As this is a writing website i thought you might be interested to know that a yogi is the male version of the neutral yogin and yogini is the female version.

thanks for sharing :). in casual writing, and in part because it doesn't genderize an unnecessarily gendered word, I like to stick with yogi for both. back in the day, female poets used to be called poetess, but that for some reason died. I like it when unnecessarily gendered words die, because it signifies, I think, a positive sign for equality somehow.
