The Kelowna Yoga House was established through a generous donation by Margaret Lunam. Today we remain so grateful to the woman of vision for the Kelowna Yoga House.
Students and visitors walking through the gate of Kelowna Yoga House look inquisitively at the rusty shovel bearing the name of Margaret Lunam at the entrance of its garden. Inside the main studio they read the triangular wooden plaque dedicated to Margaret Lunam: A WOMAN OF VISION, and wonder: Who was this woman?
In 1999 Margaret bought the property at 1272 St. Paul Street and in 2001 the Kelowna Yoga House opened its doors. This would be a permanent studio, a permanent home for Iyengar Yoga in the Okanagan, a gift to the yoga community. Through Margaret’s generosity and vision, our yoga community continues to grow 20 years on. 2021 is the twentieth year that the Kelowna Yoga House has been in operation and this is indeed an auspicious year.
Kelowna Yoga House was the vision of Margaret Lunam, a woman who was determined to fulfill her dream and who was never deterred.
