After receiving initiation into the spiritual path of yogic meditation in the year 1988, she decided to spend time in India and deepen her practice. There she discovered that Indian Classical Dance and Music is a complementary pursuit and actually a yoga in itself. Her background in various other styles of dance, ballet, and contemporary styles, have provided a vast background and strong basis to embark on the path of two parallel careers: that of a yoga and meditation teacher as well as a performing dance artist. While in India she devoted herself to the in-depth study of a variety of subjects, including Eastern metaphysics, philosophy, Sanskrit, several living Indian languages, vocal music, percussion, the art of abhinaya (mimic or expressive dance), Indian classical dance and yoga.

Today she devotes her time to serious seekers and also teaches yoga for beginners, to people who want to learn more about the time-tested practice of yoga. She has worked as the director of a yoga centre in Northern California, USA, for five years and has taught yoga to youth, adults, and children. She was actively involved in community service as well, teaching yoga to inmates, university students and at various health and women's centres. For 7 years she led the life of formal renunciation or sannyas, as a yogic nun. She has furthermore taught classes, workshops, and seminars on yoga, diet, and lifestyle in India, Germany, Croatia, and the UK. She is a senior yoga instructor of the highest level registered with Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500) and is the principal teacher of the Himalayan Yoga Institute.

As a yoga therapist, she has helped hundreds of people to overcome their emotional, mental and physical issues and illnesses. She is an IAYT certified yoga therapist.

She adapts the style of yoga (Hatha, Dynamic Vinyasa, Restorative, Sivananda, Tantra Yoga) to individual needs and offers services as a life coach as well, offering life and spiritual coaching sessions.

Ganga Devi has been sharing her wealth of knowledge on Yoga teacher training courses for many years, guiding yoga students who desire to take the next step and assisting them in becoming well-rounded, competent, knowledgeable, intuitive and confident yoga teachers themselves. She also organizes yoga retreat vacations, in beautiful, natural settings, in India, Croatia, France, and the UK providing opportunities to regenerate and immerse oneself in the life-transforming practices of yoga and meditation. At present, she lives in London, where she teaches Yoga, Meditation and Indian Classical Dance.

She is very well respected and sought after as a teacher and has developed a unique style of teaching which is a result of a wealth of knowledge and experience gained throughout many years of practice and teaching yoga to a variety of people with different needs and levels of ability.

She has produced a CD with kiirtan chanting and a devotional music CD with poetry and music for meditation, which are much loved by her yoga students.

Ganga Devi is a bestselling author. Her recently published book "The Chakras of Tantra" has become a classic and international bestseller in several categories.
