Breathing Yoga Pranayama

What is Yogic Breathing or Pranayama?
‘Prana’ refers to the universal life force and ‘ayama’ means to regulate or lengthen. Prana is the vital energy needed by our physical and subtle layers, without which the body would perish. It is what keeps us alive. Pranayama is the control of prana through the breath. These techniques rely on breathing through the nostrils.

Prana flows through thousands of subtle energy channels called ‘nadis’ and energy centers called ‘chakras’. The quantity and quality of prana and the way it flows through the nadis and chakras determines one’s state of mind. If the Prana level is high and its flow is continuous, smooth and steady, the mind remains calm, positive and enthusiastic. However, due to lack of knowledge and attention to one’s breath, the nadis and chakras in the average person may be partially or fully blocked leading to jerky and broken flow. As a result one experiences increased worries, fear, uncertainty, tensions, conflict and other negative qualities.

The ancient sages of India realized these breathing techniques. Some common pranayamas include Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, and Nadi shodan pranayama. Regular practice increases and enhances the quantity and quality of prana, clears blocked nadis and chakras, and results in the practitioner feeling energetic, enthusiastic and positive. Practiced correctly under the right supervision prananyama brings harmony between the body, mind and spirit, making one physically, mentally and spiritually strong.

We forget to breathe properly and this is a good reminder and helps me relax. Being able to change your view (I love "sea") just adds to the experience.

I like this app and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to get into breathing exercises for health optimization. in particular, I like the fact that you can customize your breathing settings to whatever number of seconds you prefer. I really love that feature.

Great for meditating! It's great becsuse you can customize your breathing pattern and there's an audible signal for inhale, exhale and retain so you can close your eyes and really "get in there". Simple AND Perfect!

Easy and quick to set up and use. Custom breathing cycle great feature, as is repetition counter. Only negative is the "pseudo-Hindu" script used - small fonts hard to read.

I am @ 80 +.During 1975 I studied about Breathing Yoga & occasionally followed. Even typed & kept beneath the glass of my table & followed as a routine. After Covid in 6/2021, when tried I met failures, but tried to fulfill the adopted cycles. Atlast I succeeded. So everybody must do for their problemless longevity

Excellent App I was in search for Just one suggestion after completion of total breathing cycle there should be a time indication.

I think this breathe app is wonderful. It is a good way to remain calm. So far, I have been able to handle things more calmly. This app can be any yogi's dream come true. This is the best mindfulness app I have ever used.

Great breathing trainer. I will use this everyday. I love the custom, only wish it would save my last custom times. And need more music options. Still great tho.

Rez. G. Jun 17, 2019     

"Bad Audio Choices For Training" is the weakness of this app, and ability to create and customizing new exercise is great. Thank you.

Ann. K. Mar 19, 2020     

Great app to measure your breath. It is very simple and that is what I love about it & a customize option to make own selection!

Jan. S. May 4, 2019     

I routinely recommend this app to clients. There are adds, but they don't interupt the breathing exercises.

Hea. F. Jun 1, 2019     

So simple to use, quickly access calm breathing coach right from your phone, could use it anywhere! Option to turn on nice gentle music to help you relax while in privacy of your home.

Eri. S. Apr 16, 2019     

the ads NEVER INTERRUPT SESSION, to not use this for these types of ads is highly ignorant. i am sorry if this offends you but that would be a problem you must HEAL BY YOURSELF. ...OR!, or!!! YOU CAN USE THESE DIVINE TONES, BREATHING EXERCISES, AND AMBIANCE TO ROCK RIGHT THROUGH IT! 💞👥✨🙏💚💙😁

Bec. A. Sep 18, 2019     

Literally have had this app for 5 sec and I'm uninstalling it. I have ptsd and needed something calm and all I got was constant triggering ads loud as hell in my ear!!! Total bs app

Bre. W. Mar 27, 2020

MAL. P. Dec 18, 2019

Mel. B. Apr 27, 2022

eng. d. Jun 19, 2020     

Very nice we can adjust time rate Only the sound between inhale and exhale shall be given specific sound like bell or stick

Dee. m. Sep 22, 2021     

Thanks to developer who made this. It's easy to use but very very useful app. And custom setting is the best thing in it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic little app. Great increase pulmonary capacity stimulator. Plus increasing prana.

Gan. B. Sep 9, 2019     

It is improving my Pranayama practice. If custom is further developed to save about 5 kinds of customs it would help Pranayama practitioner. Thanks

Raj. K. Jun 10, 2020     

Not bad but if number of repetition and time completed is also shown than better ....

Lyn. B. Jun 3, 2020     

Ok, but ending ads with sound blew it for me. Uninstalled after 1 use.

Jyo. P. Apr 21, 2021
