Ujjayi breathing minus doing yoga?
Can you do ujjayi breathing without going into yoga postures? I've be practicing active exhalation and want to verbs to another form of breathing without getting into the stretches. Also are near any good instructional sites on how to properly do this method of breathing?
Answer: I use Ujjayi technique both while practicing asanas, and for sitting meditation.
A Google investigate on "Ujjayi" will result in plentiful pages/articles on the topic.
There are even a few Ujjayi, and several pranayam(a) videos on YouTube.com.
B.K.S. Iyengar's step by step instruction on the technique can be found at http://www.lifepositive.com/Body/yoga/uj...
And, logically Iyengar's book, "Light on Pranayama" is a classic. http://www.amazon.com/Light-Pranayama-Yo...
Namaste',
