A lineage-rooted path of Tantric sādhana, ritual and embodied awakening.

Shivoham Traditional Tantra

Traditional Tantra, as it lives within my work, is a path of direct experience, disciplined practice, and sacred relationship with life.

It is not the modernised version of Tantra often associated with intimacy practices or personal empowerment alone, but a living spiritual tradition that works through mantra, kriyā, ritual process, subtle body work, and yagna (fire ceremony), yantra (sacred geometry), and yatra (pilgrimage). At its heart, it is a way of entering into conscious relationship with the deeper structures of existence, the forces, rhythms, and intelligences that shape both the inner and outer worlds.

For me, this path is one of devotion, refinement, and participation. It asks us to move beyond concept and into direct embodied knowing; to practice in a way that gradually reorganises the way we perceive, respond, lead, and live.

The Path

Since 2018, I have been in committed discipleship within Shivoham Tantra, under the guidance of Guruji Rajkumar and GuruMaa Dipti Baswar in the Bhairavanand lineage.

Over the years, this has included sustained sādhanā, pilgrimage, ritual process, daily mantra japa, and the continued unfolding of being shaped by the practices and lineage energy itself. What began as a personal path of devotion has gradually unfolded into a deeper relationship with the tradition, through which I am now authorised to share elements of its teachings and practices.

While not all offerings explicitly include Traditional Tantra, the depth of this sādhanā continues to shape the presence, discernment, weaving of content and devotional intelligence through which I teach and hold space.

Practices Within The Lineage

Within this lineage, the path of Traditional Tantra is explored through practices such as mantra, yantra, yagna, kriyā, and specific energetic and herbal treatment processes. Together, these work to refine the energetic body, deepen awareness, and support a more conscious relationship between the individual and the greater web of life.

While certain aspects of the tradition are shared within my teaching and offerings, others are held more traditionally within the ashram or offered only through the direct guidance of Guruji and Guruma.

Traditional Tantra offers a way of remembering that life itself is practice.

It is a path that refines the way we inhabit the body, meet the mind, orient to challenge, and participate in the sacredness woven through ordinary and extraordinary life alike.

Rather than seeking to transcend life, this tradition teaches intimacy with it, through discipline, devotion, ritual, awareness, and the courage to keep showing up.

The Practices

  • Mantra Sadhana

    Mantra is a pathway of sound resonance and repetition. Through sustained practice, specific sanskrit mantras are recited to focus awareness, shift inner states, and gradually awaken deeper layers of energy and consciousness within the practitioner. Its depth reveals itself through the lived experience of practice over time.

  • Yantra

    Yantra works through form, symbol, and sacred geometry as a way of steadying attention and relating to specific energetic qualities. In practice, it becomes a visual anchor for meditation and ritual, and through processes such as prāṇapratiṣṭhā, can be consecrated to hold and transmit sacred energies within the space.

  • Yagna

    Yagna is a ceremonial fire practice in which offerings, mantra, and intention come together through ritual. The process supports clearing, consecration, and a deeper attunement to the forces and rhythms of life.

  • Never have I witnessed a space radiating such love and spirit

    There were a few moments that stood out, one being during the final Yagna when I had an intimate encounter with the Divine that I will never forget. it was your sacred facilitation that enabled that experience and I will always be grateful to you for that.

  • I came across a rare gem in Mischa.

    Her asana teaching reflects true mastery, her pranayama feels almost sacred, and what she transmits through her devotional tantric practice carries a depth that can only come from lived experience.

  • There was a palpable sense of authenticity in the way she guided us through the ritual, it felt deeply connected to lineage rather than performative

    One of the most memorable aspects of the experience was participating in a traditional Durga yajna (fire ceremony), held with deep intention and reverence. There was a palpable sense of authenticity in the way she guided us through the ritual, it felt deeply connected to lineage rather than performative. The ceremony itself was powerful and grounding, creating a shared experience that extended beyond practice and into something more devotional and transformative.

  • Mischa's expertise, deeply caring facilitation is a joy to witness

    In the course of the week together, Mischa offered a consistency and depth of practice that held us all in our contrasting needs - I went from resistant, just wanting to sleep to an unfurled creature that remembered the deep respect I have for this work. I cant wait for the next one!

  • Her depth of knowledge and dedication to the tantric path is inspirational

    The retreat was a magical mix of daily mantra, pranayama, both fiery & gentle yoga and yagna fire ceremonies, all guided so beautifully by Mischa. Her teaching is transformative and she has an incredible ability to be both strong and soft. You feel inspired in your practice, while also softly held in the more challenging moments.

  • Mischa's deep dedication to yoga shines through her teachings

    It is easy to find a yoga teacher, but it is hard to find one who has immersed herself as fully into the living yogini tradition as Mischa has - including lifestyle, rituals, mantras, meditation, and asana. Mischa has refined technical knowledge of yoga poses combined with excellent communication skills and embodied wisdom of the yoga tradition. I highly recommend her as your yoga teacher if you want to go deep into the practices.
