Haptic guidance on Apple Watch and Wear OS. Your first session is free.
Available now as a primary tab in the Vayu app, this feature represents our commitment to making mindfulness accessible to everyone – no subscription required.
Two Meditation Styles to Suit Your Practice
Whether you're new to meditation or have an established practice, we've crafted two distinct meditation styles to meet you where you are:
Body Journey
A progressive relaxation technique that guides your awareness through your entire body. Perfect for releasing tension, preparing for sleep, or reconnecting with physical sensations after a long day.
Present Moment
A mindful breathing practice focused on anchoring your attention in the here and now. Ideal for managing stress, improving focus, or starting your day with intention.
Your Meditation, Your Way
We believe meditation should adapt to your life – not the other way around. That's why we've built in meaningful customization options:
- Duration: Choose 5, 10, or 20 minutes to fit any schedule
- Voice: Select your preferred narrator – male or female
- Background Music: Enhance your practice with Deep Music, Deep Theta, or meditate in silence
With 12 unique combinations available, you can discover the perfect meditation experience for any moment.
Designed for Real Life
We've built this feature with your actual meditation practice in mind:
Works Offline
All meditation audio is stored locally on your device. Whether you're on an airplane, in a park with no signal, or simply want to disconnect, your meditation practice is always available.
Beautiful Visual Feedback
An animated breathing orb with a soft cyan glow provides gentle visual guidance throughout your session. Simply tap to begin, and tap again when you're ready to finish.
Progress Tracking
A visual progress ring and elapsed time display help you stay oriented during your practice without pulling you out of the meditative state.
Seamless Audio Integration
Our meditation audio is designed to coexist with your device – it won't interrupt other audio sources and integrates naturally with your phone's audio system.
Widget Support
Jump directly into meditation from your home screen with deep link support. One tap and you're on your way to mindfulness.
Why We Made Meditation Free
At Vayu, we believe that the benefits of meditation shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. Stress, anxiety, and the need for mental clarity don't discriminate – and neither should access to tools that help.
By offering Vipassana Meditation as a free core feature, we're lowering the barrier to mindfulness for everyone. Whether you're exploring meditation for the first time or looking for a reliable daily practice companion, Vayu is here for you.
Our premium features – including personalized journaling, detailed analytics, and AI-powered coaching – remain available for subscribers who want to deepen their breathwork and mindfulness journey. But we wanted to ensure that everyone has access to quality guided meditation.
Start Your Practice Today
Vipassana Meditation is available now in the Vayu app. Open the app, navigate to the Meditation tab, and begin your journey toward greater calm and clarity.
Whether you have 5 minutes between meetings or 20 minutes to start your morning, your meditation practice is waiting.
Download Vayu and discover the power of guided meditation – completely free.

You Know You're Stressed. So Does Your Watch. Now What?
