About
Start your day centered. Just 2 minutes.
First Breath is a mindful breathing app designed to help you begin each day calm, focused, and ready. Unlike apps that want more of your time, First Breath encourages you to breathe, then put the phone down and live your life.
4 BREATHING PATTERNS
Calm — Gentle breathing with extended exhale for relaxation
Box — Equal timing used by Navy SEALs for focus under pressure
4-7-8 — Dr. Andrew Weil's technique for deep relaxation and sleep
Energize — Quick breaths to wake up without caffeine
Each pattern includes the science behind why it works, the benefits, and when to use it.

DAILY REMINDERS
