About this app

A new kind of high — powered by breath.

Most people think breathing more means more oxygen. The opposite is true. Your body needs CO2 to release oxygen from your blood — and when you learn to breathe less, in rhythm, to music, something remarkable happens.

SOMA Breath was selected for peer-reviewed research at Cambridge University — the largest breathwork study ever conducted. Participants reached altered states of consciousness through breathing alone. No substances. Just breathing in beats.

And here's the honest bit: most breathwork apps are boring. Counting breaths in silence is a chore, and chores don't change lives. So we built breathwork around music — transmissional tracks engineered with brainwave entrainment that make your daily practice something you actually crave.

🎵 BREATHE IN BEATS — Every session syncs your breath to music designed to guide you through a complete arc: activation, peak, integration, afterglow.

🎯 THE VIBE SELECTOR — Tell it how you feel and it picks the perfect session: a quick hit or a deep dive, energy, focus, or sleep. No scrolling, no decision fatigue.

💊 THE BREATH PHARMACY — Precision breathing techniques matched to specific outcomes. Wired at 2am, foggy before a meeting, flat before a workout — there's a breath for that.

🌍 GLOBAL COHERENCE & THE BREATHE ROOM — Right now, someone in Bali, Berlin, and Boston is breathing at exactly the same pace. Join them. Live practice with people in 50+ countries.

⏱️ IHT TRACKER — Like intermittent fasting, but for oxygen. Controlled breath holds train your body to use oxygen more efficiently.

📈 MBHT — YOUR BREATH FITNESS SCORE — One honest number that tracks your transformation. No wearables needed.

🌅 DAILY PRACTICE BUILDER — Your complete morning ritual — movement, breathwork, integration — assembled in seconds.

❤️ HRV READINESS (optional) — Pair an optional pulse oximeter for deeper session insight — entirely optional, the breath works either way.

🌐 THE TRIBE — 4,000+ certified instructors. 50+ countries. Live events, real teachers, a global community breathing together daily.

500+ hours of sessions. New tracks every two weeks. Founded by Niraj Naik — a former pharmacist who healed himself when medicine had nothing left to offer.

SOMA Breath supports wellbeing and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.

Ratings and reviews

I have started using SOMA Breath App since hearing about it at Ken Honda's Happy Wealth Summit last May. I have decided to install it because I figured that I can work on my lung capacity and I need to improve my everyday energy because I always feel groggy. So far so good. I always look forward to practicing breath work every time I wake up. However, recently, it seems that the app is having a bug of not showing my downloads when I am offline and sometimes the music is just stuck at loading.

I love the content, but the continuous buffering during the session is affecting my experience. It's really not fun practicing this way! I downloaded the session but that is not making any difference. I checked if I need to update the app but looks like there is no updates. Could you please fix this issue? Update: turns out, strangely my earphones were causing the interruption. I changed them and the issue was resolved. I love this app and starting my day with soma breathing. Thank You!

Everyone needs this app in their life. I really don't have the words to fully express how quickly this app is changing my life. Niraj has simplified the science of breath and techniques in short, easy to understand and follow along videos. My gratitude in this moment is so immense that I'm brought to tears 😀 Thank you Universe 🌻🌻🌻🌻
