    Ujjayi pranayama involves slowly inhaling through both nostrils while feeling a rubbing sensation in the throat, as if the breath is traveling from the throat to the heart. The breath is then retained internally using kumbhaka, and exhaled through the left nostril. This technique removes kapha disorders in the throat, increases metabolism, and helps cure diseases of the tissues and nadi channels. Ujjayi kumbhaka can be practiced while walking or standing still.

    Now ujjāyī [is described].
    II.51: Closing the mouth, inhale slowly through both nostrils from the throat to the heart [feeling a
    rubbing sensation in the throat].
    II.52: Then practice kumbhaka as previously [instructed in sūryabhedana] and exhale the breath
    through the left nostril (iḍā).
    [Krishnamacharya] During inhalation, the feeling should be from the neck till the diaphragm. Alternate nostril
    exhalation is to be inferred.
