Welcome to this video where we will dive into the practice of Ujjayi breath. If you are new to this kind of breath, Go to my introduction video. If you are familiar with it, Let's dive right into practice. This is a great breath to calm and concentrate the mind. So let's begin in a comfortable position. It doesn't have to be on the ground. It could just be sitting on the edge of a chair. Or a couch where you have your chest open. Let's bring the hands down to either the knees or the thighs. We're going to do this practice with our eyes closed so that our attention can fully immerse on the wave sound of your breath. So let's close the eyes, Take a normal inhale. Exhale sigh it out the mouth and start with ujjayi breath breathing in and out through the nose closing a little bit the back of the throat and allowing the sound of the breath to really immerse your whole attention. Keep all of the body softening down towards the ground. Keep the breath full. And we will be here in this practice for two more minutes. Take one more deep inhale through the nose. Exhale out the mouth, Release the practice, Just observe and feel. Bring in a smile to your heart center. Smiling to this moment, To nature all around you. A gently opening tie.
