About Al Fuentes

Al Fuentes is a breath master. For more than 20 years he has taught people to control their breath, and their state of mind.

His work began with a simple question: if the body can be trained, why not the way the brain responds under pressure? Al could not find a practical answer in talking about problems, so he built one around two things everyone already does every day, breathing and visualization. Since then he has taught athletes, business executives, actors, musicians, parents and children.

How Al teaches breathing

Your mind is always checking your body, and the breath is one of the first things it reads. Short, tight or held breathing tells the brain the body is under stress. A slow, controlled breath tells it the opposite. Al's approach is to make that control trainable: the right pace, the right ratio, and enough practice that it becomes your default.

Why he created Breath Interval

Most breathing apps give you a fixed pattern. Al wanted people to control it themselves. Breath Interval lets you set your own inhale, hold and exhale, so the practice fits your body, your goal and your day. Due to the combination of a fully customizable breathing system, a simple design that is easy to use, no account required and no data tracking, it is considered one of the best breathing apps on the market.
