Screen during training

Control your screen during your practice time. There are 3 choices:

  • Default: the app doesn't interfere with your device's setting - if your screen dims in 10 sec idle, it will be the same while you are practicing;
  • Keep on all training: screen won't dim or turn off while you do your breathing exercises. It's very useful if you are new to this, so you don't get frustrated fighting with the screen dimming;
  • Turn off immediately: after you start the breathing session, screen will turn off. It's a good choice if you don't need to look at the training chart and are ok with guiding with sounds.
  1. Press on "Screen during training" item.
  2. Choose the screen behaviour you prefer.

Training duration

  • You can set the training duration either in time units (minutes and seconds) or in amount of cycles (their exact quantity). First is a good idea if you have just some certain time for your practice, for instance, no more than 10 minutesб the second — for ones who need the training with the certain cycle quantity.
  1. Press on "Training duration" item.
  2. Choose either "in amount of cycles" or "in time units".
  • Note that if you've chosen "in amount of cycles", the spinner for "Total training duration" lets you to pick the quantity of cycles.

Breath methods

  • There are two ways you can perceive breath methods - either as in the mirror reflection, or as you see another person in front of you. So you may pick what is more comfortable for you.
  1. Press on "Breath methods" item.
  2. Choose either "As it is" or "As in a mirror".

Training chart

  • There is a default training chart type called "Ring". Changing this chart type is available for Guru version users only.
  1. Press on "Training chart" item.
  2. Pick the chart you'd like.
  3. Go back to Training tab or Control tab and see the new chart there.

Please see these screenshots for the visual guidance and take a look at "Line" and "Planets" charts. By the way, the last one looks best with Black or Dark theme:

Chart colors

  1. Press on a phase which color you'd like to change. In our case, "Retain".
  2. Choose the color that you'd like. You can also play with the slider bar for choosing the right hue. We go with berry-ish color as for example.
  3. Once you are satisfied, press "OK".
  4. Also you can change the color of the "training progress bar" (inner circle in our case) - we go with silver instead of gold.
  • Note that the breath methods visual indicators have the same background color as the corresponding phase.
  • If you feel messed up with the colors, you can always reset those settings.

  • Set the components of your notification area in Prana Breath, using the following options:
  1. Turn on "With time" switch (it's green when switched on), and you'll be able to see how much time and how many cycles left till the end of your training. It's 14:02 min and 15 cycles in our example.
  2. Turn on "With progress bar" switch (it's also green when switched on), and you'll be able to see the declining progress bar for the current phase. It shows "Exhale | 28" in our case.
