About Breathwork

Breathwork; Breathing Exercise is an iOS app from Emmanuel Tassone for guided breathing and relaxation. Sessions are designed to take as little as three minutes, with the aim of calming the mind, reducing stress, aiding sleep and improving focus.

The technique list draws on yoga practices such as Kapalbhati, Sama Vritti, Anuloma and Ujjayi. A heart rate monitor uses the phone's camera to take readings before and after an exercise so you can see progress, and the app adds a curated playlist of relaxing yoga music, a yoga timer and a daily log of exercises and heart rate.

The App Store lists the app as free with in-app purchases, for iPhone only, in the Lifestyle category. It is a wellness aid and not a medical device.
