E43. Breathwork Minisode - Ujjayi or Victorious Breath
Hi Friends! Let's breathe together! Today I offer a practice of ujjayi breath. this is a common breath practice used in a yoga class, but it can be used any time and anywhere.
Ujjayi breath can sound like an ocean wave or like Darth Vader breathing through his mask. There are many benefits to this breath that include decreased stress and anxiety, deep relaxation, greater mental focus, greater lung function and improved sleep.
Give it a shot and see what you think! And be compassionate with yourself. There is a learning curve here. Do your best and let go of the rest. Come back and do this exercise again and again to build your skills.
Lastly, here is the link to the free mindfulness guide I mentioned.
