Prānāyāma is a fundamental practice in yoga that involves the regulation and control of breath. The term comes from the Sanskrit words "prāṇa" (life force or vital energy) and "āyāma" (extension or control). Prānāyāma helps to improve respiratory function, increase lung capacity, enhance mental focus, and cultivate a deeper connection between body and mind.

Ujjāyī Prānāyāma translates to the upward moving breath of success. It is commonly referred to as "victorious breath" or "ocean breath," and is a specific type of prānāyāma characterized by a gentle, audible breath created by constricting the throat slightly while inhaling and exhaling through the nose. This technique creates a soothing sound reminiscent of ocean waves and helps to:

- Promote relaxation and mental clarity

- Increase oxygenation and detoxification

- Enhance concentration during meditation and āsana (posture) practice

- Regulate and balance the flow of prāṇa in the body
