Does Ujjayi Pranayama have a calming effect or does it stimulate and generate heat?

Support Team Updated by Support Team

Ujjayi Pranayama, often referred to as the "oceanic breath" or "victorious breath," serves both calming and heat-generating purposes. On one hand, the deep and rhythmic nature of the Ujjayi breath can induce a meditative state, helping to focus the mind and bring about a sense of relaxation. On the other hand, this pranayama also creates internal heat, aiding in the purification of the body and the warming of the muscles. The dual effects make it a common breathing technique used in many yoga practices, especially in Vinyasa and Ashtanga styles.
