Giribabu Bikki has been practicing Yoga for last 10 years and he thinks it does wonders to him. In 2018, he decided to pursue Yoga certification to learn yoga as pristine and holistic as possible and was so fortunate to find Yoga Bharathi as his destination. While Ashtanga Yoga fascinated him, he has been exploring the science of chakras and art of awakening them using little subtle movements of hands and fingers (Mudras), which also amazes him. He holds BE in University college of engineering, Osmania university and works in VMware as an architect. He relocated to Austin after living in bay area for 14 years.
