Hi friends,
I am a 37-year-old male and 2.5 yrs back I was working on a startup after leaving a well-settled plush job and lifestyle. I am married and have two kids. Well soon after I left the job I started realizing that my idea was not very concrete and had less potential of becoming a successful revenue generation business. This hit my self-confidence very hard. It's tough in itself to start at age of 35. TBH I can confidently say that I went through a mild depression during that phase and it was a tough decision to take a step back and close the venture.
The good part throughout all this was my family always supported me through this but I did not really feel good from the inside.
I got back job in the reputed global firm after few months of studies. But as I said above to outsiders everything was ok again but deep within me there was a void. It was at this point I started doing Yoga both Asana (Postures) and the Pranayama (Breathing Exercises). Within few weeks after bringing Yoga into my life I realized it helped me heal the inner wounds and I was recovering well and feeling really happy from inside. Surprisingly I had the vigor to start something new within a short span of time once again. I attribute all these to 40 odd mins of Yoga that I did daily.
After this experience, I decided that I will try to create something that can help spread the awareness of the amazing benefits of Yoga. My initial search showed that there are many apps that help with the Yoga asana part but not many which share detailed knowledge of Breathing techniques. Also, it is equally important that the knowledge is shared in an easy-to-understand way and not curtailed behind religions and cultures. With all these factors in mind, I created ASMI - YOUR BREATHING FRIEND. You can find it on Google Play Store and Apple App Store
TBH will all of you here I have created this app as a Side Project and continuing with my job. I hope this app brings a genuinely positive impact on its users' life. There could not be a more rewarding thing for me.
