BREATHE WITH ARIA & GUS β€” A BREATHING GAME FOR KIDS Kids don't sit still for breathing exercises, so we built a game instead. Your child picks a buddy β€” calm with Aria, energy with Gus β€” and breathes along, learning to settle their own nervous system without ever being told to calm down. It's the same science as the rest of IMD, wrapped in play, and it's a skill they keep for life. Adults keep sneaking on to play it too. LEARNING TO BREATHE The five essential breaths you need in everyday life, made simple to follow. Each one comes with a visual you just breathe along with β€” follow the ball around the shape and it counts you through it: in two, three, four, hold, out two, three, four.
