Svasa: Breathing Exercises

Breathing exercises for anxiety, sleep, and stress relief. Svasa guides you through Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Sleep, Equal Breathing, and Custom rhythms — a calm, guided breathing app for nervous system regulation. No streaks. No badges. No guilt-trip notifications. Just a quiet screen, a soft rhythm, and the breath your body already knows how to take. ────────────────────── WHAT'S INSIDE ▸ Box Breathing (4·4·4·4) The classic deep breathing technique used by Navy SEALs, surgeons, and elite athletes for high-pressure focus. Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4 — synchronizes your autonomic nervous system to restore clarity and a sense of control within minutes. ▸ 4-7-8 Sleep Breathing Dr. Andrew Weil's signature relaxation technique for insomnia and bedtime anxiety. The long exhale activates the vagus nerve and your parasympathetic ("rest and digest") response, easing the mind into sleep in as few as four cycles. ▸ Equal Breathing (Sama Vritti) The yogic balanced-breath pranayama practice — simple, steady, endlessly repeatable. Ideal for meditation, work focus, study sessions, or any moment that needs a quiet, grounded presence. ▸ Custom Rhythm Design your own breathing pattern. Adjust inhale, hold, exhale, and empty-hold durations to find the cadence your body needs today. Save your favourite rhythms as named presets. ────────────────────── WHY BREATHWORK?
