What Breath is for
Breath accompanies your breathing practice: it keeps the pace with an animation, sounds and, if you like, a voice. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. You decide which breathing to do, for how long and when to stop.
No substitute for a health professional
Breath doesn't replace care from a health professional. If you're pregnant or have a heart, lung or blood pressure condition, epilepsy or severe anxiety, ask your care provider first. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Intense breathings
Some breathings are intense, such as fast breathing or long breath holds, and they are marked that way in the catalog. Do them sitting or lying down, never in water and never while driving. If you feel dizzy, stop and go back to breathing normally.
The practices in the guides
The guides describe practices and traditions, such as pranayama, as what they are. Where a breathing has been studied, we tell you what the studies found and link the sources.
The texts
The texts on Breath belong to their authors. You may quote them with a link to the page they came from.
Your data
Your diary and your breathings are yours and stay on your device (see the privacy policy). If you delete them or lose the device, we can't recover them: export a copy now and then.
