Ujjayi Breathing
Remember this is an Intro to Ashtnga and plenty to be going on with here however....you might like to take a look at an earlier post of mine for some more thoughts on Ujjayi and perhaps a different viewpoint
Ujjayi breathing. Is Ashtanga traditional? Kumbhaka in Yoga Makaranda

I include a quote from this on my previous post, a guest post by Matthias called
Guest post: Visitor report from Kino and Tim's Miami Life Centre - Mysore Intensive Old shala style
"If you are doing mostly self-practicing and are wishing for support, you are not alone. Many people practice mostly at home... The most nourishing way to receive this sort of inspiration [from a true master teacher of this method] is to keep your eyes open for a teacher who excites you and who knows something you don't. Go to them at their home base, not a workshop. Spend time practicing in, and being in, that setting. Just be yourself there. Deliver your whole mind-body to the experience. Do honest practice. Pay attention. Hang out with the teacher's other students. Prioritize listening over performing, and over trying to get approval or quick answers. Then the following year, do it again."
