Last updated: June 25, 2026

Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using Shvas ("श्वा", the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

About the service

Shvas is a breathwork and pranayama guidance app that offers breathing techniques, progress tracking, and educational content. The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use.

Your account

You must provide accurate information when registering and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. One account per person.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Shvas. If you are under 18, please use the Service with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

Important health disclaimer

Shvas is a wellness and educational tool. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional medical care.

Breathwork — especially advanced techniques involving breath retention (such as Kumbhaka or Murcha) or rapid breathing (such as Bhastrika or Kapalabhati) — can carry real risks. Do not attempt these techniques if you are pregnant, or have cardiovascular, respiratory, or blood-pressure conditions, anxiety or panic disorders, epilepsy, or any other medical concern without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional.

Always practise in a safe position (ideally seated, never in water or while driving). Stop immediately and return to normal breathing if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell. You are responsible for judging what is appropriate for your own body and circumstances.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Service, attempt to access data you are not authorised to view, interfere with its operation, or use it for any unlawful or harmful purpose.

Intellectual property

The Service, its content, and its design are owned by Shvas and our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the Service for your own practice. Content you create (such as logged moods) remains yours.

The service is provided "as is"

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and are not liable for any harm, loss, or injury resulting from your use of the Service or your practice of any technique it describes.

Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or if we otherwise decide to discontinue the Service.

Changes and contact

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms. For questions, contact us at support@shvas.app.
