In today’s relentless corporate world, the silent damage of chronic of stress, long hours, and unhealthy lifestyle choices often go unnoticed—until the body sends a wake-up call. That awakening served as the impetus for a profound change in the lives of Vijay and Monikaa, a husband and wife team who had successfully navigated the demands of professional life for decades. Their transition from the regimented routine of corporate work to the spiritual rhythm of yoga and diet led to the creation of NisargaNow, a flourishing freelance wellness company that has positively influenced the lives of more than a thousand people worldwide.

Humble Beginnings: Careers in Corporate India

Vijay’s early professional journey began with impressive credentials—a postgraduate degree in business management complemented by a diploma in IT. Armed with these qualifications, he entered the technology sector as an SAP consultant, where he would build a distinguished 17-year career. His technical prowess and leadership abilities propelled him through complex projects and managerial roles, earning him consistent recognition for his problem-solving approach and ability to orchestrate large-scale implementations.

Meanwhile, Monikaa carved her own professional path with a postgraduate degree in computers, spending over a decade as a legal transcriptionist in the corporate sector. Her meticulous attention to detail and strong work ethic made her an asset in her field. Eventually, she made the conscious decision to transition to full-time homemaking, prioritizing their children’s upbringing while quietly nurturing her growing interest in wellness and holistic health.

The Corporate Toll: When Productivity Meets Pain

For Vijay, the pressures of corporate life, coupled with sedentary routines and irregular habits, began manifesting as serious health concerns. By 2015, what began as occasional discomfort had evolved into chronic back pain, bloating, and recurring fissures—issues that severely impacted his quality of life. “I tried medications, and while they provided temporary relief, the problems would resurface, sometimes worse than before,” he recalls.

The year 2017 marked a turning point amid years of physical discomfort and growing dissatisfaction. While his IT career had been rewarding on paper, the toll it took on his health could no longer be ignored. After thoughtful consideration, Vijay made the courageous decision that many dream of but few execute: stepping away from the security of his corporate position. In 2019, he officially concluded his 17-year IT career, not with regret but with hopeful anticipation of a new chapter centered on healing, purpose, and holistic wellness.

Discovering Yoga: A Path to Personal Healing

The transition from structured corporate life to entrepreneurial uncertainty brought its own challenges. The couple faced the quintessential question that haunts many in career transitions: “What now?” 

Yoga, initially adopted as a potential solution for Vijay’s chronic health issues, gradually transformed into something far more profound. What began as physical postures evolved into a comprehensive lifestyle philosophy. Recognizing the depth and potential of this ancient practice, both Vijay and Monikaa enrolled in formal yoga teacher training programs, immersing themselves not just in asanas (postures) but in the philosophy, science, and transformative potential of yogic living.Over the next few years, they earned certifications as yoga instructors, approaching their studies with the same diligence that had characterized their corporate careers. The results were remarkable—Vijay’s chronic health issues began to reverse, and both experienced enhanced mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical vitality. Yoga had become not just a healing modality but a lens through which they viewed health, purpose, and fulfillment.

Turning Passion into Practice: How NisargaNow Was Born

When the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill in 2020, it also triggered widespread reflection on health, mortality, and what truly matters. Sensing the growing collective need for physical wellness and mental equilibrium during lockdown, Vijay and Monikaa began offering virtual yoga sessions to friends and family members struggling with isolation and anxiety.

The response was immediate and enthusiastic. What started as informal guidance evolved into structured sessions, and word spread quickly through referrals. The positive feedback encouraged the couple to formalize their offerings and establish a proper framework for their services.

Thus, NisargaNow was born—a name that combines “Nisarga” (nature) with “Now,” reflecting their philosophy of returning to natural wellness principles in the modern world. Over the five years since its inception, NisargaNow has touched the lives of more than a thousand individuals through diverse offerings:

Personalized one-on-one virtual yoga sessions
Group classes tailored to specific health concerns
Corporate wellness programs designed for workplace implementation
In-person sessions at studios, private residences, and educational institutions

What distinguishes NisargaNow is its deeply personalized approach. Vijay specializes in spinal care, posture correction, and sustainable weight management protocols. Monikaa brings complementary expertise, focusing on women’s health concerns, particularly hormonal imbalances, PCOD, and pre/postnatal wellness. She is both a certified Garbh Sanskar trainer and a children’s yoga specialist, offering specialized guidance for mindful pregnancy, motherhood, and dedicated yoga programs for children—unique services that bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary needs.

