Glossary:

"Ujjayi" breathing is a breathing technique employed in a variety of Taoist and Yoga practices. In relation to Yoga, it is sometimes called "the ocean breath".
Ujjayi is a diaphragmatic breath, which first fills the lower belly (said to activate the first and second chakras), rises to the lower rib cage (said to correspond to the third and fourth chakras), and finally moves into the upper chest and throat.

"Kumbhaka" is the retention of the breath in the hatha yoga practice of pranayama. It has two types, accompanied (by breathing) whether after inhalation or after exhalation, and, the ultimate aim, unaccompanied. That state is kevala kumbhaka, the complete suspension of the breath for as long as the practitioner wishes.
