## What is Wim Hof Breathing?

Wim Hof-style breathing commonly involves:
1. 30-40 deep breaths
2. Breath hold on empty lungs (1-3 minutes)
3. Recovery breath (15 seconds)
4. Repeat 3-4 rounds

People use this style of guided breathwork for meditation, focus, and structured breathing practice. Individual experiences vary, and the app does not make medical outcome guarantees.

## Safety and scope

Deep Breathe is a guidance and timing tool, not a medical device or healthcare service. Breath-hold exercises should be practised seated or lying down in a safe place, never in water or while driving. People who are pregnant or have a medical condition should ask a qualified clinician whether this type of breathwork is appropriate for them.
