Move, Breathe, Belong

Where Culture, Movement, and Joy Come Together

Yoga, Azerbaijani and Persian dance in Kelowna

Our Story

Nushana began with a simple question: What if wellness were accessible to everyone — not a luxury, but a birthright?

We are a community-rooted social enterprise weaving together yoga, Azerbaijani and Persian dance, spiritual practice, health and wellbeing, and a deep relationship with nature and the earth.

Through sliding-scale pricing and genuine community care, we create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and truly welcome.

Wellness here is not something you consume. It's something you grow into, together.
