Kelowna Yoga House

Sunday September 21 | 3:30pm - 5:30pm with Andrew Misle and Hands on assist by Kelly Day

The Fall Equinox is a natural moment of balance — equal day and night, a turning from the fullness of summer toward the quieter season of fall and winter. On this same day, the world pauses to recognize the International Day of Peace. Both remind us of a simple truth found in yoga: just as each inhale rises and completes, it is in the journey of the exhale that we truly experience its fruits. The exhale carries release, ease, and the possibility of inner peace, a reflection of autumn’s shift from outward growth to inward rest.

In this two-hour practice, we’ll move through the classical limbs of yoga to embody that turning: Āsana (postures), Prāṇāyāma (breathing practice), Pratyāhāra (withdrawal of the senses), Dhāraṇā (concentration), Dhyāna (meditation)

We’ll also share a short reflection on how to connect more deeply with the “fruits of the exhale” — cultivating balance and peace as we cross the threshold into the season of release.
