Kelowna isn’t just known for its scenic lake views and sun-drenched vineyards; it’s also a hotspot for wellness enthusiasts, yogis and anyone looking for a peaceful pause in the great outdoors during the warmer months.  

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or trying yoga for the first time, Kelowna’s outdoor yoga community offers the perfect blend of movement and nature. From winery lawns to city parks and lakeside sessions, here are some top spots and upcoming events.  

Yoga in the Vineyards

It can be a grounding experience as you move through your sun salutations, surrounded by lush vines. Several wineries around Kelowna host yoga events outdoors during the warmer months, which are often paired with wine tastings or post-session snacks. Here are a few ongoing events that can inspire you on your next trip:

The View Winery

Select Saturday mornings 

In spring, The View Winery's lineup of events includes everything from flows in the candlelit Barrel Room to open-air vineyard salutations hosted by Buddha Beats Yoga.

Held on the weekends, these events are a chance to slow down, savour the moment and soak in the scenery. After the session, reward yourself with a well-deserved treat featuring a delightful selection of wines and cider, carefully chosen to complement your post-yoga bliss.

Priest Creek Family Estate Winery

Every other weekend beginning in Spring

Priest Creek Family Estate Winery offers Yoga in the Vineyards, a 60-minute invigorating vinyasa flow led by a certified yoga teacher and personal trainer. Set among the vines, the experience invites guests to move, breathe, and fully settle into the moment. After the session, unwind with a well-earned glass of bubbly and soak up the vineyard views, a refreshing and rejuvenating way to begin the day in one of Kelowna’s most scenic settings.

Find Your Flow in Kelowna’s Parks

Kelowna’s beaches and parks are the perfect setting to roll out your mat and enjoy yoga surrounded by nature—whether you’re practising solo, flowing with a group of friends, or joining a group class.

During the warmer months at Stuart Park, Sunset Yoga, a free outdoor community event, invites you to slow the pace and move with intention as the day winds down. Led by a qualified instructor, this welcoming outdoor class is open to all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Bring your own mat, settle in by the waterfront, and ease into a calming flow set against one of Kelowna’s most picturesque sunset backdrops. Keep up to date on future events on the City of Kelowna's Community Events Calendar.

Waterfront Park is a downtown favourite with lake views and wide-open space, perfect for energizing morning movement. Strathcona Park, nestled near Pandosy, offers a quieter lakeside setting with shade trees—ideal for a calming solo session.

Beasley Park, farther south in the Mission, has a spacious field great for group flows. Boyce-Gyro Beach Park provides a breezy lakeside lawn where you can stretch out under the sun or unwind in the shade.  

If you're craving a more elevated experience, Knox Mountain Park offers stunning lookout points that make for unforgettable yoga spots. Bring a mat and enjoy your flow above the city!

Tips for Practicing Yoga in the Park 

• Bring your own mat or towel as the ground can be uneven or dewy in the mornings. 

• Check our Events Calendar, as many local instructors and studios host drop-in or donation-based yoga in these spaces during spring and summer. 

• Hydrate and wear layers as the Okanagan sun can sneak up on you, even during a gentle flow! 

Time to Roll Out Your Mat

Kelowna’s outdoor yoga scene is as diverse as the landscapes that surround it. Whether you're unrolling your mat beside the lake, beneath the trees or among rows of vines, you’ll find a unique sense of peace that only nature can offer. With free classes, community events and creative spaces, there’s no better time to explore yoga under the Okanagan sky. 

Heads up: Most outdoor sessions are BYOM (bring your own mat) and weather-dependent, so check in with the host or studio’s social media before heading out.
