Dr. Alaknanda (aka Gangotri), is an Ayurveda Doctor and Teacher at YogAnga Retreat, Sri Santosh Puri Ashram, who tours Europe during the monsoon season.

Dr. Alaknanda (aka Gangotri, the youngest of the three siblings) was born and raised at Santosh Puri Ashram, in foothills of the Himalayas on the bank of the Ganga River (Ganges) in North India.

She grew up in the company of traditional ascetic yogis, saints and seers, especially those adept with the science and art of living.

Aside from initially studying informally with several swamis and Ayurvedic practitioners, she has a Bachelors in Ayurveda Medical Science from Ayurveda College Coimbotore, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy and Diploma in Yogic Science from Shrinagar University, as well as a certificate in traditional Ayurveda Vaidyavisharad, and a Diploma in Holistic Health Management from Dev Sanskriti University, where she also studied Pranic Healing with the World Pranic Healing Foundation.

Alaknanda Puri supports the ashram not only behind the scenes (cooking, serving guests and leading the morning aarti by the dhuni), she treats both local and residential patients as well as teaches Ayurveda, Sukṣma Vyāyām and Bhagavad Gita both in person and online.

Otherwise she splits her time between Santosh Puri Ashram and her own place in the mountains, maintaining the dhuni (sacred fire), practicing sukṣma vyāyām, making her own medicines, treating patients and teaching.
