How Breathtaking works

Breathtaking figures out what your nervous system needs this week. All you do is show up.

AssessmentCheck in
Set plan lengthYour weekly plan

No choosing practices. No makeup days. Journaling stays private.

The Weekly Plan Description screen: around 30 minutes a day, the seven-day strip, the Plan Summary row, and three practices with their labels and minutes
  1. Day one

    A personality assessment, once

    Twenty-one questions about how you think, feel and react. It’s how Breathtaking gets to know you.

    What calms one person does nothing for another. Your answers show which practices will work for you.

    Three question cards from the assessment
  2. Day one

    Rate how you’re doing

    A one-minute baseline: rate your stress, emotional balance, energy, focus and motivation from 0 to 10. You’ll do this again at the start of every new week, when the last plan ends.

    That way your program fits the week you’re actually having, not one you had a month ago.

    The weekly check-in screen: sliders from 0 to 10 for stress, emotional imbalance, energy, focus and motivation
  3. Day one

    Say how long you have

    Anything from 5 to 60 minutes a day, and each day’s practices are sized to fit.

    When life gets busier, or quieter, change it and the program rebuilds itself. A daily reminder is there if you want one.

    The daily practice length screen: the length slider, and the optional reminder with its time
  4. Day one

    Your week is built, with the reasons

    Seven days, planned ahead. Every practice comes with a label that says what it’s for.

    The summary tells you what this week is working on and why it picked these practices for you. Nothing is random.

    There are 62 techniques to draw from, across breathwork, meditation, movement and journaling.

  5. Every morning

    Today’s practices are waiting

    Nothing to choose, nothing to prepare. Breathwork, meditation and movement are guided videos: press play and follow along.

    Journaling is one question at a time, and it stays private.

    Miss a day and nothing resets. You just pick it back up.

  6. Once a week

    Check in, and next week changes

    Say how the week went, and your next seven days are built from that.

    From the second week on, Breathtaking tells you what changed since last week and what it’s doing about it.

    Every check-in adds a point to your graph. A few weeks in, you can see which way you’re moving.
