Psalm Isadora grew up on a born-again hippie commune in Northern California. From a young age, she had ecstatic experiences with the Spirit that did not fit in the dogma of the religion she was raised with. The mis-use of power in organised religion and personal abuse led her to leave the church and go on a search for personal truth with God. This search led her to study and teach yoga in America. As her thirst for knowledge grew, she travelled to India to study Tantra, where she experienced the balance of femine divine energy that she found missing in her religious upbringing. She continued to travel in search of traditional teachers of mystical practices, living with a sufi teacher in Istanbul. The further she travelled, she realized that she needed to heal herself. When she returned to America she sought out ancestral healing in the Lakota sweatlodge. She found the bridge to the mystical lies through accepting the human experience, having her heart broken open for compassion and forgiveness.
She was initiated and asked to teach Tantra by her guru, Sri Amritananda. Her classes and talks blend yogic philosophy, tantric goddess worship, sufi and christiam mysticism. Through her own path of healing, she seeks to share with others by generating compassion, empowerment and acceptance of this life as liberation. Psalm continues to learn by travelling and leading groups on pilgrimages to sacred sites and communities around the world. Commited to service as a path to spiritual awakening, she has started a non-profit to open a school for women living in rural villages in India to become yoga teachers in their communities.
