#ujjayi breathing

Sudarshan Kriya, a rhythmic breathing technique rooted in ancient yoga, helps reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. The practice includes four stages: Ujjayi (calming breath), Bhastrika (energizing breath), Om chanting (centering the mind), and Sudarshan Kriya (cyclical breathing). It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol levels, and improves oxygen supply, leading to better mental clarity and emotional regulation. Benefits also include boosted immune function, improved sleep quality, and enhanced focus. Regular practice can effectively combat stress and promote mental and physical health.

Did your yoga teacher training prepare you to help students deal with their winter blues? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a seasonal form of depression. This disorder tends to occur most frequently in the fall and winter months in geographical areas of the world that are furthest from the equator. As winter ensues in parts of the world such as North America, Northern Europe, Scandinavia and so on, the diminishing amount of sunlight can profoundly affect people who are vulnerable to depression. The blustery weather conditions during the winter months in these areas also dissuades people from going outside and exercising in the brief periods of sunlight that are available each day. Statistically, women are more four times more likely to suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder than men.

From a psychological perspective, Ujjayi breathing helps to diminish mental distraction and intensify the focus on the present. When an entire class breathes in unison with the Ujjayi breath, the effect is quite powerful. The breath creates a rhythm for the class and brings students together in a potent and meditative way.

Breathing is important not just because it gives us life, but also because inhalation and exhalation establishes a constant flow of energy and release within your body. It's also important for ridding us of toxins, as the lungs are one of our filtering and elimination organs. By learning to control and regulate your breathing, it can lead you to spiritual awakening, self-realization and optimal health.
