Adi Narayana Pallapu: Transforming Lives Through Yoga and Wellness

From a village runner to a national wellness mentor, his mission is to place one yoga teacher in every Indian village.

Early Inspiration & Humble Beginnings

From his childhood days in rural Andhra Pradesh, Adinarayana Pallapu has embodied discipline and determination. At just twelve, he would wake up before sunrise to run across the fields — a glimpse into the fitness passion that would later define his life.

During his intermediate and bachelor’s studies, Adi Narayana voluntarily offered free tuition to students in his village and organized various community events. His natural ability to motivate others and take initiative reflected his emerging leadership spirit.

From IT Professional to Wellness Visionary

After completing his education, Adinarayana began his career as an IT Trainer. But while teaching technology, he noticed a recurring pattern — many colleagues were struggling with health issues despite their professional success.

This observation changed his outlook. He realized that wealth loses its meaning without health, and that “Prevention is better than cure.” Determined to make a change, he transitioned into the Health & Wellness field, choosing Yoga as his lifelong path.

Why Yoga Became His Calling

For Adi Narayana, Yoga wasn’t just physical exercise — it was a way to create balance, awareness, and long-term health. He pursued a Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) and soon began teaching Yoga to help people overcome lifestyle-related conditions such as:

Diabetes

Thyroid Disorders

Arthritis

PCOD/PCOS

Obesity 

Anxiety 

Depression 

Back Pain

He also organized free yoga camps and community wellness drives, bringing health education and prevention practices to hundreds of families.

Empowering Others: Training the Next Generation of Yoga Teachers

In 2017, inspired by the impact he created, Adi Narayana founded Varthamaan Yoga Studios and Paadham Organisation, both registered and ISO-certified institutions. In affiliation with S-Vyasa University (Bengaluru) and Yoga Alliance (USA), he began offering internationally recognized training programs, including:

✅ RYT200 & RYT300

✅ Yoga Therapy & Aerial Yoga

✅ Props Yoga & Face Yoga

✅ Chair Yoga & Pregnancy Yoga

✅ Multi-Style Yoga

✅ 100hr & 200hr TTCs

Till date, he has trained over 5,000 certified Yoga Teachers and Therapists and guided more than 2,00,000 Yoga practitioners across India — helping them lead healthier and more mindful lives.

Exploring the Depth of Yoga Across India

Adinarayana’s journey included two years of travel across India, where he studied various schools and philosophies of Yoga. He explored advanced methods in relaxation, pranayama, alignment, and healing.

From this exploration, he created a unique, structured, and student-friendly teaching methodology that ensures every practitioner:

✨ receives proper guidance

✨ experiences mental clarity and relaxation

✨ builds strength and flexibility

✨ enjoys safe, effective practice

This scientific and holistic method now forms the core of his teacher training programs, transforming yoga education into an inclusive and empowering experience.

Vision: One Yoga Trainer in Every Indian Village

Adinarayana’s long-term mission is simple yet profound:

> “To ensure at least one yoga trainer in every village — someone who can promote preventive healthcare, inspire wellness, and strengthen the nation from within.”

Through this grassroots initiative, he continues to drive the Fit India Movement, helping communities adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce dependence on reactive healthcare.
