In this video, you'll learn how to practice Ujjayi breath, often called ocean breath or victorious breath. It's a gentle, powerful breathing technique used in yoga and meditation that helps calm the nervous system, focus the mind, and bring you into the present moment. If you’ve ever heard that soft wave-like sound during pranayama, that’s Ujjayi — a breath that sounds like the ocean and feels just as soothing.

This video is perfect for beginners, with simple, step-by-step guidance to help you understand how to create the soft constriction in the back of the throat that gives Ujjayi its signature sound.

Ujjayi breath, when used as a pranayama, is cooling/soothing and is especially helpful for stress relief, mental clarity, or even helping you fall asleep.

Let’s breathe together — slowly, deeply, and with intention.
