TRAIN YOUR MIND LIKE A MARTIAL ARTIST Master the martial art of your mind. Like any martial art, it is built through practice, and the dojo is where you train. Tell Dojo how you feel and how much time you have. Sensei, your teacher in the app, puts together a session for right now: the practices, the narrator, the sounds and the length. Want it shorter or with less talking? Just say so, and the session changes right there. A TEACHER WHO ALREADY KNOWS YOU Sensei remembers your level, what you like and what helps, from your first session to your hundredth. Awake at 3 a.m., a big call in ten minutes, a slow start to the morning: each moment gets its own practice. SEE YOUR BODY SLIP INTO RECOVERY Meditate with Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3, WHOOP or Fitbit and Dojo shows your heart rate live. After the session you see how far your body settled, measured against your own resting heart rate: Recovery, Deep recovery or Elite recovery. Sensei uses what settled you to shape your next sessions. No wearable? Dojo works fine without one. A FREQUENCY FOR EVERY SESSION Each session layers a guiding voice with music, nature sounds and a binaural beat: 2 Hz for sleep, 10 Hz to unwind, 14 Hz for focus. Best with headphones. MAKE IT YOURS, THEN SHARE IT Build your own session step by step from breathwork, body scans, mantras and quiet time, then choose the music and sounds. Send any session to someone you love with a link. SMALL SESSIONS ADD UP Progress keeps your streaks, practice minutes and heart-rate records in one place, so you can watch the habit build. FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONERS Never meditated? Start with two minutes. Years of practice? Ask for thirty minutes, mostly silence. Heart-rate information is for your own reference. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose or treat any condition. SUBSCRIPTIONS The yearly plan may begin with a 7-day free trial for eligible users.
