Ujjayi pranayam benefits: In today’s run -of -the -mill life, stress, anxiety, and irregular routine is affecting our body and mind. In such a situation, if we start our day with yoga and pranayama, then we can keep ourselves healthy and calm. In Pranayama, ‘Ujjai Pranayama’ is considered very beneficial. In Ujai Pranayama, ‘Ujjai’ means ‘victorious’ or ‘victory’. The word is made up of Sanskrit’s ‘Ud’ and ‘Ji’, where ‘Ud’ means rising up or to be free from bondage, and ‘Ji’ means to win. At the same time, ‘Pranayama’ means ‘controlled practice of breath’. This pranayama helps in increasing confidence and strength in us, hence it is also called ‘victorious breath’.
Why should we do bright pranayama
According to the Ministry of AYUSH, doing Ujjai Pranayama calms the brain. When you breathe slowly with a light sound from the throat, your attention automatically starts on breathing. This does not wander the mind and increases the strength to think and understand. At the same time, it also corrects digestion. If you have stomach problems like gas, indigestion, constipation, then Ujjai Pranayama can help you. When you breathe deeply, there is mild pressure on the stomach organs, which improves digestion and feels light.
Health Benefits of Ujjai Pranayama
Ujjai Pranayama is beneficial for heart health. While doing this pranayama, the breath speed slows down, which does not cause much pressure on the heart. It keeps the heartbeat normal and balances blood pressure. This practice is quite beneficial for people who have high BP or stress. But if you have a heart disease, then the ministry appeals to seek the advice of a doctor before doing this exercise.
At the same time, it is also beneficial for the throat and lungs. This pranayama cleans the mucus in the neck. Gradually, breathing and release strengthens the lungs and makes it easier to breathe. It helps in allergies, colds, colds and shortness of breath. In addition, Ujjai Pranayama reduces stress and brings good sleep, because practicing it calms down the mind and also removes fatigue, due to which sleep comes quickly at night and you feel refreshed in the morning.
This pranayama produces heat inside the body and increases energy. If you feel tired or laziness comes throughout the day, then this practice can bring freshness in you. Therefore, it is called ‘victorious breath’, because it increases both confidence and internal power.
