How do I exit a Breathwork session?
You can leave a Breathwork session at any time using the exit control during the session.
Your practice is paused as soon as you exit, so leaving early costs you nothing.
How to leave
While the session is running, look for the exit control on the session screen.
Tap it to leave. You do not have to wait for the breathing pattern to finish.
You return to the Breath tab, where you can start another session whenever you want.
Leaving is a normal thing to do
There is no penalty for exiting and nothing is marked as failed.
If a breathing pattern feels unpleasant, too fast or simply not right for today, the correct move is to leave rather than push through. You can come back to the same session later, or drop to a lower level.
Results are individual and vary from person to person, and that includes how long a session feels comfortable.
In a live group session
A live group session works the same way: the exit control is there and you can leave at any point.
Nobody is notified and nobody sees you go, the participant counter simply shows one fewer person.
If you cannot exit
Make sure you are tapping on the session screen itself, not on a lock screen or a notification.
If the screen does not respond at all, close the app fully and open it again. Nothing is lost by doing that mid-session.
Check that you are on the latest version of Ombient from the App Store or Google Play.
If a session keeps you stuck on the screen, write to us from Contact Us in your Profile or at [email protected] and tell us the level and your device, so we can reproduce it.
