Sujata Ringawa began following the Siddha Yoga path in 1978 after participating in a Shaktipat Intensive at the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland, California.

She served as a manager in two Siddha Yoga Ashrams, an organizer for teacher trainings, a hatha yoga teacher, and a staff member for three of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda’s Teachings Visits.
