New Activity type - meditating

Hey it would be nice to be able to have a proper activity-category for meditating. I'm using a connect-IQ-App to record my meditation sessions but they are forced to be logged as "others".
Best wishes kb

Also second this. Breathwork and Yoga activities are not meditation. Would prefer to use a Garmin stock activity as opposed to the Meditate app on the Connect IQ store. Thanks.

The worst is I have to use "Breathwork" and it is limited to 15 minutes! We need a proper meditation activity with stress, body battery, heart rate, and respiration counts all tracked and it go as long…

Also surprise to find out my 945 LTE doesn't have this category, you have to buy/subscribe to a new app. like this one for example apps.garmin.com/.../930e552d-dc44-40db-88ec-4e885a4fef76

Teaming up with headspace would be awesome

Please add Meditation as an activity. HeiaHeia has it, but I'm forced to use Garmin Import and then change the type in HH.
Would be nice if it would also track O2 and breaths...

4 years later and this still hasn't happened. Given the expansive list of activities, including a lot of pretty odd ones, is this really that difficult?

I agree.

I use the Yoga activity on my Vivoactive 4, and don't select any Set/Name/Pose. It gives me better data than the Breathwork activity, which isn't saying much.

I can't understand why Garmin has not added a meditation Set/Name/Pose to the list. What could possibly be that hard to code?

Maybe one of the defined Set/Name/Pose does the job, I don't know and have not taken the time to look into each and every one of them to see what's available.

I just installed the meditate IQ app, which seems to be good. It captures HRV as well. Seems nice.
