Wujiayi breathing, also known as victorious breathing or throat breathing, is a method of nasal breathing and nasal inhalation. It activates the throat constriction, closes some vocal cords, and allows the breath to rub against the back of the throat to produce a wave like sound, achieving respiratory control and improving focus, stimulating the entire respiratory system..
In flow yoga and ashtanga yoga practice, the ujjayi breathing method is often used to achieve the goal of using breathing to lead the posture. When inhaling, the chest expands outward, and when exhaling, the chest contracts inward. Combined with throat, abdominal, and root constrictions, it not only controls breathing, but also the posture and body..
