Yoga Work Exchange and Karma Yoga
Kelowna Yoga House is a non- profit society.
We offer student bursaries and have a well established Yoga/Work Exchange program. Yoga/Work exchange students work at the studio in exchange for yoga classes taken. This may include sweeping, mopping, dusting, bathroom cleaning, gardening etc. Talk with your instructor if you are interested in this program.
Much of what happens behind the scenes at Kelowna Yoga House is true Karma Yoga. Karma literally means “action”, and Karma Yoga is defined as “selfless service”. Any action or duty can become Karma Yoga if the fruits of the work are offered to a Higher Purpose. In this spirit, countless hours have been served here at Kelowna Yoga House. We rely on volunteers who give their time to serve on our Board of Directors, committees, and to help out with our various functions. We are passionate about building a community of like-minded individuals with diverse backgrounds.
“We wish to express our continuous gratitude to our benefactor, Margaret Lunam. It is by her generosity of spirit that we have this beautiful studio and vibrant yoga community.”
Bursaries & Community Outreach
Students who are financially unable to pay for classes may apply for a bursary to help pay for a session or workshop. Applications can be obtained from any instructor. Priority is given to students who have shown commitment to the practice of Yoga, as funds are limited.
Please note that we offer a free class once every month on a Sunday. See schedule for dates.
We also provide community outreach. Instructors will come to your work place or community group to provide classes or a workshop sharing the benefits of yoga. Classes for community groups may also be held at the Kelowna Yoga House. Please contact the Kelowna Yoga House for more info.
