How to Practice Ujjayi Breath in Yoga - Breathing Exercise?

Ujjayi breath is like having a soft wind that helps you move and stay calm during yoga.

Imagine you're blowing out birthday candles, but instead of just puffing air, you make a gentle hiss sound, like a sleepy cat. That’s Ujjayi breath! It's a special way of breathing in yoga that makes your practice smoother and more fun.

1. Sit comfortably or stand tall, just like when you’re ready for a game.
2. Inhale slowly through your nose, as if you're sipping water from a tiny cup.
3. Now, exhale gently through your mouth, making that hiss sound, it's like a soft whisper of wind.

You can also do this while you move in yoga, like when you’re doing downward dog or flowing into a pose. The Ujjayi breath helps you keep going, even when things get tricky, just like how your favorite toy keeps you happy no matter what happens.

Try it now and feel the calm wind inside you!
