Do it differently
What are Aria Breath “Music Videos”?
Your breath tells a story,
But a story might help change your breath…
“Music Videos” is a new and growing section inside of Aria Breath where we are experimenting with two entirely new forms of breathwork guidance!
This is truly like nothing else in the wide world of breathwork!
First off, we are using a form of interactive storytelling in which you are invited to breathe in time with the movement of animated characters on screen as they complete a quest or story!
And secondly… the music you are breathing in time with comes from an entirely new genre of music… one that we just invented… (Seriously!) More on that below!
Meet the heroes…
In each new video you will be encouraged to breathe with and help out an awesome character from the Aria universe!
For example:
Help Aro the monk to float above the land and restore it’s natural vitality with his aura on the wind of your breath!
Expand with Genie the pufferfish to help her traverse a dangerous ocean!
Float with Jose the flying heart to help him return to his family!
Plus… help skateboarders to catch air and meet clouds that want you to be their wind!
But that’s just the beginning…
Help friendly characters to explore beautiful worlds that keep you engaged as you begin your breathwork journey.
Music with meaning
Are you ready for something new?
Breath-wave? … Hum and bass? … Sigh-trance? … Diaphrambient? … Calm-core? …
We have no idea what to call it…
… but we are experimenting with an entirely new genre of music. One that we believe we are the first to create! … and you can be the first to enjoy!
Evolving beyond simple meditation music that rises and falls to guide breathing, these special tracks have been written so they can be listened to as songs in their own right – featuring beautiful vocals, lyrics, and melodies with pop sensibilities.
You’ll not only find tracks that you want to listen to again and again… You will discover relaxing and beautiful lyrics that align perfectly with your breathing rhythm and keep you inspired – laying out beautiful messages for your imagination and subconscious as you breathe!
Be the first to hear it!

The Benefits of practicing slower breathing…
As you practice breathing with the music in SlowFlow, and increase the CO2 levels in your body, you will unlock body-wide benefits during every session, including:
Improved Oxygenation: Despite the logical assumption that faster breathing should lead to more oxygen being delivered, in fact, slower breathing actually improves oxygen delivery to your cells due to a phenomenon called the "Bohr effect" (more on that later!).
Increased Blood Flow: Because CO2 in the bloodstream causes vasodilation, breathing slowly and keeping more CO2 on the inside, leads to optimal blood flow – delivering nutrients throughout your body.
Optimised Blood Pressure: Slow, diaphragmatic breathing leads to more finely tuned baroreceptors above the heart (the special sensors that measure your blood pressure) – improving the sensitivity of these receptors helps your body to support optimal blood pressure. This is especially true after you are comfortable to slow down to 8 breaths per minute and lower.
Enhanced Mental Clarity: The meditative aspect of syncing your breath with music can improve focus, mindfulness, and mental clarity, but this is further supported by increased blood flow and oxygenation in the brain caused by increased CO2.
Reduced anxiety: The deliberate slowing of your breath activates the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering a state of deep relaxation and a sense of well-being. This is especially apparent once you reach 6 breaths per minute!
Increased Resilience: By aligning your breathing with the calming influence of music and increasing CO2 tolerance, you may begin to notice lower anxiety levels and enhanced resilience to stress… but remember, the process itself may not feel relaxing to begin with!
