Breathing Timer and Custom Program Creator
This breathing timer is designed for anyone who wants to practice breath control, relaxation, or breathing techniques such as the
Buteyko K.P. method, Box Breathing, or other customized routines.
You can create your own breathing programs by adding different steps with custom inhale, hold, exhale durations, and total practice time for each step.
This flexibility allows you to build not only Buteyko practice routines but also various relaxation, stress reduction, or even sleep aid programs — tailored to your needs.
Example Buteyko K.P. Practice Progression
Below is a recommended progression table for the Buteyko breathing method. Each level specifies practice duration (in minutes) and breathing phases (in seconds).
Note: In Buteyko practice, there is typically no "hold after exhale". Set that value to 0 when programming.
| Level | Practice Time (min) | Inhale (sec) | Hold After Inhale (sec) | Exhale (sec) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (Easiest) | 0-3 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| 2 | 3-6 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 3 | 6-9 | 3 | 5 | 6 |
| 4 | 9-12 | 2 | 6 | 6 |
| 5 (Hardest) | 12-15 | 2 | 7 | 7 |
How to Use:
- Add as many program steps as you like with different breathing timings and durations.
- You can design routines for relaxation, meditation, sleep preparation, stress relief, or any other purpose.
- If practicing Buteyko, set "Hold After Exhale" to 0.
- Adjust the inhale, hold, and exhale values based on your practice level or personal preference.
- The program automatically moves through each step for the time you set, looping if needed.
Start gently and gradually increase the difficulty as your control and comfort improve.
