Ujjayi Pranayama
Posture:
Sit in a comfortable posture turning the tip of the tongue backwards to touch the upper palate as is done in Kechari Mudra.
Process:
Inhale and exhale through the glottis at a low, uniform rate, touching the chin to the throat.
A sweet sound should be heard like a baby snoring during respiration. After inhalation, touch the chin to the throat (jalandharbandha). Continue this practice for periods from three to thirty minutes as desired
