**** ABOUT PRANAYAMA ****
Pranayama (Sanskrit: प्राणायाम prāṇāyāma) 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.

Great App
I use it every day. Clean user interface and solid performance.
A+
I used this and was able to better understand proper breathing for JuJutsu and Zen meditation. The combination of visual and audible cues are perfect. Also, late one night I could not get to sleep and decided to play with this app. I was able to go to sleep easily. I have been trying to remember to use this if I can't sleep. Overall this app is the best one on my phone.
Excellent breathing sequences
I enjoy this app almost everyday. It keeps me on track with the rhythm of my breathing, and the visual and audio are excellent guides for developing that smooth quality of breath. I definitely recommend this app to friends interested in developing a breathing routine.
