In short: these free yoga tools run right in your browser: a breathing pacer, a meditation timer with soft bells, an Ashtanga moon-day calendar, a quiz that suggests a yoga style for you, and a retreat budget planner. There is nothing to sign up for or install, and nothing you type leaves your device.
Yoga Style Finder: Which Yoga Is Right for Me?
Which yoga is right for you? Answer seven quick questions and get ranked suggestions among twelve styles, each with a reason and a link to the full guide.
Breathing Pacer: a Free Guided Breathing Tool
A free breathing pacer with an animated circle and text cues: box breathing, extended exhale, coherent breathing at 5.5 breaths a minute, 4-7-8 or custom counts.
Meditation Timer with Gentle Bells
A free meditation timer with large countdown, soft bells at the start, end and chosen intervals, and a screen that stays awake while you sit.
Ashtanga Moon Days Calendar
Ashtanga moon days for the next 12 months in your time zone: the next new or full moon, a month grid and a full list, from exact astronomical times.
Yoga Retreat Budget Planner
Plan the full cost of a yoga retreat: retreat price, flights, transfers, insurance, extras and tips, with total, cost per night and a breakdown.
We built these tools to make a few everyday parts of practice a little easier: keeping an even rhythm when you breathe, sitting for a set time without watching the clock, knowing when the next moon day falls, choosing a class to try, and working out what a retreat will really cost. Each tool has its own page that explains how to use it, what it is based on and when to be careful.
Tools for your practice
Breathing pacer
The breathing pacer is a circle that grows as you breathe in and shrinks as you breathe out, with written cues and a countdown. Choose box breathing, a longer exhale, slow “coherent” breathing at about five and a half breaths a minute, 4-7-8 breathing, or your own counts. A text-only mode replaces the animation if motion bothers you. To learn the techniques first, start with our guides to yoga breathing, box breathing and diaphragmatic breathing.
Meditation timer
The meditation timer counts down in large, easy-to-read numbers and rings a gentle bell at the start, at intervals you choose and at the end. The bell is made by your browser, so there are no sound files to load. Pair it with our guides on how to meditate and mindfulness meditation.
Ashtanga moon days
The moon-day calendar lists every new and full moon for the next 12 months in your own time zone, with the next one shown at the top. Many Ashtanga students take these days off from practice, a custom that comes from the Mysore school of K. Pattabhi Jois.
Tools for choosing and planning
Yoga style finder
Not sure where to begin? The yoga style finder asks seven short questions about pace, intensity, heat, what you want from practice and anything your body needs to work around, then suggests styles to try, from hatha and yin to vinyasa and aerial yoga. Each suggestion comes with a one-line reason and a link to the full guide.
Retreat budget planner
The retreat budget planner adds up the retreat itself, flights, transfers, insurance, extras and tips, and shows the total, the real cost per night and a simple breakdown. Use it alongside our guides to yoga retreat costs and how to choose a yoga retreat.

How these tools handle your data
Every calculation happens in your browser. The tools do not set cookies, do not store your answers and do not send what you type anywhere. Close the page and it is gone.
These tools are for general information and personal practice, not medical advice. If you are pregnant or have a health condition, check with your doctor before starting breathing exercises or a new style of yoga.
Frequently asked questions
Are these yoga tools really free?
Yes. All of them are free to use with no account, no download and no sign-up. They run in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Do the tools save or share my information?
No. The calculations happen on your own device. The tools set no cookies, store nothing and send nothing you type to us or anyone else.
Do the tools work offline?
Once the page has loaded, each tool keeps working even if your connection drops, because everything runs in the page. Reloading the page needs a connection.
Can I use the breathing pacer if I have a health condition?
Choose the patterns without breath holds, breathe gently and check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a heart, blood pressure or lung condition, or a history of panic attacks. The tool is not a medical device.
