New writing, in your inbox
One email when something new is published: an evidence-checked article, a new issue of Aṇūṭṭara, or a course opening. Free, no spam, and one click to leave.
Three kinds of email
New articles
Each new piece on Words of Yoga: research on breath and meditation, claim checks, and essays on the philosophy of yoga. Usually two or three a month.
Aṇūṭṭara issues
Our free magazine, when each issue comes out: one old text read closely, recent studies, an essay and practices to try that week.
Course and book news
Start dates for courses and new books, sent to the list first. You'll never get an email just to sell you something unrelated.
The latest articles
Can You Choose Which Nostril Is Open?
The Shiva Svarodaya does not only claim you can read which nostril is flowing. It claims you can change it. That is the part of the system I had never properly checked, and it is the part that mostly survives.
Does Slower Breathing Make Meditation Deeper?
The advice bundles two claims together. One of them is among the best-evidenced things in the field. The other has barely been tested, because nobody agrees how to measure it.
What Meditation Researchers Say When They Are Talking to Each Other
I spent two days listening to meditation researchers present to other researchers rather than to the public. The register is completely different, and the difference is itself the finding.
Before you sign up
How often will you email me?
Only when something is published, which is usually two to four times a month.
Why do I need to confirm?
After you sign up, Kit sends a short email with a confirmation link. That stops anyone from adding your address without asking you. If it hasn't arrived, check your spam or Promotions folder.
How do I leave?
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you're off the list.
What happens to my email address?
It's kept by Kit (kit.com), the service that sends our emails, and used only for this newsletter. It is never sold or shared. See the privacy notice.
Can I follow along without email?
Yes. Add the RSS feed to any feed reader, or follow us on Instagram.
