FAQ
Is this yoga timer really free?+
Yes — 100% free, no signup, no ads. It runs entirely in your browser. The team behind it makes money on FLOW Yoga Sequence Builder Pro, but the timer stays free.
Does it keep running with the screen off?+
On most modern phones the browser pauses timers when the screen locks. Keep the tab in the foreground, or use the wake-lock toggle on supported devices.
Can I save my timer settings?+
Yes. Your last-used interval, rest time, and round count are saved in your browser. To save full sequences with pose-specific durations, use the FLOW builder.
What is the best yoga timer interval?+
30–60 seconds per pose for vinyasa, 60–90 seconds for hatha, and 3–5 minutes per pose for yin. For pranayama, try 4-7-8 or 4-4-4-4 box breathing.
