Included Programs:

Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)

Also known as Navy SEAL or tactical breathing, this is a surprisingly simple and effective way to help regain calm and control of your thoughts when under stress. Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. All through your nose.

Relaxing Breathing (4-7-8)

Have trouble falling asleep? Try this 4-7-8 technique. Inhale for 4 through your nose, hold for 7, exhale for 8 out of your mouth.

Equal Breathing (4-4)

A pranayama practice called Sama Vritti, this breath can help take your mind off the racing thoughts or whatever might be distracting you. Inhale for 4, exhale for 4. All through your nose. (Try a 6 or 8 count, once you feel comfortable.)

Measured Breathing (4-1-7)

A handy stress-reducing practice that can be done anywhere, anytime. Inhale for 4, hold for 1, exhale for 7. All through your nose.

Triangle Breathing (4-4-4)

Another great technique that can help alleviate anxiety or stress. Imagine a triangle with equal sides. Inhale for 4, exhale for 4, pause for 4. Repeat.

We hope Awesome Breathing helps you reach your goals, and look forward to being a part of your journey. We are just getting started, so would love to hear your reviews and feedback!

Ratings and reviews

This is the perfect simple, customizable, and well designed app I needed to start my breath work practice. I love the quality they're giving for no subscription! It has one visualization for "box breathing" (which has been studied for helping reduce stress both in the moment and long term). You can play with rhythm, sounds, and colors. My only request would be to try out some other visuals. Different things will connect with different people. It already delivers on par with subscription apps.

Absolutely love this program. it gives you the basic recognized reading programs, and there's an option where you can add your own, such as if you wish to add a vagus nerve stimulation sequence. There are also three different voices you can select from and different tones you can select to begin and end your time sequences.

I love the idea of this app!! I'm very excited to make a habit out of using it. I have noticed that with my Galaxy phone, I am not able to customize the days of the week I can set a reminder, only the time. I had my friend with an iPhone test it out and she could do it. I'd also like if there were at least 4 different reminders I could set. My schedule varies a lot from day to day as I work part time. It would be nice to have a morning and night alarm for my work-day and off-day schedule.
