Pranayama techniques covered in the Deepen program include: Kapalabhati, a pranayama technique used as a preparatory exercise to cleanse the body before asana practice. Ujjayi pranayama, sometimes referred to as Ocean Breath. It involves breathing in and out deeply through both nostrils while producing a vibration in the throat. This strengthens the diaphragm, calms the breath, and encourages the healthy flow of prana.   Ujjayi serves as a focal point when working through asana practice, steadying the mind and slowing  down the nervous system. Nadi Shodhana, a breathing exercise that balances the masculine and feminine energies of the body. Creating this balance is calming and helps with concentration. Bhastrika, an advanced pranayama exercise that brings oxygen to the blood and promotes a deeper sense of vitality. Nauli, an advanced pranayama and cleansing technique that engages the transverse abdominals and acts as an internal massage across your visceral organs.
