Award-winning Yoga performer from Andhra Pradesh awaits government recognition

For B. Sirisha, yoga happened by chance. As a schoolgirl, becoming a yoga instructor was not even part of her wildest of dreams.

Yet, as destiny would have it, Ms. Sirisha today has not just become a well-known Yoga instructor in Vijayawada but also an award-winning performer in national and international championships.

Hailing from a middle-class family in Bhimavaram in the West Godavari district, Ms. Sirisha, recalls how it all started: “One day in 2010, when I was in my degree first year, my father nudged me and other relatives to join him in his daily Yoga sessions being held nearby. Since I was loathe to wake up early, I joined him unwillingly. I grew interested in it very soon. Since I was doing well, I caught the attention of the instructor who then encouraged me to practise more.”
