Founders
	SONALI PRAMANIK Sonali co-founded Pranaa as an avenue for the Dallas community to experience the benefits Ayurveda and Yoga have to offer. Having lived in India for many years, she grew up with Ayurveda and Yoga as a part of her everyday life and saw how it improved the lives of all those around her. Always a believer of a holistic way of life, it is her endeavor to share the principles of this ancient 'science of life' with everyone. She has over 10 years of industry and entrepreneurial experience and a Masters in Business Administration. RENUKA SRINIVASAN Born and brought up in a traditional Indian family in South India, Renuka was exposed to the benefits of Ayurveda and Yoga right from childhood. She was a total IT person managing IT projects successfully until she decided to give up her IT career altogether for something more meaningful. Her interest in Ayurveda and yoga was rekindled by her husband and she started practicing yoga and changed her lifestyle to improve her aching lower back. Seeing the improvement it brought to her life was convincing enough for her to be involved in this venture to bring this ancient healing system of Ayurveda together with Yoga to Dallas.
