Stay active with Desk Breaks, by breaking up long periods of sitting time with light activity.

About

I had a problem. In my meditation sessions I did not know when the sub sections of my mediation routines were supposed to stop. I did not want to open my eyes every few mins to see if the sub section is completed. So I made this app initially for myself. Thought others might benefit from it. I truly believe Tuirya (the fourth state) is reachable. And I believe Pranayama is one way for it. And Pranayama has physiological and psychological benefits too. This is why I want to help myself and others setup a consistent practice of pranayama. The pranayama sessions in this app are setup following Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Gheranda Samhita. I don't get anything out of this app. I don't intend to monetize it as long as I am able to bear the costs. I don't use your data for anything either. I just want the satisfaction of being able to help someone progress - psychologically and spiritually.
