In India there were many [[Vajrayogini]] traditions, only few were transmitted to Tibet.
 
In the [[Kagyu tradition]], her sadhana is often given as the students's entry into [[Anuttarayoga]] practice. In this tradition [[Vajrayogini]] is called [[Vajravarahi]].
 
The Sakya tradition has a special [[Vajrayogini]] lineage going back to [[Naropa]], who only transmitted this lineage to the Phamthingka brothers, and from them it was transmitted to the [[Sakya]] lineage in Tibet.
 
The [[Gelug]] tradition received the lineage from the [[Sakya]] lineage, and it's now a separate lineage.
