About Us
NirogaTM Institute strives to foster health and well being for
individuals, families, and communities through the practice of
Yoga. The Sanskrit word, Niroga, means ‘freedom from disease’
or integral health - health of body, mind, and spirit.
The healing benefits of Yoga have been shown to extend to our
physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well being.
The practice of Yoga induces positive transformation in a
natural, holistic, organic, and integrated way. Its health and
fitness benefits extend to all our major physical systems, and
leads to increased flexibility, endurance, balance, and
strength. Its psychological benefits include stress reduction,
anger management, enhanced self-esteem and increased
self-confidence. Its spiritual benefits include
self-awareness, mindfulness, and introspection, with increased
ability to act rather than to react, and that too from a
principled conscience.
The purpose of NirogaTM Institute is three-fold:
Community Outreach - through Yoga CorpsTM, bring the benefits
of Yoga to underserved communities, including children with
special needs, at-risk youth, and the elderly.
Yoga Education - develop and disseminate Yoga Therapy
protocols and educational materials for chronic medical
conditions, including chronic back pain, asthma, arthritis,
osteoporosis, and repetitive strain injuries (RSI).
Yoga Therapeutics Research - scientifically document the
health benefits of Yoga for chronic medical conditions, and
understand the underlying principles of Yoga Therapeutics
based on science.
