Udgeeth Pranayama

Method of Practice: Udgeeth Pranayama

01
Sit comfortably in Sukhasana (Easy Pose) with your spine erect. This pranayama may also be practiced while sitting upright on a chair.
02
Close your eyes and rest your hands on your knees in Jnana Mudra (touching the tips of the thumb and index finger together).
03
Inhale slowly and deeply through the nose.
04
As you exhale, chant “Om (AUM)” in a slow, rhythmic, and continuous manner. The “O” sound should be prolonged for approximately 85% of the exhalation, while the “U” and “M” sounds together should occupy the remaining 15%.
05
Repeat this practice 5–10 times, or according to your comfort.
