Nooma is a calm, beautifully crafted breathing and yoga companion for moments when you need to settle, focus, or reset. A REAL HUMAN VOICE GUIDES EVERY SESSION. Unlike apps that read instructions from a textbook, Nooma's voice is hand-written for spoken delivery — warm, encouraging, instructor-toned. She greets you at the start of each session, explains the technique, walks you through every pose or breath, and leaves you with a thoughtful close. BREATHING EXERCISES Eight evidence-based techniques across four moods: • Morning energy — Energising Breath, Sunrise Box • Wind down — 4-7-8, Body Scan Breath • Stress relief — Box Breathing, Physiological Sigh • Focus — Triangle Breath, Rhythmic Focus Each session has a guided intro, real-time cycle 1 coaching, mid-session check-in, progress callouts ("two more cycles" / "last cycle, finish strong"), and a calm outro. YOGA FLOWS Eleven structured flows from 5-minute resets to 25-minute full-body sequences. Sun Salutation A, Evening Wind Down, Power Flow, Deep Hip Release, Heart Opener, Balance & Stillness, and more. Each pose is walked through naturally — Nooma sets you up, gently keeps you company in the hold, and signals when the next shape is coming. DAILY RHYTHM • Set a daily reminder • Track your streak • Log your mood • Apple Watch companion for breathing on the wrist • Apple Health integration — every session counts as Mindful Minutes • Automatic Day / Night theme that follows the sun (or pick manually) NOOMA PREMIUM A one-time $1.99 unlock removes all ads — no banners, no interstitials, no app-open ads. That's it. No subscription, no recurring charge — yours for life. PRIVACY Your sessions, streak, and mood live only on your device. Nooma has no backend server and no user account. We don't sell your data and we don't track you between apps unless you specifically allow it for ad relevance. Designed for daily use. Built to feel like a teacher in your pocket — not another notification.
