**** ABOUT PRANAYAMA ****

Pranayama is composed of two Sanskrit words: Prāna, which means life force, or vital energy (for the breath particularly) and "āyāma," to suspend or restrain. It is often translated as control of the life force. When used as a technical term in yoga, it is often translated more specifically as "breath control." For current students of yoga, our app can help you improve your technique without much conscious effort, so that you can focus your mind purely on breathing and technique. It is a portable, customizable tool that will take your practice of yoga to the next level.

Room for improvement

A very well thought out application however I will agree with other reviewers it needs more variation of exercises. You should also be able to incorporate music from your iTunes purchases to run in the background, as many other applications already have this feature.

Very straightforward and a real boost for your health and well-being

I’ve had this app nearly 8 years and have found it to be excellent for improving both mind and body. Thought it deserved more positive reviews.

I bought it first for something to help me with depression. The idea being that if I could control my breathing I could control my anxiety. It worked for me over a period of 6 months as I weaned myself off antidepressants. Probably would have been better not being on them in the first place...but this app was very helpful alongside other things I did to get well.

Good breathing is necessary for any sport and even walking up the stairs! Doing these breathing exercises with good posture is also good for your posture.

I also feel that good breathing is good for mental clarity.

I did email the developer asking about adding other breathing techniques that form part of pranayama philosophy but they felt that trying to teach those via an app was too hard and risky. In hindsight I’d agree with them. The benefits from just these basic techniques are pretty good.

I really like this app

I have really enjoyed this and it has helped me. Thank you for creating this. Would be good if there was more breathing exercises but I would still recommend
