Tummo
Inner fire. Three progressive rounds - 30 fast breaths, an empty-lung retention, then a held inhale. Heat, clarity, nervous-system activation.
You’ve been breathing your whole life. Nobody ever taught you how.
Techniques that shift your body’s state in 2 to 7 minutes. Not a wellness app.
iPhone only · Free
Arnasa means “breath” in Basque. Add the suffix article, and you get arnasea: “the breath.”
Basque is one of the oldest living languages in Europe. Isolated, with no known relatives, spoken long before writing existed. It survived everything.
So did breathing.
Before meditation apps, before subscriptions and gamification - there was conscious breathing. Tibetan Tummo, cardiac coherence, military box breathing. Centuries-old tools with documented physiological effects.
Arnasea doesn’t reinvent them. It puts them in your hands, cleanly, without noise.
A tool for those who want the effect - calming the nervous system, sleeping, focusing, generating internal heat - without an app congratulating them for breathing.
Not content to consume. Tools to use - each for a precise effect on body and mind.
Inner fire. Three progressive rounds - 30 fast breaths, an empty-lung retention, then a held inhale. Heat, clarity, nervous-system activation.
Six breaths per minute. Heart-rate variability syncs, cortisol drops, calm settles in.
Four equal beats. Used by Navy SEALs before action. Clarity in two minutes, no prerequisites.
Inhale 4 s, hold 7 s, exhale 8 s. Dr. Andrew Weil’s method. The vagus nerve activates, sleep settles in.
No welcome pop-up. No eight-step onboarding. You choose, you breathe, you’re done.
Free is enough for most practices. Pro is for daily practitioners.
Billing handled by Apple. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings. No card required for Free.
An ancient Tibetan technique: 30 rapid breaths, an empty-lung retention, then a held inhale. Arnasea presents it as a physiological tool, not a religious one. Expect warmth, clarity, and nervous-system activation. Contraindicated during pregnancy and for heart conditions; never practice in water or while driving.
A breathing technique that synchronizes heart rhythm with the autonomic nervous system. Breathing at six cycles per minute regulates heart-rate variability, lowers cortisol, and brings calm. Validated in cardiology and clinical psychology.
Cardiac coherence, box breathing and 4-7-8 carry no known risk. Tummo is contraindicated during pregnancy and for heart or respiratory conditions, and must never be practiced in water or while driving. A warning appears before every Tummo session.
Yes. Arnasea is an evolving toolkit. Pranayama techniques (kapalabhati, nadi shodhana, ujjayi, bhastrika) will be added progressively - chosen for their real physiological effect, not to inflate a catalog.
Yes. From iOS Settings → Subscriptions. One tap, no conversation required.
Not yet. iOS first. Android is on the roadmap for 2026.
No. History is stored locally on your iPhone. Nothing leaves the device without explicit action. No account, no email required.
Arnasa means breath in Basque. With the article attached, arnasea becomes “the breath.” Breathing is ancestral - so is the word.
Four techniques, four articles. Physiology, protocol, contraindications. No wellness fluff.
