Anulom Vilom Timer | Custom Alternate Nostril Breathing App

A customizable timer for Anulom Vilom practice

Anulom Vilom, also called alternate nostril breathing, is easier to practice when each inhale, exhale, and nostril switch is timed clearly. Vayu gives you a structured Anulom Vilom timer so you can set your breathing pattern once and follow guided cues through the full session.

Time:

• Inhale through the left or right nostril
• Exhale through the opposite nostril
• Optional breath holds after inhale
• Optional breath holds after exhale
• Full alternate nostril breathing rounds
• Total session duration

Instead of manually counting seconds or remembering which side comes next, the timer guides your practice step by step.

Customize inhale, exhale, holds, and rounds

With Vayu, you can customize:

• Inhale length
• Exhale length
• Hold after inhale
• Hold after exhale
• Number of rounds
• Total practice time
• Starting nostril
• Breathing ratio

Start simple with equal inhale and exhale timing, or create a longer exhale pattern for a slower, calmer session.

Guided alternate nostril breathing cues

Vayu guides each phase of alternate nostril breathing:

• Inhale through one nostril
• Switch sides
• Exhale through the opposite nostril
• Inhale through that nostril
• Switch sides again
• Repeat the round

The timer keeps the sequence clear so you can focus on the breath instead of tracking the pattern manually.

Practice without counting in your head

Use Vayu when you want to:

• Practice Anulom Vilom at home
• Add alternate nostril breathing to a morning routine
• Use pranayama before meditation
• Slow your breathing before sleep
• Take a focused breathing break during the day
• Follow custom inhale and exhale timing without losing the rhythm

Common Anulom Vilom timing patterns

Vayu is not just a stopwatch. It is a breathing app for guided pranayama practice, including Anulom Vilom, alternate nostril breathing, box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, resonance breathing, Bhastrika, and Kapalbhati.

Use it when you need a custom breathing timer for:

• Anulom Vilom

• Custom inhale-exhale ratios
• Breath retention
• Longer exhale breathing

Use haptics and visuals to stay in rhythm

Vayu helps you follow your Anulom Vilom timer with clear visual and haptic cues. That means you do not need to stare at the screen throughout the session. This is useful for meditation, relaxation, focus, and pre-sleep breathing routines where you want the guidance to stay subtle.

Track your Anulom Vilom sessions over time

A timer helps you complete one session. Tracking helps you build a consistent practice. Vayu lets you keep track of:

• Completed breathing sessions
• Session length
• Practice streaks
• Breathing patterns used
• Heart rate and HRV changes
• Breathing history over time

Use your session history to see which timing patterns you return to most and how your body responds to different breathing exercises.
