SIX PRANAYAMAS Box Breathing, Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril), Kapalabhati (breath of fire), Bhramari, Ujjayi, Sitali — each with precise phase timing and a calm ambient bed underneath. SIX MEDITATIONS Zen, Vipassana, Peaceful, Energy Rising, Buddha Inside, Sleep & Balance — each with its own ambient soundscape.
