## What is Praana?

Find stillness in every breath.  

Praana is your personal breathing guide, helping you calm your mind, reset your energy, and restore balance in just a few minutes a day.

With guided exercises based on well-known, science-backed breathing techniques, Praana makes it easy to feel better anytime, anywhere.

BEAUTIFUL, INTUITIVE EXPERIENCE

• Clear visual animations show exactly when to inhale, hold, and exhale, so you never have to guess  
• Gentle haptic feedback keeps you in rhythm even with your eyes closed or screen off  
• Zen mode removes all distractions, letting you sink deeper into your practice  
• Dark mode optimized design is easy on your eyes during evening or bedtime sessions  
• Full accessibility support makes every exercise usable with VoiceOver and larger text

CALM AND RELAX

Use these exercises to unwind after a long day, ease anxiety, or prepare for sleep.

• Physiological Sigh: Two quick inhales followed by a long exhale to quickly calm your nervous system in real time  
• 4-7-8 Relaxing Breath: A simple pattern to naturally fall asleep faster and quiet racing thoughts at night  
• 2-1-4-1 Unwind: Gentle, beginner-friendly pacing to release tension without feeling out of breath  
• Coherent Breathing: Slow, steady breathing that reduces stress and supports healthy heart rate variability

FOCUS AND ENERGY

Perfect before important meetings, study sessions, workouts, or whenever you feel sluggish or scattered.

• Box Breathing: The same four-part technique used by Navy SEALs to stay focused and steady under pressure  
• Stimulating Breath: Short, rapid breaths to wake you up, sharpen focus, and shake off afternoon fatigue  
• Wim Hof Method: A powerful, guided rhythm designed to boost energy, build resilience, and support immunity

BALANCE AND CLARITY

Use these techniques to reset your mood, center your mind, and feel more grounded.

• Alternate Nostril: Traditional practice to balance left and right brain activity, ease mental overload, and steady your emotions  
• Resonant Breathing: Breathe at your body’s natural resonance frequency to promote heart-brain coherence and inner stability  
• Breath of Fire: Fast, rhythmic breathing to clear mental fog and energize your core in minutes

DESIGNED TO FIT YOUR LIFE

Open Praana for a quick one-minute reset between meetings, a five-minute calm-down before sleep, or a focused session before a big performance. Every exercise is clearly labeled with its purpose, so you can choose exactly what you need in the moment:

• Calm down quickly during stressful situations  
• Drift into deeper, more restful sleep  
• Boost energy without caffeine  
• Increase focus and mental clarity  
• Build a steady, daily breathing habit

Between each breath lies a moment of stillness. Praana helps you find it whenever you need it.
