# Breathwork Schema

> An open source JSON schema for defining breathwork exercises in a standardized format. This community initiative aims to create interoperability between apps, preserve traditional techniques, and make breathing practices more accessible.

The Breathwork Schema provides a universal format for sharing breathwork exercises across platforms. It includes comprehensive validation, timing specifications, categorization, and metadata support. The schema is designed to work with any programming language and platform, making it easy for developers to build breathwork applications that can share data seamlessly.

This is a community-driven project seeking input from practitioners, developers, and the broader wellness community to finalize the first official release.
