Get Fit with Gaya

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦✨ Reflecting today on a beautiful June spent partnering with the Malvern Community Resource Centre, leading a park yoga series for newcomers to Canada. 🌳

This group held a deeply special place in my heart—having moved here with my own parents when I was little, I've seen first-hand what it feels like to navigate a new beginning.

We wrapped up our sessions by practicing Tree Pose, a beautiful symbol of finding steady roots in a new home while growing toward the future. Each week, we explored modern mindfulness (inspired by Rohan Gunatillake’s work), focusing on four pillars: awareness, focus, relaxation, and connection.

I’m so proud of how this group embraced the practice, taking small, daily moments for meditation that fit right into their busy lives. Happy July 1st everyone—here’s to community, connection, and growing together. ❤️
