Take a breather (on company time)

Guided breathwork for a less stressed team, ten minutes at a time, from a recurring calendar invite.

Traditional meditation apps are broken.

You start with good intentions, then the app goes unopened. On your own, it is hard to stay consistent and accountable.

On your own

A meditation app

  • You download it and practise for a few days.
  • Work gets busy. You stop opening it.
  • Getting back into it is up to you.
With your team

Pauso

  • You put five minutes in the team calendar.
  • The invite comes around. Your teammates join you.
  • Open your session link and follow the breathwork together.

How to run a breathwork session with your team

Follow the audio and on-screen breathing guide together. No one on your team needs to lead the session.

01

Create your team’s session

Sign in and name it. It gets one link that you reuse every time.

02

Put it in a recurring invite

Reserve 10 minutes in the working day. Use the same link each time.

03

Everyone opens it at the same time

See who has joined, then follow the audio and breathing animation together.

Why bother with breathwork?

Three things a short practice does, at work, that you notice.

Calmer in minutes

Slow breathing with a long exhale settles the body down. You feel it during the session, not after a month.

Steadier attention

After a run of meetings, a few minutes of practice makes it easier to come back to one thing.

Less stress over the weeks

Done regularly, short sessions lower the stress people report at work.

Make breathwork part of the workday

Short sessions, shared with your team, on the calendar you already use.

Practise with your teammates

Join the same breathwork session at the same time. You have people to practise with each week.

What the research says

Trials of short breathing exercises and workplace meditation. Pauso itself has not been clinically tested.

Better mood

Five minutes a day, for a month

In a trial of 108 adults, five minutes of daily breathing exercise improved mood over one month. Exhale-focused breathing showed the strongest gains, ahead of mindfulness meditation.

Sharper focus

Slow breathing, over eight weeks

In a controlled trial of 40 adults, eight weeks of slow diaphragmatic breathing improved sustained attention and lowered cortisol, a stress hormone, compared with a control group.
