Kelowna Radha Yoga Centre is in transition. I am completing my work with the homeless in downtown Kelowna and preparing to spend the winter at the Ashram taking the Yoga Development Course. Elizabeth MacLeod is now teaching hatha classes in Mara – 1/2 north of Kelowna.

It’s been an eventful Autumn at Kelowna Radha Center. We began with a victory Satsang on September 26th. Everybody brought symbols of personal victories in a spirit of gratitude and as a step to opening up to further change and expansion. It was a meaningful way to honour the power of the teachings and what we have been given - to recognize that we can move forward in our lives.

On Saturday, October 1st students from Kelowna, Peachland, Kamloops, Fernie and Mara participated in a “Spirit and Nature Dancing Together” Hatha Yoga the Hidden Language retreat that took place in Mara Community Hall. Elizabeth said she was delighted to “share where my roots have spread with former and new students.”

On the weekend of October 28 and 29th five students from Kelowna, Winfield, Peachland and Summerland converged upon Camp Owaissi for our 3rd annual yoga retreat. We began our retreat with an evening Satsang, setting the tone for the weekend which included Hidden Language, karma yoga, dream yoga, sacred dance, an uphill hike, and a pilgrimage through the outdoor labyrinth and chapel. Patricia Smith said about the weekend, “I came home lightened, relaxed and rejuvenated!” Echoing this, Christine Wilson said, “It was another "wonder"-ful time of light and inspiration.”