The Nutritional Shift: Food as Medicine

As their practice expanded, Vijay and Monikaa observed a recurring pattern—many clients were experiencing plateaus in their progress despite consistent yoga practice. Conversations revealed that nutrition remained a significant blind spot in their wellness journeys. Recognizing this crucial gap, the couple pursued rigorous certification in nutrition science, studying the biochemical impact of food choices and the principles of personalized diet planning. Their goal was straightforward yet revolutionary: to help people understand that what we consume is equally important as how we move and breathe. Armed with this integrated knowledge, NisargaNow evolved to offer holistic wellness planning that addresses both movement and nourishment. Their unique dual-service model combines customized yoga practices with personalized nutrition plans, created with consideration for each client’s specific health concerns, daily schedules, cultural background, and food preferences. This comprehensive approach has yielded remarkable results. NisargaNow clients have successfully managed or recovered from various chronic conditions, including diabetes, thyroid imbalances, PCOD, chronic back pain, digestive issues, and stress-related ailments.

Tech Meets Wellness: Reaching a Global Audience

In a remarkable demonstration of how seemingly unrelated skills can converge to create unique value, Vijay’s extensive IT background became a significant asset in building NisargaNow’s reach and operational efficiency. While many traditional yoga practitioners struggled with the digital transition, particularly during pandemic restrictions, NisargaNow seamlessly integrated technology into their wellness delivery model.From developing streamlined digital workflows to implementing automated scheduling systems and leveraging online platforms for class delivery, the couple harnessed technology to create a scalable, client-centric wellness experience. This technological fluency allowed them to overcome geographical limitations and expand their reach exponentially.

Today, NisargaNow serves clients across India and has established an international presence with students in the United States, Canada, and the Middle East. They’ve formed partnerships with corporate entities, educational institutions, and community organizations, conducting comprehensive wellness workshops, specialized yoga programs for desk-bound professionals, and educational sessions on nutrition science and mindful eating practices. Through it all, their mission remains rooted in the fundamental belief that the human body possesses remarkable capacity for self-healing when provided with the right inputs—proper movement, adequate rest, appropriate nourishment, and positive intention.

The true measure of NisargaNow’s impact lies in the transformed lives of individuals who have embraced their approach. Their diverse client base includes high-pressure corporate executives, busy homemakers, stressed college students, and seniors seeking to maintain vitality in their golden years.Beyond measurable physical improvements, clients consistently report enhanced energy levels, improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and increased productivity. Many describe a newfound sense of balance and agency in their approach to health—shifting from reactive treatment to proactive wellness management.What truly sets NisargaNow apart is Vijay and Monikaa’s genuine investment in each client’s journey. They don’t offer one-size-fits-all programs or quick fixes. Instead, they build lasting relationships characterized by accountability, encouragement, and authentic care. This approach has transformed NisargaNow from a service provider into a wellness community, where success stories inspire newcomers and collective growth reinforces individual progress.

Wellness Forward: A Vision for Preventive Wellness

As NisargaNow approaches its next chapter, Vijay and Monikaa remain firmly committed to their mission of making holistic wellness not just accessible but preventive. Rather than waiting for illness to manifest, they advocate for daily practices that preserve vitality and mental clarity throughout life’s journey.Their vision for NisargaNow includes expanding into digital wellness education, collaborating with healthcare professionals to bridge traditional and complementary approaches, and launching curated online courses that empower individuals to take charge of their well-being regardless of location or schedule constraints.

“Wellness is not a luxury,” Vijay emphasizes with quiet conviction. “It’s a necessity—especially in today’s world. And it doesn’t require extreme measures or drastic lifestyle changes. Just consistency, awareness, and the willingness to invest in yourself.” “We started NisargaNow because we needed healing,” Monikaa adds thoughtfully. “Now, we want to help others find theirs.” In a world increasingly characterized by quick fixes and superficial solutions, NisargaNow stands as a testament to the transformative power of authentic personal experience, dedicated practice, and holistic thinking.
