Yogi Breath is a structured breathing exercise app designed to help you build a consistent practice. Explore 42 guided pranayama breathing techniques across 6 progressive levels from complete beginner to advanced. Designed for users who want structured and guided breath training rather than generic meditation.
Breathwork is the intentional practice of controlling breathing patterns to support relaxation, focus, breath awareness, and overall wellbeing. Rooted in traditional pranayama and adapted for modern wellness, Yogi Breath builds strong foundations before introducing advanced breath retention and bandha practices.

I’ve been doing breathwork for years but this app makes it an easy practice to log my minutes, how I feel and what I’ve done at the time that made good progress. I recommend this App

The voice
mjand0
The voice guide for the breathing exercises is really robotic and doesn’t make me feel relaxed. Otherwise I’m enjoying the app so far.
Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback! 😊We hear you on the voice experience. The app uses your device’s built-in voices, and you can switch to a different (often more natural-sounding) one by downloading enhanced/premium voices in your device settings: Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak → Voices → [Your Language] → DownloadOnce installed, you can select it in the app under: Exercise Settings → Controls → Voice-OverWe’re also working on improving voice options further in future updates. We hope to earn that updated review from you soon! ❤️Thanks again for sharing your perspective - it genuinely helps us make the app better. 🙏🏻
Fixed an issue where the Game Center badge wasn't awarded correctly for users who completed pranayama breathing exercises on Yoga Day. Thanks for your patience - happy practicing!
