Anaya Girap
(BKin)
Anaya grew up in Calgary and graduated with a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario in 2025. With a lifelong passion for movement, she began dancing at a young age and later taught dance to her peers, an experience she hopes to continue by volunteering her time to share the joy of physical activity with others. Her love of dance naturally connected with her academic interests, inspiring her to explore how movement supports health and well-being.
During her studies, Anaya volunteered with physiotherapists and a fitness instructor specializing in prenatal and postpartum care. This experience highlighted the importance of creating healthier lifestyles for women during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and it deepened her commitment to raising awareness about women’s health, particularly pelvic health. She hopes to pursue a career in physiotherapy with a focus on pelvic health, where she can support individuals in their rehabilitation and empower women throughout their pregnancy journey.
Outside of her professional pursuits, Anaya enjoys dancing hip-hop and contributes her creativity to a student- led dance initiative based in Toronto as part of the branding/marketing team. She also enjoys cooking, exploring new places, and documenting her adventures through vlogging.
