Maybe's Notes

Sadhguru cites research linking a 21-minute daily Isha practice (Shambhavi Mahamudra) to sizable jumps in BDNF and endocannabinoids. Isha does have research collaborations, and some studies on this practice exist — but these exact figures come through Sadhguru's telling and need independent sourcing before Maybe treats them as established. Checkable, and unconfirmed for now.
