Ujjayi Breath For Focused Attention

Ujjayi Pranayama, often called Ocean Breath, is a breathing practice that supports focus and steady awareness. By gently narrowing the back of the throat, the breath creates a soft, ocean-like sound that serves as a gentle anchor, drawing attention inward, and creating a calm and concentrated state of mind.

Safe and accessible, Ujjayi Breath can be practiced at any time of day—on its own as a foundation for meditation and mindful movement or combined with other pranayama techniques to generate meditative states of deep awareness.
