History

Established in 2005.

Niroga started in 2005 with a handful of practitioners meeting at BK’s home. The vision of Niroga has developed into a non-​profit 501©(3) organization that strives to foster health and well being for individuals, families, and communities through the practice of Mindful Yoga. The Sanskrit word, Niroga, means ‘freedom from disease’ or integral health — health of body, mind, and spirit.
