Pranayam Pro

Pranayam Pro is a guided breathing app built around classical pranayama and modern breathwork. Choose a practice, set how long you want to sit, and follow the pace — the breath is led by a moving visual, soft tones, and short spoken cues, so you can close your eyes and stop counting.

THE PRACTICES

Classical pranayama, including:
- Anulom Vilom — left in, right out, and back again
- Nadi Shodhana — alternate nostril with retention
- Surya Bhedana — in through the right, for energy
- Chandra Bhedana — in through the left, for calm
- Ujjayi — the ocean breath
- Bhramari — a low hum on every exhale
- Sheetali — cooling breath, drawn over the tongue
- Kapalbhati — sharp exhales, passive inhales
- Bhastrika — forceful in both directions

Modern breathwork, including:
- Box Breathing — four equal sides, for composure
- 4-7-8 Breath — a long hold and a longer exhale, for sleep
- Coherent Breathing — five and five, for steadiness
- Belly Breathing — slow diaphragmatic breathing
- Physiological Sigh — the fastest way down from stress

You can also build your own pattern, setting each inhale, hold and exhale yourself.

MADE TO PRACTISE WITH, NOT LOOK AT

- Pick a session length, from a few minutes to half an hour, and the rounds are worked out for you
- Adjust the breath length to your own capacity; every practice scales with it
- Spoken cues in English and Hindi, kept to a word or two so they guide without distracting
- A rising tone as you breathe in, a falling one as you breathe out
- A gentle buzz on each turn of the breath, so you can practise with your eyes shut
- Every sound and voice can be switched off independently

PROGRESS WORTH KEEPING

Set a daily goal and watch the streak build. A calendar view shows what you have practised, and your saved practices sit at the top of the list.

QUIET BY DESIGN

A choice of photographic backgrounds, or use one of your own. The whole app is built to stay out of the way of the practice.

WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE

No account. No sign-in. No ads. No tracking or analytics of any kind. Every image, sound and voice recording is bundled inside the app, so it works on a flight, in a basement, or with the data switched off. Your practice history stays on your phone and is never sent anywhere.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Pranayam Pro is a wellbeing app, not a medical device, and does not give medical advice. Practise on an empty stomach. If you are pregnant, or have a heart, lung, blood-pressure or psychiatric condition, speak to a doctor before practising breath retention or rapid breathing.
