Disclaimer

Satvik.fyi exists to share the wisdom of the Indian traditions, ayurveda, yoga, pranayama, mantra and philosophy, in a careful, well-sourced way. Everything here is educational information about traditional systems, presented with their sources. It is not, and must not be used as, a substitute for professional advice.

Advanced practices

Some practices the traditions themselves gatekeep, advanced pranayama (kumbhaka and related breath retention), certain tantric material, and extended meditation retreats. Where this site describes them, it does so descriptively with content warnings, and points to learning them under qualified teachers rather than attempting them from a web page.

Sources and interpretation

Citations mark what a tradition actually says, in contrast with modern interpretation. Errors of translation or attribution can still occur; if you spot one, please write in and it will be corrected on the page.

No relationship

Use of this site does not create any practitioner–client, doctor–patient or teacher–student relationship with anyone involved in building it. If any content here conflicts with guidance from your own qualified practitioner or physician, follow your practitioner.
