Yasodhara Yoga Okanagan

NAMASTE

Welcome to Yasodhara Yoga Okanagan! Discover classes in Hatha Yoga, Hidden Language Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and Dream Yoga.

We offer Yasodhara classes, workshops, retreats, and Satsang to the Okanagan community locally (from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos) at various yoga studios, welcoming venues, small private classes from the homes of generous hosts, and sometimes online through Zoom.

Yasodhara classes and workshops are open to people of all yogic traditions and religions.

We emphasize relaxation and self-inquiry, through the in-depth, integrated approach developed by Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh and brought to the west by Swami Radha.

Please contact us if you live within or near the Okanagan in British Columbia and would like to have a Yasodhara Yoga workshop in your community.

TEACHERS

Ruth Campbell - Summerland

I discovered the work of Swami Radha some 30 years ago. Gradually, through the years my connection with the Yasodhara Ashram has deepened as my understanding of the work grew. As I have said to many, “these teachings have changed my life” and “working with the work makes life worth living”.

I live and teach in Summerland, BC.  As a certified Yasodhara yoga teacher, the classes I offer are Hidden Language Hatha yoga, Dream yoga and Kundalini yoga.

He is very excited to offer the practice to his community in the North Okanagan.
