Editorial Standards & Integrity
At Harmonybodyspirit, we are committed to delivering accurate, evidence-informed content about yoga breathing techniques and wellness practices. This page outlines our editorial principles, fact-checking process, and commitment to transparency.
Our Editorial Principles
Accuracy First
Every article is researched thoroughly and reviewed by our editorial team before publication. We cite credible sources and current research on breathing techniques and wellness practices.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently. We do not allow advertisers or external interests to influence our content. Each article reflects genuine expertise and research.
Transparency
We disclose our sources, author credentials, and any potential conflicts of interest. Readers deserve to know who wrote content and why. Our process is open to scrutiny.
Continuous Improvement
We welcome feedback and corrections. As new research emerges, we update our content. Our commitment to accuracy is never complete—it is an ongoing responsibility.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Research & Source Verification
Writers compile information from peer-reviewed journals, established wellness publications, and verified expert sources. We prioritise current, rigorous research over opinion or anecdote.
Editorial Review
A second editor independent of the writer reviews all content for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to our standards. Claims are cross-checked and sources are verified during this stage.
Expert Consultation (When Needed)
Articles on specialised breathing practices or advanced techniques may be reviewed by practitioners or instructors with relevant credentials to ensure practical accuracy.
Publication & Ongoing Monitoring
After publication, we monitor new research and reader feedback. Articles are updated when significant new information emerges or if errors are identified.
Fact-Checking Standards
- Credible sources only: We cite scientific journals, health organisations, certified instructors, and established wellness publications. Marketing materials do not count as sources.
- Quote accuracy: All direct quotes are verified word-for-word against original sources. Context is preserved and representative of the original meaning.
- Data transparency: Statistics are attributed to their original source with publication date. We avoid outdated or misrepresented data.
- No unverified claims: We do not publish claims that lack supporting evidence, regardless of how popular they are.
- Distinction between established practice and emerging research: We clearly label what is traditional practice versus what is newer or experimental.

How We Handle Corrections
Accuracy is our priority. If we identify an error or receive a credible correction request, we take immediate action:
- Verification: We verify the correction against original sources to confirm the error exists.
- Correction: We update the article with accurate information as quickly as possible.
- Transparency: Significant corrections are noted with a dated correction notice at the end of the article, explaining what was changed and why.
- Acknowledgement: We credit readers or experts who bring errors to our attention (unless they request anonymity).

- Significant new research contradicts or expands upon existing information in the article.
- Best practices or professional guidelines in the field change materially.
