Breathe Use UjjayiPranayama (Victorious Breath) throughout the sequence. To try it, inhale deeply, and as you exhale, whisper "hhhaaa." Halfway through the exhalation, close your mouth and let the air exit through your nose but continue to make an audible sound. Try adding a gentle smile, which will help the air swirl around the back of the throat. This action creates a unique sound, often compared to the wind in the trees, the ocean, or even Darth Vader in Star Wars.
