Yogini at the Guimet museum, Paris

Yogini is the complete form source word of the masculine yogi- and neutral/plural yogin. Far from being merely a gender tag to all things yogi, Yogini represents both a female master practitioner of Yoga, and a formal term of respect for a category of modern female spiritual teachers (in both hinduism and buddhism) in eastern countries such as India, Nepal, and Tibet.
