Are breathwork apps safe for everyone?

Gentle breathing exercises are common wellness tools, but intense breathwork is not for every body. Users with medical concerns should ask a clinician.

What is the easiest breathwork format to start with?

Simple paced breathing, box breathing, or extended exhale breathing is easier for most beginners than intense activation sessions.
