Kaivalya is a yamas and niyamas app for serious practitioners: a guided ascent through Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga, built by integrating the ten ethical foundations one principle at a time. It is not a journal and not a habit tracker. It is a path you actually walk.
The yoga philosophy app that starts where the mat ends
Most yoga apps stop at postures. Kaivalya begins with the yamas and niyamas, the ethical heart of yoga and the first two of the eight limbs of yoga described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. You move through ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya and aparigraha, then saucha, santosha, tapas, svadhyaya and ishvara pranidhana, and the higher limbs open above them as your horizon.
Integration, not a checkbox
Each principle becomes a stage with four beats: a clear teaching, one real daily application, an honest evening reflection, and integration that is earned, never automatic. Progress here is depth, not a streak. A missed day is part of the practice, never a punishment.
Read your whole self at a glance
Your practice lives in one luminous figure, a mandala called the Yantra. Every principle is a part of it, and the figure fills and rounds toward whole as you integrate. The centre, your self, lights fully only when the whole figure is complete. The Mirror reads where you stand today and shows the gap left to walk.
