Naveen Kolli’s journey is one of transformation, rooted in humble beginnings and blossoming into a life dedicated to well-being and inner peace. Growing up in a serene rural setting, Naveen’s childhood was shaped by the solid values instilled by his parents and grandparents. Spending time on agricultural farms, he found solace in nature’s simplicity, fostering a deep connection with its rhythms. His early education in a Gurukul environment and his mother Smt. Sarojini’s spiritual practices further inspired a quest for balance and tranquility.
Naveen’s corporate career in the IT industry brought him professional success, recognition, and achievements, but it came at a cost. The relentless pressures and high demands of the fast-paced corporate world took a severe toll on his physical and mental health. Feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, Naveen found himself at a crossroads, searching for a way to reclaim his well-being.
Yoga became his sanctuary during this challenging phase. What began as a remedy for stress and health challenges soon evolved into a transformative journey. Yoga not only healed his body and mind but also reignited a sense of purpose. This pivotal experience motivated him to share the life-changing benefits of yoga with others, marking the beginning of his transition from the corporate realm to a life dedicated to wellness.

A Spiritual Awakening
In 2012, Naveen experienced a profound shift when he participated in the Happiness Program and Sudarshan Kriya, guided by the teachings of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. This life-changing experience deepened his understanding of yoga’s potential to heal and transform, further strengthening his commitment to its practice. Inspired by the wisdom of the Sri Sri School of Yoga, Naveen attained the prestigious RYT 500 certification and dedicated himself to mastering and teaching the Art of Living’s transformative techniques.
Driven by his personal journey and the desire to help others, Naveen founded Navyoga Wellness. The center is a culmination of his life’s lessons, offering a sanctuary where individuals can find balance, vitality, and inner peace. Combining traditional yoga practices with modern techniques, Navyoga Wellness is a reflection of Naveen’s belief that yoga is a powerful tool for navigating the challenges of today’s world.
