Here are some photos from a successful Kids Yoga workshop Yoga4U held at Mona’s tutoring! Yoga encourages children to meet their own personal challenges with compassion, and discover ways to calm their minds and build their mental and physical strength! This workshop we held had a great turnout, in which children of all ages attended! We practiced a 1 hour Gentle Yoga Class including some Pranayama (Breathing Exercise), Stretching & Balancing Yoga Poses & Meditation.
Yoga heals our mind, body and soul. It won’t be wrong to say that this healthy practice helps to maintain sanity in our day to day life. Yoga is believed to be practised for over 5000 years now and people from all walks of life, caste, creed and age have adopted it to lead a happy lifestyle. To mark its importance, International Day of Yoga is celebrated every year on 21 st June. All credit goes to Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who proposed International Day of Yoga. On December 11 th, 2014, the United Nations declared June 21 stJune as the International Day of Yoga, which is now celebrated by different nations. – By Times Entertainment

My name is Gayatri Pathak and I am a certified yoga instructor and Reiki healer.
My spiritual journey began when I was just a little girl in India. I started yoga as a young child with my father, as he was a very spiritual believer and believed in the power of yoga. Since then, yoga has been my passion and I finally decided to become a Yoga Teacher. My motive is to teach traditional and modern Yoga to the community and guide you through your own individual spiritual journey.
Prior to becoming a yoga instructor, I had spent 20 years in the corporate world in the accounting field. I have seen what that type of work stress has on people and how they carry it around on their shoulders, only weighing them down a dark path. I am very passionate about helping other people and uplifting them by teaching them the way down a more positive path. I would like to help people in the corporate world reduce work stress by teaching Yoga at corporate offices. I would also like to help the community, seniors and also children to create a new positive lifestyle that will benefit them emotionally, mentally and physically. I would like to join a studio or also community centers as a yoga instructor to teach yoga and contribute my knowledge of Yoga.
I am a positive person and have seen and absorbed life by learning life lessons that yoga offers. I feel and have seen change in myself since my own Yoga training by practicing Yoga every day. I have learned and truly believe that Yoga is a mindful exercise where you feel each and every move of your body, where you observe each and every breath you take, and where you have a moment to be with your soul.
