Ujjayi breathing

thanks a lot Tashi, love the explanation! Namaste.

Thank you Tashi. Love the strength hammock for bandhas; great tips!

Thank you for this exploration Tashi. I always love your visualisations and analogies, they are so helpful and fresh. I absolutely love Ujjayi breathing and wanted to share something I learned from a wonderful Energy Medicine Practitioner named Prune Harris. She sees energy and she says that when we engage in Ujjayi breathing (dragon breath and she calls it) we are literally sucking up energy from the earth through our feet and bringing it up the kidney meridian (which starts at the feet) nourishing not only this pathway, but also our adrenals, our energetic core and our aura (among other things). There's also a visualisation she suggests we can do with this breath. On the in breath we visualise energy from the earth coming up through our feet up our energetic core and out through the head and on the exhale we visualise that energy falling down back to the earth like rain drops through the aura. It's a beautiful grounding visualisation and I wanted to leave it here in case anyone wants to try it. Prune Harris has a wonderful youtube channel with many more energy medicine exercises in case anyone wants to check it out. P.S: This comment is not sponsored. LOL.

Thank you Tashi! Very much enjoyed this session with the sound and the visualization so well explained.🙏🙏😍🌊

Marvellous. Thank you

Thank you Tashi for this very useful tutorial, I love your tips. 🙏

An excellent and enjoyable explanation. Easy to remember and can only get better with practice. Well done Tashi.

Thank you Tashi for a wonderfully clear explanation of this practice and the benefits.I particularly liked the image of an opening parachute. Could you clarify if the ujjayi breath can be separated from this full ujjayi practice, in the sense that it can also be helpful to use just the technique of the "whispering" breath? For example, when practicing the So Hum mantra meditation, where the focus is on a diaphragmatic breath, rather than on the more intense victorious breath. In this meditation the ujjayi sound is helpful when listening for the breath. Or does the very action on the glottis stimulate the breath you describe (open the parachute on inhale, strengthen the bandhas on exhale)?

Thank you Tashi. You are so wonderfully natural when you present this class - and this really helps me to follow and learn, just as though I am with you in the same space with you in real time!

Thank you Tashi, I loved the explanations and it helped me creating instant relief in my upper back.. I think I store lots of tension there... Namaste!

Thank you very much Tashi. I really enjoyed your class. I want to share that , I inhale and exhale until I make mool bandh I can't make next inhale properly. I need to make enough emptiness in me in order to inhale. Am I doing correct. Please guide. Namaste, Kiran

Such a pro at explaining..thank you! X

Superb, quite frankly :)

I have another question, can I practice this before a yoga asana practice?

This parachute visualisation helped a lot. How soon can we practice this after a light meal and a a lunch or dinner? As practicing this over few times a day with just say 5 or 10 breath. Also when we take up a pranayama practice ideally how many days a practission er practice roughly one single pranayama breathing technique.....? A rough guide line would really help.
