Pranayama: Everyday Breathwork

Description

Pranayama is a focused space for everyday breathwork. Open the app and it offers a practice suited to the time of day — then move through traditional pranayama techniques and guided meditations, paced by a breathing orb that expands and contracts with every inhale and exhale.

PRACTICES
Twelve traditional pranayama techniques, plus guided dhyana:
• Sama Vritti (Box breathing) — equal four-part breath to steady the mind
• Dirga Pranayama (Full yogic / three-part breath) — deep, complete breathing
• Nadi Shodhana / Anulom Vilom (Alternate nostril) — balance and clarity
• Bhastrika (Bellows breath) — invigorating, energizing breath
• Bhramari (Humming bee breath) — a soft hum to release tension
• Kapalbhati (Skull-shining breath) — sharp, cleansing exhales
• Ujjayi (Victorious / Ocean breath) — a soft ocean sound to settle into
• Viloma (Interrupted breath) — a climbing breath, paused partway
• Surya Bhedana (Sun-piercing breath) — right-nostril breathing to warm and wake
• Chandra Bhedana (Moon-piercing breath) — left-nostril breathing to cool and quiet
• Sheetali (Cooling breath) — drawn over a rolled tongue
• Sheetkari (Hissing breath) — drawn through lightly clenched teeth
• Guided dhyana — Kaya Sthairyam (body steadiness), Prana Dharana (focus on the breath), and Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses)

FLOWS
Chain several practices into one unbroken sitting, with a rest between each. Start Daily round, Energizing Flow or Calming Flow, or build and name your own — then close your eyes at the first breath and keep them closed to the end. Each practice in a flow is counted on its own, so a sitting you cut short still records exactly what you did.

OPENS WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
There is nothing to set up. The app suggests a practice for the hour you open it — something bright in the morning, something quieting at night. Heart the practices and flows you return to and they lead your Today screen, with the ones you practiced recently just below.

CONFIGURABLE SESSIONS
Set your own pace and duration before you begin. Each technique adapts its inhale, hold, exhale, and pause to a breath spec you control, so a session fits the time and energy you have.

THE PRANA ORB
A gentle, breathing orb guides every round visually — no counting, no clock-watching. Just follow its rhythm. Optional voice, metronome and haptic cues mark each phase, so you can practice with your eyes closed or your screen away.

SEE YOUR PRACTICE GROW
Every session is saved. Progress tracks your streak, your minutes this week, and time in each technique, and every practice has its own insights screen. Share a plain-text summary of the day's practice whenever you want to.

YOUR PRACTICE, ON EVERY DEVICE
Sign in with your email and a six-digit code — no password — and your history, streaks, favorites and flows follow you to your other devices, iPhone and Android alike. Your practice data is encrypted in transit and at rest. There are no ads, no analytics and no third-party trackers, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app at any time.

DESIGNED TO BE CALM
• A warm, seasonal palette and quiet typography
• Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support
• A reduce-motion option for a stiller experience

Breathe with intention.
