Learn Ujjayi Pranayama or Ocean Breath (for yoga and meditation)

Join YouAligned and YA Classes teacher Ashton August to learn Ujjayi Pranayama, also known as Ocean Breath or Darth Vader Breath.
Although it's one of the more common forms of pranayama (breathwork) practiced in yoga and meditation, it does have a bit of a learning curve. Ashton breaks down how to do it, including helpful beginner tips.

Thank you! Need to work on all the things breath!

[@youaligned]

My pleasure! What did you think of this Ujjayi?

[@DadaKevin]

As I get more comfortable with it I’m sure it’ll be a valuable tool! 🙏

[@youaligned]

@@DadaKevin it absolutely will! But like I said, there is a learning curve so take it slow and lmk if you have any questions! :)

Thank you, the 2 fingers on the neck trick really helped me finally “get it”.

[@youaligned]

oh good! I'm so glad that technique was helpful for you :) Thanks for sharing! Ashton from YouAligned

Thanks for this video!
But what if I feel tension in my throat after just couple of minutes of this practice? I’m sure that I’m doing it right but it’s really difficult to continue when your throat is so tensed

[@youaligned]

That is totally natural! No need to continue with it if you feel any discomfort. Over time, you may be able to practice the breath for longer as you get used to working those seldom-used muscles.

Hi, how many times do I do this and for how long?

[@youaligned]

It depends on when you use Ujjayi! You can use it throughout your physical yoga or meditation practice. Or you can do it for just 30 or 60 seconds and see how you feel :)
