The Breathing App

In my yoga teacher training, my meditation teacher introduced us to The Breathing App. It’s pretty wonderful. It helps facilitate ratio breathing and resonance breathing. While I love being able to use it as a meditation tool, I also immediately thought about its uses in the voice studio. Here are a few reasons I like it in the voice studio…

• Students are able to create and cultivate a deep breathing habit on their own or the beginning of each lesson

• It’s free! Yup, completely free!

• There are different cue screens to guide your breath management, a count down cue screen, a visual of a growing or shrinking ball (much like a Hoberman Sphere,) and a completely aural cue screen

• The interface is very simple, clean and easy to use

Looking for something to help with your meditation practice or help you learn to manage the length of your inhales or exhales?
