Swami Hamsa has spent over thirty years in spiritual life, including eighteen years with a Tantrica tradition, ten years of Ashram style living, both in the Uk & the Indian Himalayas. Where she built a Yoga Ashram Meditation Facility, next door to HH Dali Lama, who was her neighbour.

She took devotional life, full time in 2013 as Sannyas with Swami Nishchalananda, Founder of Mandala Yoga Ashram in Wales. Later was given Diksha Initiation as Swami in 2017 with Bihar School of Yoga India in 2017.

She has spent long retreats in solitude in the Indian jungle, living in a leaf house, developing deep connection with wild leopards and all the abundance of unexpected life there.
Born of this experience is a vulnerability & grace that touches everyone she meets.
