Detox & Focus with Ujjayi Pranayama: Ocean Breath Yoga
🌊 The Breath of Victory: Detoxify, Focus, and Awaken Calm with Ujjayi Pranayama
Ever feel like your energy is scattered, your thoughts are racing, or your breath is shallow?
This week’s breathwork practice is your reset button.
In the latest video of Krista Shirley’s 10-Part Pranayama Series, you’ll learn the ancient and transformative art of Ujjayi Pranayama — the Victorious Breath, known for its soft ocean sound and deep healing power.
This isn’t just about breathing.
It’s about detoxifying the body, strengthening focus, and calming your nervous system — from the inside out.
🌬 What Is Ujjayi Pranayama?
Ujjayi (pronounced oo-jai) means “victorious” — and it truly earns its name.
This ancient yogic breathing technique involves gently constricting the throat while breathing through the nose, creating a soothing wave-like sound.
That sound — like the ocean — anchors your awareness, activates the vagus nerve, and triggers your body’s natural relaxation response.
It’s a cornerstone of yoga, meditation, and modern stress management — and it’s accessible to everyone.
🧘♀️ In This Guided Practice, You’ll Learn:
✅ Step-by-step Ujjayi Pranayama tutorial (perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike)
✅ How to use the 1:1:1 breath ratio to build strength and control (inhale, hold, exhale evenly)
✅ How Ujjayi stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system to release tension and anxiety
✅ Simple ways to integrate breath retention (kumbhaka) into your daily routine
✅ Why Ujjayi is used in Ashtanga Yoga to purify energy and deepen focus
You’ll finish the session feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply grounded.
