Hi All,

I am Nisha Banginwar. I am the founder of Natraj Dance Studio located in Edison, NJ, teaching Bollywood Dance from Last 20 years. I am a dance teacher, choreographer who works very passionately. In return I have gained lot of appreciation for my dedication and teaching skill. I have always worked hard for quality, and I believe that quality of work and discipline brings success. I am very optimistic towards life. If something is not possible, I try my best to make it possible and failure never pulls me down. I always use my experience as a lesson to improve and move forward.

In Dec 2017 when we were on vacation, my daughter took us to Isha Foundation Retreat Center, Tennessee, where we attended two days Yoga camp. In this Yoga camp we learned Isha kriya meditation and healthy cooking.  Eating right food helps to live happy and healthy life.

 My experience about yoga and achievements: 👇

My yoga journey started in Dec 2017 when I learned Isha kriya meditation at Isha Foundation main office in Tennessee.  Isha kriya is very effective and I have experienced it personally. It has helped me and changed my life. It made me believe in yoga and yoga power.

 I completed Isha’s Inner Engineering program in Aug 2018, which gave me lot of confidence. In 2019, I achieved many things. I did Natraj Dance Studio's First Dance Recital, became Committee Women for our district for Edison Democratic Organization and arranged Kaveri Calling Fund Raiser with Disha Foundation. In Oct 2019, I completed Isha's Hatha yoga practice. In April 2020 I got connected with Play with Me (PWM) Foundation (For special need kids), and I served as online program Director for a year and Vice President for a year. I think this was the best opportunity for me and my daughter Alisha during Covid pandemic period when school were closed. She learned a lot through virtual classes, made friends, became very confident and expressive.

I have passion for yoga, and I have a mission that yoga should reach every house, every school, every individual, and I am contributing towards it as much as possible from my side. I am one of the volunteers of Isha Foundation. I want to introduce Isha Foundations’ Outreach Program in all schools which will make all students self-sufficient, they will learn to manage stress, learn how to live happily and tackle any difficult situation.

In September 2021 we like minded friends started Inclusive Creations, a nonprofit Organization with a vision to provide vocational training to special need young adults with autism and other cognitive disabilities, and be productive, confident and independent. I worked as a Director on Board of Directors till Jan 2023.

Recently, in July, 2024, I founded Arka Arise INC 501 c3 approved nonprofit organization to create opportunities to differently abled young adults, in person vocational training for skill building and socialization. We also have virtual enrichment classes like Yoga, dance, singing and know the world around you.

We meet every Sunday to make organic soaps, packaging, know about product, learn marketing skills, do art project and more.

It’s my dream that each individual should find purposeful life.
