TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The authorized capital stock of Gaia is 250,000,000 shares, consisting of 150,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of December 11, 2024, there were 18,066,942 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, 5,400,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Capital Stock

Each holder of shares of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or in Gaia’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, all holders of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock vote as a single group on all matters that are submitted to the shareholders for a vote. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the votes of the shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors who stand for election. A required number of shareholders having the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted may consent to an action in writing and without a meeting under certain circumstances.

Shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock are entitled to equal dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Gaia, the shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets remaining after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The outstanding shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock are, and the shares of Class A common stock offered by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of Class B common stock may not be transferred unless converted into shares of Class A common stock, other than certain transfers to affiliates and family members. The shares of Class B common stock are convertible one-for-one into shares of Class A common stock, at the option of the holder of the shares of Class B common stock.

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by Colorado law, to issue at any time up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board may provide for the issuance of the preferred stock in one or more series or classes with designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights determined by the board without any vote or action by the shareholders, although the board may not issue voting preferred stock without the consent or approval of a majority of the Class B common stock. As a result, the board has the power to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no current plans to issue any preferred stock, the issuance of preferred stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire us. Such an issuance could also dilute your voting power.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the shares of Class A common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including:

•	to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•	directly to purchasers, including our affiliates;

•	through agents;

•	through a combination of any of these methods of sale; or

•	through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in a prospectus supplement.

These securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or at negotiated prices. We may also determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

•	the names of any participating underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them, if any;

•	the method of distribution;

•	the purchase price or public offering price of the securities;

•	the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities;

•	any delayed delivery arrangements;

•	any underwriting discounts, commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’, brokers’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation;

•	any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

•	any other material terms of the offering.

Sales Through Underwriters or Dealers

If we use underwriters in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either though underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise set forth in any prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell the securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

We may sell the securities directly, and not through underwriters or agents. We may also sell the securities through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent by us. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best-efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.

Electronic Auctions

We may also make sales through the internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.

Such electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called “real-time” basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder’s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used. Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.

General Information

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or may perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Colorado law provides for indemnification of directors, officers and other employees in certain circumstances (C.R.S. (§) 7-109-101 et. seq.) and for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability for monetary damages of directors under certain circumstances (C.R.S. (§) 7-108-402). Gaia’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation limit the personal liability for monetary damages of directors and provide indemnification to directors and officers of Gaia to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Among other things, these provisions provide indemnification for officers and directors against liabilities for judgments in and settlements of lawsuits and other proceedings and for the advance and payment of reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the director or officer in defense of the lawsuit or proceeding.

Gaia has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain executive officers. These agreements provide that Gaia will indemnify each of its directors and certain executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Gaia maintains a $20,000,000 directors and officers insurance policy providing insurance indemnifying Gaia’s directors and executive officers for certain liabilities. This insurance policy insures the past, present and future directors and officers of Gaia, with certain exceptions, from claims arising out of any error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or breach of duty by any of the directors while acting in their capacities as such. Claims include claims arising from sales and purchases of Gaia securities and shareholder derivative actions.

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)	If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A)	Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)	Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)	Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes, that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, if any, in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gaia, Inc.

Louisville, CO 80027

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Gaia, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, being filed on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration with the SEC and the potential issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”).

As counsel to the Company in connection with the registration with the SEC and the proposed issuance and sale of the Shares, we have examined: (i) the Registration Statement, including the prospectus and the exhibits (including those incorporated by reference), each constituting a part of the Registration Statement, (ii) the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Charter”), (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), (iv) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the registration of the Shares (the “Resolutions”) and (v) such other proceedings, documents and records as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. We have also considered such matters of law and of fact, including the examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records and documents of the Company, certificates of officers, directors and representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below. In our examination of the above-referenced documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all electronic and manual signatures, the authenticity of all documents, certificates, and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and that all Shares will be offered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement (including any and all post-effective amendments thereto), the prospectus, and any applicable prospectus supplements.

The opinion expressed herein is limited in all respects to the laws of Colorado, including all applicable provisions of the Colorado Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws, and the federal laws of the United States of America, and no opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.

Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions stated and in reliance on the statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the opinion that all requisite action necessary to make any Shares covered by the Registration Statement validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable will have been taken when: (a) the Company’s Board of Directors, or a committee thereof duly authorized by the Board of Directors, shall have adopted appropriate resolutions in conformity with the Charter, the Bylaws and the Resolutions authorizing the issuance and sale of such Shares and (b) such Shares shall have been issued and sold for the consideration contemplated by, and otherwise in conformity with, the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement with respect to such issuance and sale, and the acts, proceedings and documents referred to above.

This opinion is issued as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof. This opinion is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no other opinion should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

We consent to your filing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours, /s/ Foley & Lardner LLP

(1)		Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Class A common stock being registered hereunder shall include any additional shares that may become issuable as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that results in an increase in the number of Gaia, Inc.’s outstanding Class A common stock.
(2)		Estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, based on a per share price of $5.91, the average of the high and low sales price of the Registrant’s Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market on December 6, 2024.
(3)		Calculated in accordance with Section 6 of the Securities Act and Rule 457 under the Securities Act by multiplying 0.00015310 and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price.
(4)		The Registrant previously paid a filing fee of $11,499.14 in connection with the registration of up to 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that were previously registered under the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255734) filed on May 3, 2021, as amended on May 21, 2021 (the “2021 Registration Statement”), of which 8,145,000 shares of Class A common stock remain unsold. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the filing fee of $9,366.05 in connection with such $85,848,300.00 of shares of Class A common stock may be offset against the total filing fee due for this registration statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the offering of such 8,145,000 shares of unsold Class A common stock under the 2021 Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the time of the filing of this registration statement.
