About this app

The Breathing App (TBA) original is inspired by Resonance Frequency—the scientific term that describes what happens when our heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, and brainwave function align in a coherent wave. This occurs spontaneously when we breathe at a pace of five to seven breaths per minute, resulting in calm, restful alertness and other benefits.

About Resonance Frequency

The effects of resonance support the innate ability of our body, nervous system, and emotions to restore themselves. This is achieved by balancing the two complementary branches of the autonomic nervous system, which governs heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiration, and other automatic functions.

How is it possible for one breathing technique to do so much? The answer lies within our nervous system. By breathing at your resonance frequency, you enter into an even balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system:

The sympathetic branch, which moves us toward activity
The parasympathetic branch, which moves us toward rest

New Updates
Although TBA focuses on Resonance Frequency, we’ve added advanced ratios to expand your breath practice repertoire. These ratios also use our breathing sounds to guide you.

What’s in the App?

TBA includes:
2 Kids Ratios (Free)
4 Resonance Frequency Ratios (Free)
4 Focusing Breathing Ratios (Premium)
4 Energizing Breathing Ratios (Premium)
4 Calming Breathing Ratios (Premium)
4 Grounding Breathing Ratios (Premium)

Each breath group offers beginner through advanced practices to suit your breathing needs.

All breath practices can be done through both nostrils for normal breathing, or through one nostril at a time for alternate-nostril breathing, giving you flexibility in your practice.

Our breath sound feature, along with the expanded section on ratios, is a great teaching tool. Many of the included ratios were created with yoga and breath teachers in mind for use in classes.

Ratings and reviews

There is a brief pause after every 4 breaths. Only 1 count but it throws me off my rhythm every time. If you can get past that it's great. It does one thing well. Several speeds to choose from, guided by monotone sound or visual circle. No distracting music like other apps. No bell at the end to wake you up if that's why you use it. Unfortunately I am distracted by the pause every 4th breath so it doesn't work for me.

this is a great app. it is simple to use & basically foolproof, So you will find yourself using it a lot. this is not another useless app that will chew up space and memory on your phone. I have had it on my phone for several years, but recently it received an upgrade. The upgrade is even better than the original, and has several other features available through a premium subscription. You will not regret downloading this.

Super simple! Exactly what I want out of a mid-day reset! No feed, no ads, no suggested guided meditations. Just a simple sound scape to use as a touch point as my mind starts to wander.
