Usually, a yoga teacher uses different breathing techniques while practicing yoga. Universal Breath is designed to replace the teacher who counts aloud and marks the moments of breaths, delays and exhalations. Now you can turn on the app after your personal practice and it will count for you. The app uses traditional breathing patterns from Universal Yoga.

⚠️ Remember that consistency is key when it comes to reaping the benefits of breathing exercises. Regular practice, integrated into a daily routine, can have a significant positive impact on both physical and mental well-being. It's also advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.

Benefits of breathing

  • Stress Reduction and Relaxation

    Breathing exercises help activate the body's relaxation response, which counters the stress-induced "fight or flight" response. Deep, controlled breathing slows down the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This can lead to a profound sense of relaxation and calm.

  • Enhanced Mind-Body Connection

    Breathing exercises foster a deeper connection between the mind and body. By paying close attention to the breath, individuals become more aware of bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions. This increased awareness can lead to a greater sense of self-control and mindfulness, allowing for better management of emotions and reactions.

  • Improved Lung Function

    Engaging in regular breathing exercises helps to improve lung capacity and function. Deep breathing techniques promote the efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  • Improved Physical Performance:

    Athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities can benefit from specific breathing techniques. Controlled breathing can optimize oxygen utilization during exercise, delay the onset of fatigue, and enhance endurance. Techniques like rhythmic breathing or breath-holding exercises can be particularly helpful for athletes.

  • Enhanced Focus and Concentration

    Controlled breathing exercises can improve concentration and mental clarity. They help regulate the flow of oxygen to the brain, which is crucial for cognitive function. By supplying the brain with an optimal amount of oxygen, breathing exercises can enhance focus, memory, and problem-solving abilities.

  • Balancing Energy Levels

    Pranayama is believed to balance the flow of vital life force energy, known as "prana," within the body. This balanced energy flow is thought to promote overall well-being and vitality. By regulating the breath, practitioners aim to harmonize the body's energy systems.

Artem Khabeev
Founder & Universal Yoga adept RYT 300
Yoga teachers usually give pranayama, a breathing technique for 5-10 minutes, at the end of the practice. I was surprised that there are a lot of apps with breathing techniques, but none of them count out loud, as yoga teachers in good yoga studios do. So, gradually, I started to put my idea into an app. There are a huge number of breathing patterns that I and my team continue to add to new editions of The Universal Breath App. Enjoy!
