Parvathi was born in India into a family with ancient lineage of Yoga and Vedanta. Raised with these teachings and principles, at a very young age she began her training. She was formally initiated into the Pratyabhijnana Marga School of Kashmir Shaivism by a yogini adept. Over the years she received the full transmissions of this tradition integrating them with Yoga, Vedanta and Samaya Tantras (a specific scientific school of yoga wisdom). Later, she received the Shree Vidya transmissions through the eminent Shree Amritananda Saraswati of
Devipuram.

Parvathi is the disciple of Lalita Devi and heir of the deepest tantric tradition of Kashmirian Shaivism. The lineage of the Nath goes back to Matsyendranath himself and through him to the oldest sources of Shaivism. It is to this emblematic master that Abhinavagupta pays homage in the opening of his Tantraloka, as initiator of the Kaula lineage. Kaula is the union of Shakti, kula, and Shiva, akula. Matsyendranath in his famous tantra, the Kaulajnananirnaya tantra, after presenting the lineage of his masters, states simply that he received the teachings directly from the Goddess Kali.

Parvathi underwent a beautiful and very strong training immersed in the direct teachings and sadhanas of the Yoginis, the Kaula tradition and the living philosophies of Kashmir Shaivism. She received the transmission of the deepest teachings of the Kaula lineage and became an adept in the art of mantras and the different sadhanas. She practiced the sadhana of the Ten Mahavidyas dedicated to Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi and Kamala. Then she was initiated to the teachings and cosmic practice of Shree Vidya that she transmits today. As the years passed she also received training in the Mishra and Samaya schools of Tantra. She is heir to three profound streams of Tantra and Yoga lineage. After extensive training and arduous testing, she was asked to teach by her teachers who themselves are lineage holders. She does this as a yogini sharing the transmissions, but not as a guru.

As a young girl Parvathi traveled throughout America, Europe and India due to her father’s profession as a scientist. Later living in America, she founded Saraswati River Yoga School and co-founded Yogasphere. She trains teachers in this integrated method of yoga transmitted originally from the yoginis, the Vedas and the Tantras. Extensive travel, living in the West but undergoing arduous traditional training and testing by her teachers has given Parvathi a special ability to give pertinent and refined language to this consciousness work – revealing its integrated application and relevance.

As well, living a householder’s life in the world – as a mother and a yogini – integrating yoga practice daily, has given Parvathi a unique perspective. She weaves the timeless wisdoms and ancient practices and texts into everyday life. Finding grace and wonder in life through the myriad of relationships is the aim of her yoga practice. To exist in non-duality, conversing with duality and being accountable to every level of relationship is the mastery of the yoginis. Parvathi’s study and training is captivating because it reveals the wisdom of this tradition expounding the great power of the yoginis and their lineages transmitted from woman to woman since the origins.
