Pausa

Pausa is a digital wellbeing brand focused on making practical breathing exercises accessible to people experiencing stress and anxiety. Its mobile app, available for iOS and Android, offers guided sessions, personalized techniques, reminders, progress statistics, habit streaks, and a 10-day program. Exercises include box breathing, the 4-7-8 method, resonant breathing, and the physiological sigh, with recommendations for concerns such as anxiety, stress, sleep, and energy.

The app also features an SOS mode for intense distress and a screen-time tool that encourages users to pause before opening distracting apps. Pausa provides a free stress and anxiety quiz, educational videos, and articles about conscious breathing and mental wellbeing. For businesses, it offers team wellbeing solutions, administrative tools, events, and resources to help employees manage stress together.

Created after its founders experienced panic attacks, Pausa emphasizes simple breathing practices for people who may not meditate. The brand is operated by Pausa Technologies LLC and says it was made in Mexico
