Traditional breath practice, guided at the pace you are actually breathing - and with the seat you are holding watched while you do it.
Not a video library, and not a breathing timer.
Practices are grouped by purpose as well as by name, so you can arrive wanting to settle before sleep and leave having practised something specific, rather than searching for a term you have not met yet.
Every practice runs on a paced cue - visual while you are watching, audio once your eyes are closed. Nostril-specific practices are cued side by side.
Pranayama depends on the position you hold it in. The seat and posture you practise in are monitored during the session, which is the part a recording of a class cannot do.
Each practice states what to do beforehand and when not to practise at all. The app guides the practice; it does not present itself as a replacement for a teacher.
Completed practices are kept against your account and can be scheduled into your week, so the move from closely guided to less guided is something you can see.
Paced breathing you can follow on a first attempt - breath observation, deep yogic breathing, even-count and extended-exhale patterns. No Sanskrit needed to begin.
Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari, Ujjayi and related practices, taught with their preparation, hand position and precautions rather than as a timer with a name attached.
Practices that hold the breath are offered only where the level and the safety profile allow it, and never as the starting point.
Breath practice is not suitable for everyone in every state. Each practice lists its own precautions, and practices involving retention are withheld where your assessment indicates they are not appropriate. If you are pregnant, recovering from illness, or managing a heart or respiratory condition, speak to your clinician before starting.
