About Me

Dr. Nagaraju Podila

Double PG in Management Science, PhD in Management, M.Sc in Yoga

I am Dr. Nagaraju Podila, with over 14 years of experience in the field of yoga science. My academic journey includes a Double Post-Graduation in Management Science, a PhD in Management, and an M.Sc in Yoga. This unique blend of expertise in both management and yoga allows me to approach wellness with a holistic perspective.
