The opposite is true. Your body needs CO2 to release oxygen from your blood — and when you learn to breathe less, in rhythm, to music, something remarkable happens.\nSOMA Breath was selected for peer-reviewed research at Cambridge University — the largest breathwork study ever conducted. Participants reached altered states of consciousness through breathing alone. No substances. Just breathing in beats.\nAnd here’s the honest bit: most breathwork apps are boring. Counting breaths in silence is a chore, and chores don’t change lives. So we built breathwork around music — transmissional tracks engineered with brainwave entrainment that make your daily practice something you actually crave.\nBREATHE IN BEATS\nEvery session syncs your breath to music designed to guide you through a complete arc: activation, peak, integration, afterglow. Bliss without crash. Energy without burnout. Intensity that stabilises into peace.\nTHE VIBE SELECTOR\nTell it how you want to feel and how long you’ve got. It builds your entire practice. Energy, calm, focus, sleep, release — no scrolling, no decision fatigue.\nTHE BREATH PHARMACY\nYour body has its own inner pharmacy. SOMA Breath is the key. Precision breathing techniques matched to specific outcomes — wired at 2am, foggy before a meeting, flat before a workout. There’s a breath for that.\nGLOBAL COHERENCE & THE BREATHE ROOM\nRight now, someone in Bali, Berlin, and Boston are breathing at exactly the same pace. Join them. Practise live with people in 50+ countries — same rhythm, same music, same moment. It feels like belonging. Because it is.\nIHT TRACKER\nThink of it like intermittent fasting — but for oxygen. Controlled breath holds train your body to use oxygen more efficiently. Track your dose, watch your adaptation build week by week. This is training, not just relaxing.\nMBHT — YOUR BREATH FITNESS SCORE\nOne honest number that tracks your transformation. No wearables needed — just you and a timer. Watch it climb.\nDAILY PRACTICE BUILDER\nYour complete morning ritual — movement, breathwork, integration — assembled in seconds. Fifteen minutes or a full hour. Peak in the session. Peace in your day.\nHRV READINESS (optional)\nRead your nervous system’s scoreboard and match the right practice to the right moment. Pair an optional pulse oximeter for deeper session insight — entirely optional, the breath works either way.\nTHE TRIBE\n4,000+ certified instructors. 50+ countries. Live events, real teachers, a global community breathing together daily. This isn’t an app with users. It’s a movement with a soundtrack.\n500+ hours of sessions. New tracks every two weeks. Every SOMA Breath technique, in your pocket.\nFounded by Niraj Naik — a former pharmacist who healed himself when medicine had nothing left to offer, then spent a decade turning what he learned into a system anyone can use.\nGetting high was never the problem. The question is: can you rise without wrecking yourself?\nDownload SOMA Breath and find out.\nSOMA Breath supports wellbeing and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.\nPrivacy Policy: https://www.somabreath.com/privacy-policy/ · Terms & Conditions: https://www.somabreath.com/terms/\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE (iOS – App Store):\nAn auto-renewing subscription is available as an In-App Purchase.
