In the Yog tantric tradition, the Dasha Mahavidyas represent the supreme expression of the sacred feminine. They represent the ten fundamental expressions of enlightened living.
This advanced practice enables us to embody the supreme wisdom emanating from the Absolute indivisible Self making enlightened living a reality.
This sadhana is the continuous teaching of the sacred feminine and constitutes one of the highest teachings of tantra. I share it undiluted, in the way it has been shared with me. In this tradition, we focus on the internal tantric expression, rather than working with outer tools such as yantras.
Participants in this course will receive initiation into an advanced sadhana for invoking the qualities of the Dasha Mahavidyas into their lives.
Following this immersion, we will begin a 100 day sadhana with the Goddesses, coming together half-way through to check in and practice together.

Hi, I’m Pennie
Initiated into the Dasha Mahavidya Sadhana in 2018 by Himalayan Master teacher, Anand Mehrotra, I have spent the last eight years developing an intimate relationship with this wisdom, even returning to receive and bathe in this initiation twice more. I can verify by my own experience that this practice only gets deeper and richer.
The last time I offered this initiation was in 2022. She is calling me create the container again. With humility and gratitude, I am a full-hearted YES.
As a master meditation and yoga teacher, jyotishi, and holistic healer, I offer students transformative wisdom and practices to support their evolutionary journey. You can learn more about my journey here.
