breath

The pattern

Inhale 5 · Exhale 5. Repeat for about 8 rounds.

Why it helps

A soft constriction at the back of the throat creates an audible, ocean-like sound that gives the mind something steady to follow.

How to do it

Inhale and exhale through the nose while slightly constricting the back of the throat, like fogging a mirror with your mouth closed.

Good for

• Sustaining focus during movement
• Meditation anchor
• Steady pacing
