Must read. Dec 21, Gabby rated it really liked it. Honestly had no idea how many bad ass women were in the front line moving yoga into the Western Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World. Great read for all yoga teachers! Oct 13, Julie rated it really liked it. My thinkgirl. The majority of the book consists of illuminating biograp My thinkgirl. The majority of the book consists of illuminating biographies of women in yoga. In the same spirit, German-born Canadian Swami Sivananda Radha became the first Western woman to be initiated into the guru tradition. Feminists may find the stories of women overcoming their disempowerment the most compelling. Donna Farhi faced anorexia; Angela Farmer, childhood sexual abuse; and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, a disempowering birth and infant loss, among other stories. Each woman has become a teacher who contributes to women uniting their minds and bodies in celebration of peace, health, empowerment, and enlightenment. Nov 23, Ripa Ajmera rated it really liked it. I like this book because it tells the history of women in the yoga tradition, which stems from a strongly patriarchal society. This society, however, a very long time ago, revered women. Years of conditioning have led away from this and Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World stories of the Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World yoga teachers depicted in this book offer hope for younger generations of women. Using yoga as their platform, they teach a powerful message of self-respect, internal empowerment and embodying peace in all realms of life. Mar 28, Sonia Crites rated it it was amazing. I found the stories extremely compelling and inspiring. I enjoyed getting to get a glimpse into the lives of these women who have done so much to pave a path for us in yoga.

Union | Heart of Yogini - Shakti Prana Flow for Women at Samudra Global School for Living Yoga She assumes various forms and takes on different divine energies to maintain harmony in the Universe, to combat evil Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World uphold the good. A woman who gains a transcendental state in sadhana comes back as a celestial Yogini or Bhairavi, a female adept at Yoga. She carries the energy of Durga within her. A true Yogini is an enlightened woman with exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight. Yoginis communicate a sense of freedom, a sheer mastery in Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World they do. With their compelling gazes, they Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World hypnotize even a great yogi and are capable of changing their shapes at will. Tantric scholars have written about Yoginis as independent, outspoken, forthright women with a gracefulness of spirit. Without them, yoga can fail in its purpose and remain sterile. Shakta texts honor both women and the Earth alike as sources of energy, vitality, physical and spiritual well-being. In Hindu thought, the Yogini represents the Yoga Shakti herself, the Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World, as well as the resident powers or female deities of the different chakras. The Yogini possesses the power of Yoga herself and can awaken that in others, not only generally but at any point or place in the body or mind. Just as a Goddess blesses and benefits her devotees, and the Shakti vivifies all biological, cultural, and religious practices, so a woman can channel this life force or spiritual energy to her consort-devotee. A woman is no more depleted by providing this spiritual nourishment than a mother by nursing her child. In fact, it causes deeper energies to well up from within her. This spiritual energy is not something that a man can extract or take from a Yogini at will. She chooses when and on whom to bestow her blessings. This relationship parallels human-divine relationships in so far as the deity is the benefactor and the human devotee is the beneficiary. Although the Deity may derive some Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World from the relationship, the devotee has much more to gain than does the sovereign object of his devotion.
