Pranayama Timer

Nadi Shodhana — alternate-nostril breathing — paced at a 4-4-6 ratio: a four-second inhale, a four-second hold, and a six-second exhale, alternating sides through eight full cycles. A 30-second settle opens the session and a 30-second rest closes it, for 4:44 in total.

The extended exhale is what makes this calming rather than energizing, and a gong on every phase change means you can keep your eyes closed and simply follow the sound. If the four-second counts feel rushed or slow, open the preset in the editor and reset the ratio to your own comfortable breath.

Frequently Asked Questions

What breathing ratio does this use?
4-4-6 — a four-second inhale, a four-second hold, and a six-second exhale. The longer exhale tilts the practice toward relaxation. You can change any of the three in the editor.
How does it handle alternate nostrils?
Each cycle names the sides: inhale left, hold, exhale right, then inhale right, hold, exhale left. Use your thumb and ring finger to close one nostril at a time, following the interval names.
How long is the full session?
4:44 — eight complete alternate-nostril cycles, with a half-minute to settle at the start and a half-minute of rest at the end. Add rounds in the editor for a longer sit.
