Founder and Director
of Navyoga
I am Naveen Kolli, the dynamic yoga guru and visionary Founder and Director of Navyoga, a beacon of holistic wellness in Hyderabad. My journey from a high-powered IT career to becoming a renowned yoga instructor is a testament to the extraordinary transformative power of yoga.
My story begins with a humble childhood, shaped by the solid values instilled by my parents and grandparents. I spent much of my time on agriculture farms, where I found solace in the simplicity of nature. Reflecting on life amidst the plants, I developed a deep appreciation for the natural world and its rhythms. These early experiences grounded me and provided a serene backdrop for my formative years.
The spiritual practices of my mother, Smt. Sarojini, and my early education in a Gurukul environment profoundly influenced me. This upbringing sparked a lifelong interest in seeking balance and tranquility. Yoga emerged as a remedy for the stress and health issues that I encountered later in life. The lessons from my childhood laid the foundation for my journey into the transformative world of yoga.
At the zenith of my corporate career in the IT industry, I faced relentless pressures and severe health challenges. Despite the professional success and recognition, the fast-paced corporate world left me feeling stressed, disconnected, and overwhelmed. The constant demands and high expectations took a toll on my physical and mental well-being.
It was during this challenging period that I turned to yoga as a sanctuary. Yoga provided much-needed relief from stress and guided me toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. The practice not only improved my health but also ignited a profound passion to share its life-changing benefits with others. This pivotal phase marked the beginning of my transformative journey from the corporate world to becoming a dedicated yoga instructor.
In 2012, a transformative moment arrived when I participated in the Happiness Program and Sudarshan Kriya, guided by the profound teachings of Gurudev HH Sri Sri Ravishankar ji. This experience marked a radical shift in my perspective and purpose. The teachings resonated deeply with me, revealing the immense potential of yoga to heal, transform, and bring inner peace.
Driven by this profound experience, I immersed myself in professional yoga training, attaining the prestigious RYT 500 certification. Inspired by the wisdom of the Sri Sri School of Yoga and the guidance of Gurudev, I dedicated myself to mastering and teaching the Art of Living’s transformative techniques. My yoga sadhana became a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, reinforcing my commitment to sharing the life-changing benefits of yoga with others.

At Navyoga, we believe that true wellness extends beyond the physical practice of yoga. Our approach is holistic, integrating various complementary practices that enhance physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our commitment is to provide a comprehensive wellness experience that addresses all aspects of life.
Sound healing is a powerful therapeutic technique that uses the vibrational energy of sound to restore balance and harmony within the body. At Navyoga, we incorporate sound healing sessions using instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks. These sessions help reduce stress, improve concentration, and promote deep relaxation. The vibrations from these instruments resonate with the body’s energy centers, facilitating healing and emotional release.
Rakkenho, a Japanese technique of healing through acupressure and bodywork, is another unique offering at Navyoga. This practice focuses on activating the body’s natural healing processes through gentle yet effective pressure points and movements. Rakkenho not only alleviates physical discomfort but also releases blocked energy, leading to enhanced overall health. Our sessions aim to rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit, providing a holistic approach to wellness.
We offer specialized yoga classes for expectant and new mothers. These classes are tailored to support women through the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and postpartum. Pre/post natal yoga helps alleviate common discomforts, promotes relaxation, and prepares the body for childbirth. Postnatal yoga focuses on recovery, rebuilding strength, and bonding with the baby. Our experienced instructors provide a safe and nurturing environment for mothers to connect and thrive.
At Navyoga, we are dedicated to offering a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond traditional yoga. Our diverse range of practices and workshops are designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit, providing a comprehensive path to health and happiness.
