Terms & Conditions.

By using this site you agree to what follows, together with the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy. If you do not agree, please leave the site.

⚠ THE SECTION HEADED "WHAT THIS WORK IS, AND WHAT IT IS NOT" IS THE IMPORTANT ONE. Please read it even if you read nothing else here.

Her, the practice. SVã flo, the practice of Angira Chakravorty Dasgupta, operating from 21/E Deodar Street, Ballygunge, Kolkata 700019. SVã flo is a trading name rather than a separate registered company, so your agreement is with Angira herself.

You. Anyone reading this site, writing to the practice, or taking part in a session – whether you arranged it yourself or your employer or school arranged it for you.

SVã flo is a Somatic Soul Integrated System. The work is with the body, the breath, sound and attention, and its purpose is to help you notice and regulate your own state.

It is not medical or psychiatric treatment, and it is not psychotherapy. Angira is not a doctor and does not present herself as one. Nothing said in a session, on this site, or in any material from the practice is a diagnosis, a prescription, or medical advice.

It does not replace care you are already receiving. If you are under the care of a doctor, a psychiatrist or a therapist, this work sits alongside that care. Do not stop treatment, change a dose, or come off medication because of anything encountered here. Those are decisions for the clinician treating you.

Tell her what is going on. If you are pregnant, recovering from surgery or injury, living with a heart, respiratory, neurological or psychiatric condition, or taking medication that affects your breathing, blood pressure or balance, say so before a session. Some practices will be adapted and some will be left out. She can only work around what she has been told about.

Breathwork and sound work are physically active. They can bring on light-headedness, tingling, strong emotion, or the surfacing of difficult memory. That is a known part of the territory rather than a sign something has gone wrong, but it means you take part at your own discretion and you stop when you want to. You may stop, sit out, or leave at any point, and you never have to explain why.

If you are in crisis, this is not the right door. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, or you are in immediate danger, contact a doctor, a crisis helpline or emergency services. Angira is not an emergency service and cannot respond at that speed.

Nothing here is a promise of a result. The site describes what other people have experienced and what the work is intended to do. Nobody’s outcome is guaranteed, and nothing on this site should be read as a guarantee of one.

---

Fees, formats and session lengths are agreed in writing before the work starts – by email, or in a written proposal for organisations. Where terms are agreed specifically for an engagement, those terms govern that engagement, and this page fills any gap they leave.

You pay after the session, not before. Nothing is taken in advance, there is no deposit, and there is nothing to get back if you decide not to come. If something comes up, tell her when you can and the two of you will find another time.

You may read this site, and share links to it, freely.

The words, photographs, diagrams and design on this site belong to the practice, as does the SVã flo name and mark. Please do not reproduce them, republish them, or use them as your own without asking first. Ask at hello@svaflo.com; the answer is often yes.

You agree not to use the site to break the law, to harass anyone, to try to break its security, to scrape it, or to interfere with anyone else’s use of it.

Where a review or a piece of work appears on this site under your name or your organisation’s, it is there because you agreed to it. That agreement can be withdrawn at any time – write to hello@svaflo.com and it comes down.

The site may be unavailable from time to time, for maintenance or for reasons outside the practice’s control. It is not liable for anything arising from that.

The site links to other places. What happens on those sites is their responsibility, not the practice’s.

These terms may be updated. The Effective Date at the top will change when they are, and the version on this page at the time you use the site is the one that applies.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising from them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Kolkata.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. A failure to enforce a term on one occasion is not a waiver of it. These terms, with the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy, are the whole of the agreement about the use of this site.
