Enjoy a Beautiful Article based on a recent interview requested by a Reporter interested in the Beginnings of Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Burlington and the Yoga Day Celebrations!
We celebrated Burlington’s 10 Years with Sahaja Yoga Meditation on Canada Culture Day!
But first, let’s go to our Roots in Burlington and later share with You the Events we prepared for our 20th Anniversary of Burlington’s Sahaja Yoga Meditation and International Yoga Day
Allow us to provide you with a few more details about our Beginnings that you cannot find in the Local News
We started the first Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes 20 years ago at the Brant Hills community center.
Our family just moved to Burlington in 2005, and only a few months later we decided to offer the first free meditation and yoga classes available in the city, by teaching Sahaja Yoga Meditation weekly, in the evening, at the Brant Hills Community center.
That Community center was opened in the same year! One can notice the synchronicity in the new beginnings for the City of Burlington and for our family of Romanian immigrants. Later, we found out that this Community center was bearing the name of Joseph Brant – the founder of Burlington (details here).
In May 2025, Anjali and Ioana – SYMN volunteers – met with the Mayor of Burlington to discuss our 5-day Marathon of Free Wellness Events with the occasion of the International Yoga Day 2025 and Burlington’s 20th Anniversary offering Sahaja Yoga Meditation

I am grateful for the opportunity of getting to know a beautiful person and a talented journalist during this interview focused on the history (the beginnings and its 20th anniversary) of Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Burlington. It’s truly amazing to see how the essence of our one hour long conversation was so perfectly reflected in the title of the Article and in the quotes that were captured. Thank you Kezia and Burlington Local News for your interest and support for our Team of volunteers!
It was lovely to see that Hamilton Spectator also captured the Article about:

In case you missed the News about Burlington City’s Proclamation for June 20, 2025 as “Sahaja Yoga Meditation Day“, make sure you’re taking a look at this article:
We hope to see you soon! We don’t have photos with the entire Halton Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of volunteers, because we have often and many events in all the corners of our extended community therefore we operate with small and effective “Cultivators of Joy” teams. Visit us where we are offering free workshop regularly OR invite us at your place too!
Either way, you will not regret it! Quite the opposite, you might get a Seed of Joy!
We thank Shri Mataji for “Cooking with Love” and “delivering” Sahaja Yoga Meditation to the Mankind for Self-Realization leading to Inner Peace and Joy, and hopefully to Global Peace
