- Skip this practice if youare pregnant or have epilepsy. Check with your doctor first if you have a heart or lung condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, a history of fainting, or recent surgery. Not sure? Ask first, and choose something gentler in the meantime.

Most sessions are slow, gentle breathing. Sessions with fast breathing or long breath holds are marked, and show this safety note the first time you open one. You can stop any session at any time and breathe normally. The same information is in the app under You, Safety & resources.
