## Description
Take control of your stress, sleep, and focus with guided breathing exercises backed by science.
Breathe offers 19 proven breathing techniques — from simple beginner exercises to advanced methods used by Navy SEALs, Stanford researchers, and yogic practitioners. Each session guides you breath by breath with a calming visual circle, gentle audio cues on every phase change, and a real-time timer so you always know exactly what to do.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY BREATHING EXERCISES?
Clinical research shows that controlled breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol, reduces blood pressure, and improves heart rate variability. Just a few minutes a day can make a measurable difference in how you feel.
