About 
Helen Selmeczy
"Bhairavi"

Helen is a Yogini, mystic, and guide of embodied awakening, transmitting a living current of Kriya Yoga and Tantric sādhanā through a lineage she both inherited and has consciously shaped.

Her relationship with yoga began early—introduced to yogic practice at the age of seven, over six decades ago. What began as a natural immersion became a lifelong path of devotion, discipline, and lived inquiry. Yoga for Helen has never been a trend or identity alone; it has been the steady rhythm and organising intelligence of her life.

​

Her primary yogic root lies in the Himalayan Nath yogic current, expressed through Kriya Yoga—a householder tradition devoted to breath, bandha, mudrā, and the regulation of life force. In this stream, yoga is not an escape from the world but a means of remaining stable within it. Kriya is understood not as a spiritual accelerator, but as a regulator—preserving vitality, coherence, and sovereignty as consciousness deepens.

​

Helen’s path is deeply anchored in Shaiva–Shakta Tantra, where Śiva and Śakti are lived as a single, indivisible intelligence moving through body, ritual, and daily life. She has received formal Śākta dīkṣā through the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahātmya)—an initiation into Mahādevī as sovereign, protective, and world-restoring power. This transmission forms a foundational pillar of her work, establishing protection, containment, and dharmic order as prerequisites for deeper awakening.

 

At the heart of Helen’s devotional life is a profound and ongoing relationship with Kālī, alongside sustained sādhanā with the Dasha Mahāvidyās—the ten great wisdom goddesses of Tantric revelation. These forms are not treated symbolically, but as living frequencies of consciousness, each governing specific functions of dissolution, refinement, sovereignty, beauty, silence, and power. Her work with the Mahāvidyās emphasises maturity, regulation, and lived integration rather than intensity or spectacle.

​

Interwoven with this is her devotion to the 64 Yoginīs—guardians of thresholds, embodiment, and transmission. The Yoginīs inform Helen’s understanding of circular power, feminine intelligence, and non-linear initiation. Their presence shapes her emphasis on nervous system readiness, energetic containment, and the importance of place, timing, and integrity in Tantric work.

​

Helen has also received transmission of the Pañcadaśī mantra within the Sri Vidyā tradition—the fifteen-syllable mantra of Tripura Sundarī that encodes the inner cosmology of creation, embodiment, and liberation. While she does not teach formal Sri Vidyā initiation, her work is deeply informed by its sacred geometry, devotional intelligence, and principles of refinement and inner coherence, held with clarity and respect rather than claim.

 

 She also holds a past initiation within the Tibetan Vajrayāna tradition, an esoteric Himalayan path that has shaped her understanding of ritual precision, energetic discipline, and the careful handling of power.

From these roots, Helen has founded The Yogini Jiva Parampara—a living lineage for the modern world. This parampara bridges traditional Himalayan wisdom with contemporary life, offering structure without rigidity, devotion without dogma, and power without excess. It is a transmission designed not for spectacle, but for sustainability—for those who understand that at higher altitudes, preservation is a higher intelligence than ascent.

 

Through The Yogini Path and The Yogini Academy, Helen offers Kriya Yoga, Tantric sādhanās, initiations, ritual, and contemplative study for practitioners seeking depth, regulation, and embodied realisation. Her teaching is precise, grounded, and fiercely compassionate—devoted to cultivating energetic sovereignty, nervous system coherence, and a path that can be lived.

She does not promise transcendence.
She offers something rarer: integration.

Rooted in lineage. Alive in the present. Carried forward through the body.
