Breathe Balloon
Breathe out. Let the balloon fly.
Seven breathing exercises with a hand-painted hot-air balloon – for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Your exercise. Your rhythm.
Breathe Balloon guides you through your breathing exercise with a colourful hot-air balloon. The balloon grows as you breathe in, rests while you hold and shrinks as you breathe out – so you always see what comes next.
Seven exercises
- Box breathing (4–4–4–4)
- 4-7-8 breathing
- Coherent breathing (5–0–5–0)
- Slow breathing (4–0–8–0)
- Extended exhale (4–4–8–4)
- Resonance breathing at 4.5 to 6.5 breaths per minute
- Custom breathing: set breathing in, holding and breathing out yourself, up to 20 seconds per phase in tenths of a second
