## What is Turiya?

Turiya is a yoga nidra studio built around a single moment: the threshold between waking and sleep.

That edge is where the mind is most open to a seed. Traditional practice calls the seed a sankalpa. Turiya's whole job is to find the moment, and plant it there.

SIX LINEAGES
Satyananda 8-Stage, the standard. 61-Point Shavayatra from the Himalayan tradition. Five Koshas, a sheath-by-sheath descent. VBT, the breath-turn of Kashmir Shaivism. NSDR for a quick reset. And a Clear-Light Primer drawn from Tibetan sleep yoga. Each is a complete guided script, not a variation on a timer.

IT WATCHES FOR THE CROSSING
With your permission, Turiya reads your heart rate variability and resting heart rate from Apple Health. It establishes a baseline, watches for the sustained settling that marks the descent, and cues your sankalpa at that moment — rather than on a schedule.

THE TROUGH IS THE MECHANISM
Length is not padding. Every session is solved for a real shape, with one long silence at the deepest point. That silence is where the crossing happens, and a short session has no room for it.

SPEAK WHAT YOU SAW
At the crossing, Turiya asks what you are seeing and you answer out loud, eyes closed. Hypnagogic imagery evaporates the moment you open your eyes and start typing. The recording is kept because it is the real record, and it is transcribed entirely on your device.

ON APPLE WATCH
The wrist app paces your breath through haptics, reads your heart once per second inside a workout session, and taps you three times at the crossing while your phone runs the nidra. Three practices: Resonance Breath, Cyclic Sigh, and Threshold Watch.

SOUND
Binaural beating, pink noise, and solfeggio tones, generated live rather than looped. Headphones recommended.

PRIVACY
Turiya has no servers and makes no network requests. No account, no analytics, no third-party code of any kind. Your practice log, your recordings, and your health readings never leave your device.

Turiya is a relaxation and meditation practice. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
