From Stressed to Still: Yoga & Wine

When was the last time you felt truly calm—not distracted, not busy, but completely at ease?

Step away from the constant noise and enter the historic barrel room at The View Winery for a deeply restorative experience designed to help your body slow down, release tension, and shift out of stress mode.

Led by Aleena McKinnon of Buddha Beats Yoga, this gentle, all-levels practice combines slow movement, Yin-inspired postures, intentional breathwork, guided meditation, and extended rest.

There is nothing to accomplish and nowhere else you need to be. Simply arrive, breathe, and allow yourself to soften.

🧘‍♀️ Gentle Movement & Deep Stretching

We’ll begin with slow, mindful movement to release physical tension and help you reconnect with your body.

You’ll then settle into supported postures held for longer periods, giving your muscles time to relax and your entire system an opportunity to slow down.

🌬️ Calming Breathwork

Through simple, accessible breathing practices, Aleena will guide you toward a slower and steadier rhythm.

These techniques are designed to help quiet mental chatter, bring you into the present moment, and support nervous-system regulation.

🌙 Guided Meditation & Extended Rest

The practice will finish with a deeply calming guided meditation and an extra-long savasana.

Wrapped in your blanket inside the rustic barrel room, you’ll be invited to let go of effort and experience the kind of rest that reaches far beyond the physical body.

🍷🍎 Wine & Cider Tasting

After the practice, slowly return and enjoy an included wine and cider tasting from The View Winery.

Sip, connect, and savour locally crafted Okanagan flavours as you ease back into your day feeling grounded and refreshed.
