Pranayama
I love how this meditation teaches you how to breathe. The levels you can progress to is great. Since using pranayama it has improved my sleep so much, which is why I brought it in the first place.
The best app for breathing exercise
This really help me. This is thé first step before doing yoga. This is for beginner but you should try it. I bet you Will feel special after only 10 minutes.
Highly Recommended
Not only teaches you but has a calendar to keep you motivated to do a session regularly. Benefits felt right away ie stronger lungs and breathing and relaxed. Would benefit from more sounds like a gong or chime and maybe some nice background sound like a waterfall. Doesn't have ads like free version.

Great but doesn't allow background music
There is a great ambient noise generator I just paid for in order for it to act as background "music" while I used this pranayama app. Unfortunately when i started this app the background noise faded out.
For an app that costs $5 I think it should at least let us continue our own sound scape, esp for those of us who live around lots of distracting noise.
Otherwise well worth the money! To your health!

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.
Great app, very useful and medically beneficial
Honestly, this is a great app. I was going through a rough time and was seeing a therapist and she taught me deep breathing as part of cognitive behavioral therapy, to help with my depression and anxiety. I've been using this app in conjunction with some gujded meditation apps (rest & relax is great, so is guided insight meditation) and i have seen noticeable improvements to my physical health and mind. Could probably use an option for variable breath lengths (faster to slower to fast again in a random cycle) but as is the app is worth price. Must have for anybody serious about meditation and focus techniques.

Great app, should include cautions re breathing exercises
This app is beautifully conceived and executed.
Note that when pranayama is taught by a teacher there may be some cautions re overdoing it. This app doesn't provide that. I suggest that you advance slowly and if you notice difficulty sleeping or agitation that you take some time off from the practice. For most people I wouldn't expect this to be a problem with moderate use of the app.

Appeciate the ability to customize
Very good to let one set up own regimen of inhaling, holding, and exhaling. Would be perfect if you could measure in half seconds as well as seconds, but not a big deal. Another suggestion would be to include a few more choices for music or tone accompaniment. But, in the end, thaw program is a real aid to meditation by breath control. For one thing, I no longer need to count while meditating.

Excellent in every way
I love this app, use it every day and recommend it to my clients (I am a psychotherapist). Not only it is good for relaxation and meditation but it also has improved my running capability (in just one week I doubled the running time and increased speed at the same time). It's easy to use, and I also like that it has many levels and you can customize the amount of time spent

The best
This is the most practical and helpful app on the store. Most of my stress and health related problems is cause of my fast and shallow breathing. And this simple, practical app have helped me SOO MUCH! And now with customized breathing patterns,makes this app the best on its class. And the price? AWESOME. Let me tell you, I own a $300 mind machine, and this simple app have given more benefits to my life.
