“In my life’s Journey, Music and Yoga stand as the supporting pillars weaving a story of passion, perseverance, and self-discovery.

After graduating in Information Technology, I felt a longing for a different career path. So, I explored Carnatic, Western, and folk music, earning certifications and diplomas in vocal arts. Training over 400 students in these diverse genres, I guided them through beginner and intermediate levels.

One memorable experience was at the Sparkles Summer Camp Program in 2023, an initiative by the Telangana government. Tailoring music lessons, I shared the joy of music with 200 young girls, nurturing creativity and igniting passion.

My singing performances found their way to television channels, connecting with viewers through the emotional power of song. But my journey wasn’t confined to melodies; I embraced yoga, achieving Level-2 Yoga Professional certification from the Quality Council of India and Sri Sri School of Yoga.

The yoga mat became my stage, where I promoted holistic well-being for 3000 individuals in diverse locations, from corporate campuses like Infosys to recreational spaces like Wonderla park. Sessions extended to government organizations, private institutions.

Life took an unexpected turn during the pandemic, yet I returned stronger, initiating music classes online and offline, touching lives globally. Amidst this, the dream of a yoga studio materialized, evolving into a space for physical health and mental well-being.

Gratitude fills my heart for my parents, teachers, friends, and well-wishers who supported this path.

As the journey unfolds, I am excited about the chapters ahead. Guiding my students towards their goals, I aim to create a progressive environment that resonates with passion and purpose, embracing what lies ahead.”
