Svara Yoga: Nadi & Breath

Svara Yoga brings the ancient science of Shiva Svarodaya to your pocket — the yogic study of the breath as a mirror of cosmic rhythm.

Throughout the day your breath naturally favours one nostril, then the other. This subtle alternation, known as svara, is said to influence which activities will flourish and which will struggle. Svara Yoga calculates this rhythm for you, moment by moment, anchored to the real sunrise at your exact location.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE

• Active Nadi — Know in real time whether Ida (the cooling, lunar, left breath), Pingala (the warming, solar, right breath), or Sushumna (the rare central channel) is flowing, and a countdown to the next change.

• Five Tattvas — Each breath also carries one of five elements: Prithvi (earth), Apas (water), Tejas (fire), Vayu (air), and Akasha (ether). Track which element rules the moment and what it favours.

• Tattwa Timeline — See the current element and the next several transitions ahead, each with its exact clock time. Tap any element for a short description.

• Precise Sunrise & Sunset — The whole rhythm is anchored to astronomical sunrise and sunset, calculated from your GPS location (or a city you set manually).

• Lunar Guide — Explore each tithi of the lunar month, its dominant nadi, and the practices traditionally favoured or avoided on that day.

• Gentle Notifications — Optional alerts when the nadi or tattva changes, so you can stay aware without watching the screen.

FOR WHOM

Whether you are a long-time practitioner of swara yoga, a student of tantra and pranayama, or simply curious about aligning your day with natural rhythm, Svara Yoga offers a clear, beautiful, and accurate companion.

ROOTED IN TRADITION

The calculations follow the Shiva Svarodaya, an ancient Sanskrit text of 395 verses on the science of the breath. The app paraphrases its teachings in plain language; for the complete original text we point you to the published translation by the Bihar School of Yoga.

A NOTE ON PRACTICE

The tradition reminds us that calculation is only a guide — the true authority is your own breath. Use the app as a map, then verify by observing which nostril flows.

Svara Yoga respects your privacy: your location is used only to compute sunrise on your device and is never shared.

This app is for spiritual study and personal practice. It is not medical advice.
