2022 - 2023 Reflection ✨

A love note to the Sukha Sangha from Mark ❤️

Thank you for your messages of love and support. It is times like these one is able to witness true community and love. Sukha is a community first…sometimes we practice asanas, sometimes have tea and chat about life, and sometimes we are quiet and at all times we support each other. It’s all yoga. I am in a deep state of grief and sadness and simultaneously can feel so much love from all directions.

My Dad was one of the sweetest souls ❤️ As I sit with the intensity of pain from this sudden loss, I just keep repeating to myself what a sweet man he was and I love you Dad. I am so thankful for his love, care and support. Never did we end a conversation without an “I love you”. From my earliest memories I can remember he’d hold my had across the bench seat of his truck, all the way til adulthood across the armrest he’d take my hand. Always a peck on the lips and the warmest of hugs. I am so thankful that I was able to tell him one last time, thank you and I love you Dad. I will carry his sweetness with me and continue to share it will all. I love you Dad.

Xo, Mark ❤️

Hey Sukha Fam! My name is Gemma Parmar, I’m a new teacher at Sukha Yoga! 🥰 I’ll be teaching Yin & Restore Tuesday nights @7:30pm until Nov. and Kundalini Meditation on Thursdays @4:30pm.

A little about me & my journey - I feel it starts back in dance class as a kid. Something about being in a group of people, moving together, celebrating with our bodies & energies, to all different genres of music and aspects coming from many traditions & cultural filled me with joy!

In college, I stopped dancing but still craved the group environment so I became a group fitness instructor. After college, I felt pretty lost without community. Trying to find myself in the real world, I landed in Austin, which is when Sukha divinely entered my life and my deeper yogic practice began.

The first time I felt safe enough to cry & laugh on my mat (ifyky 🥹) was what opened my mind to the possibilities yoga had to offer. When I learned breath of fire, I learned that I had an inverted breathing pattern further contributing to my anxiety. When I tried singing mantra for the first time, I learned I was really scared to speak up for myself.

This practice has helped me get sober, move through trauma, remember what it feels like to be alive, & find my joy again 🦋🤸‍♀️

It really doesn’t matter what style of yoga we are doing - I love it all!! I find it poetic how many cultural lineages have created mind, body, & energy healing practices that can help us in many areas of our life!

I like to encourage my students to be curious, playful, soft & gentle. I love to combine Qigong with Yin & dance/sound with Kundalini so people can find their own style, what lights them up. It’s about finding the practice that our own heart awakens to.

If I’m not teaching, you can find me or taking class with you ✨ I’m in a season of life where I’m slowing down, taking in each moment of joy that I can. Even when life shifts, our practice is always here.

I hope to breathe & be with you soon 🙏🏽✨🦋🤸🏽‍♀️
