Clear stress, release anxiety, & heal from stuck emotions that cause overwhelm in the body. Using nothing but your breath. Pause Breathwork is the #1 breathwork app for sleep, clearing stress and anxiety, and feeling energized. We’ve developed the perfect breathwork app for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users with hundreds of breathwork sessions and breathing exercises to choose from. We believe that constant stress and anxiety should not be considered “part of the norm”. That’s why we developed the Pause Breathwork app. To give you access to the transformational effects of breathwork in your pocket, and everywhere you go. Breathwork has a wide range of scientifically proven cognitive, emotional, and physical benefits. Clear your mind and release any doubt, judgment, or limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Embody self-love and tap further into your intuition. Find inner peace, reconnect with your center, ground yourself, and open your heart to infinite possibilities. Release yourself from physical pain, emotional barriers, and energetic blocks. Stimulate your nervous system to increase your energy levels naturally. Put your mind and body into an ideal state for optimal sleep and restoration. And so much more… After just 90 seconds of Breathwork you will experience improved mental clarity, increased performance, reduced stress, and increased levels of energy, vitality, bliss, peace, and happiness. There are a lot of breathing exercises being taught out there with the main goal or outcome being “relaxation”, but with Pause, relaxation and connection are an after effect of the practice. The main goal and outcome with Pause is to unearth the stuck energy that prevents us from living in our highest alignment and operating in elevated frequencies. Pause: Breathwork uses intentional stimulation (breath, music, and movement) to regulate the nervous system and bring your body back into balance. Our breathwork tracks range from 5 minutes to 40 minutes, so you can select the type of session that fits best with your schedule. You can choose our 5 minute “Take a breather” audios for a quick hit, or dive into a 20-40 minute “Go on a journey” full body experience. No matter the time of the day, we have audios to help you optimize your emotional state, energize your body upon waking up, or to calm your mind down so you can sleep restfully. Choose the type of breathwork exercise that fits your daily needs best: Breathers: short breathing exercises that are 3, 5, or 10 minutes in length. Designed to give you ultimate relaxation, healing, and energy in a short amount of time. Breathwork Journeys: longer breathing exercises that are 25 or 45 minutes in length. Designed to be practiced while you’re laying down to deliver deeper healing. These exercises are intended to clear stuck heaviness, emotions, and mental blocks. LIVE Breathwork: available in our online community, ask questions, and go deeper in your healing transformation. You are only one breath away from feeling clear, powerful, and at ease in your body.
