How Kalyra programs it
Trains the breathing side of recovery — Kalyra programs breathwork because recovery quality drives progression, not just effort.
Typically 1–3 sets of 60s, with the hold length scaled to the session.
Easier · Harder · Substitutions

No harder progression on file.
Written cues and setup checks remain the instruction alongside available exercise animations.
