Ujjayi Breathing | Yoga with Adriene

Learn the Victorious Breath (Ujjayi Pranayama)! This is the first video in our Pranayama Series that focuses on breathing techniques and inspiration for a yoga practice that is focused and fueled by the breath. Ujjayi is a great tool for Hatha Yoga and is used to focus the mind and assist in the snychronicity of movement and breath. Connect to that ocean sound and practice Ujjayi. Let it grow and always ride the wave of the breath!

Coming here after completing multiple 30 day challenges of yours. I’ve been watching your videos since I was 14, am about to be 24. These last two years I have dedicated every morning to yoga, and you’ve guided me! Many thanks to you. Bitter sweet to watch strangers grow and age with me 🙏🏻

Exhale day 2🎉 loved this little breathing practice, I had my mum and dog join me today for this quick video. Thank you, Adriene, for this quick practice. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏

[Abby-wqyl]

today’s practice done on:
* 12/6/22: i remember when i first heard of this kind of breath and was like “what is this sorcery” now I notice myself breathing this way when I complete other yoga videos without even thinking too much about it. breathe day 6, day 2 🫁

[beguum]

Breathe day 6 - I love Ujjayi breath! I realized it helps me to connect with my breath so I practice it daily with my morning meditations. But it always feels nice to re-learn and back to beginner's mind😌 Thank you Adriene, namaste🙏💙💫

[gillsmith]

For Day 1 of CATCH A WAVE, THESE 2 videos are perfect reminders of their importance and usefulness. From first learning this breathing technique, I know how helpful this is, improving my concentration, I quickly grew to love it and I use it all the time ... awesome, a BIG thank you Adriene 🧘🏻‍♀️😊🧘🏼‍♀️🙏💞

[anurbanurb]

I wish a very good practice for everyone that is here for day 3 of Breath 💕

How our beautiful world works in mysterious ways... for months, since last November I started regular yoga and took on your 30 day revolution, your love and kindness is transforming my life. I did yoga because I couldn't run because I injured my foot so out of desperation and exercise knowledge I decided yoga. You were there everyday, you had my back. 30 days were enough for me to start walking again but there was something else I couldn't pin point. I continued. Three weeks ago I came to an internal conflict where I decided to look at the breath because that might be the reason I felt good. After watching ted talks and I'm studying counselling I realised that the only time my mind stopped was in yoga, especially when I was trying to breathe! So with my new experiences, my breathing... I am at the beginning of mindful breathing and this time on the mat is giving me moments of peace and clarity off the mat.. I am slowly beating anxiety, negativity, a ruminating brain!! I have been a PT for more than half my life and your technique is perfect, your heart, your crazy jokes are like mine. Your heart full of kindness and your unconditional love for everyone.. you came into my world when I needed you most. You will always be my angel with arms as wings.. a beautiful bird!! Humbly grateful from an admirer!! 😍😘🙏🏼 ps. I nearly forgot!!! I have been searching of the place I can leave a comment to you.. every time you ask us to comment I say out loud, I would if I knew where the button was (I'm great with people bad with technology) and tonight after practicing ujayi breath for several mins my mindfulness guided me to this section and now I have found my direct form of communication!! How Much I love the power of the universe!! Humbly grateful to have you in my home everyday... you have even got my 19 year old who used to laugh at yoga now watching you too and for the first time she's not doing it to look good but because you gift her peace and self!! From your admirer!! 😍😘🙏🏼

I teach yoga privately, but I also work in a prison. Let's just say my job can be stressful. Whenever I need it, I come back to this video and it is so grounding. I really am grateful for you! Thank you for posting this and please send me some positive vibes for my job and for the people that I try to help in the prison. Thank you immensely.
