Hello I’m Candice

I’m a Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited teacher with a passion for helping ambitious professionals and busy people move from stress and burnout to balance, clarity, and renewed energy.

Having once faced exhaustion and overwhelm myself, I now guide others to reconnect with their wellbeing through yoga, qigong, and mindfulness practices that are both accessible and deeply restorative.

My teaching includes Yoga Nidra, a nourishing practice for rest and rejuvenation, Yin Yoga to calm the mind and cultivate mindfulness, and qigong-inspired movement to restore vitality. I make my classes supportive and inclusive, offering options for all levels, including beginners.

I also teach children’s yoga, blending movement with creativity to inspire confidence, joy, and self-expression in a playful way.

My Regular Classes

Slow somatic movements mixed with Qigong

In China, Qigong is considered a preventative medicine. We will work with the Meridians (energy lines) clearing them from energy blockages.

​You will feel energised, calm and your tensions released.

Beginners level, all levels.

“Yoga with Candice is great! Really enjoyed the yoga with goats in the Summer, this made me want to start a beginners course which included qigong. Loved the slow movements and how it relaxed you with the mindfulness and breathing, very good for your wellbeing. Candice is very informative and lovely lady.”
