Birth of YOGATREYA: “Your JOURNEY to NEW YOU with ATREYA”

It was when Atul Kumar Verma was pursuing his Teacher’s Training course from Shivananda School of Yoga that he found his spiritual name, Atreya. The word Atreya, comes from the name of a learned rishi (sage), Atreya Punarvasu who was a descendant of Rishi Atri mentioned in the Puranas. Consequently, Atul created the platform of Yogatreya, implying Yoga with Atreya in the year 2016 itself which got popularised in 2018.

Yoga made him whole – and now he surrenders his whole life to yoga.

A high ranked I.T. professional (with an M.C.A. degree) who had been working as the I.T. Head at some of the most esteemed companies for 13 years, Atul Kumar Verma had a successful career. But the success gradually and sneakily paired along with a number of vices (which only made themselves visible much later) as a result of a mechanical 9 to 5 desk job. Some of these vices were cervical spondylosis, anxiety, hints of depression, monotony, lack of job satisfaction and in his case even slip disc. Feeling an urge to fix this state he inclined himself towards fitness (body-building, in particular). Around five years of body-building fortunately led him to explore another dimension of fitness namely, Yoga and then there was no looking back.

His heightened interest in fitness, passion and thirst for yogic knowledge made him pursue Masters(his second majors) in Yoga and secure certifications like YCB Level-3 (Ministry of AYUSH), ERYT500 (Yoga Alliance), a specialised course in Pranayama and Meditation (Morarji Desai Institute of Yoga), a Diploma in Naturopathy and Yoga, an advanced certification course in Ayurveda, etc.

In spite of being criticised deeply from his near and dear ones he took the risk (which then seemed like a huge one) of quitting his job at the peak of his career. Little did they know that his journey from a mechanical life to a spiritual one would bring him clarity, purpose, reduce his anxiety, cure his physical and mental ailments; bring the much-awaited feeling of content and everything that was missing during the former. His hunger for yogic knowledge made him delve deeper into various forms and schools of yoga like Jain Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Shivananda school of Yoga, Aashtanga Yoga, etc. This was when he founded the unique platform, Yogatreya. Added to this, he aced two State Level Yoga Competitions, he was covered multiple times by AIR-FM Gold; and his article was published in South Asia’s leading Dental Journal.

He has been conducting yoga sessions ever since and in 2019, he began his first batch of Yoga Alliance accredited Yoga Teacher Training Course. The year 2021 marks his six year long and inspiring journey which includes teaching 250+ students including 150+ RYT graduates from 15+ countries in 10+ T.T.C. batches and obtaining around 5.5lakh subscribers on his YouTube page, Fitness Rockers.
