For the Puri siblings, born and raised in the Ashram with yogis as parents, yoga has always been their lifestyle.

As young adults they went on to get University degrees in Yoga Science and Ayurveda. And thus after many years of practice, they became teachers, each in their own specilized fields. Together they lead our Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Staff as well as many other residential and online courses.

Ganga Puri graduated with a degree in Physics & Mathematics from the Garhwal University in Srinagar. After the mahasamadhi of his father in 2001, a fundamental change of realization overcame the student of science causing Ganga to change his life path onto the complete devotion to the Divine Truth. Meditation and yoga practices became his main activities. Eventually Ganga Puri received his post-graduate diploma and Master’s Degree in Human Consciousness and Yogic Science, from the Gurukul Kangri University of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, in Haridwar.
