Hello I’m Candice

I work with people who are tired of being tired. Busy professionals, parents, people carrying a lot, anyone who needs a genuine pause rather than another thing on their to-do list.

After experiencing burnout myself during a demanding career in London, I became deeply committed to practices that restore rather than deplete. Today I teach yoga, Qigong, Yin and Yoga Nidra, gentle, nourishing movement and rest practices that help you release tension, sleep better, and feel more like yourself again.

My classes are calm, inclusive and completely beginner-friendly. You don't need experience, flexibility or fitness. Options are always given, the practice comes to meet you, not the other way around. Come exactly as you are.

Join me for a reset of your body, mind and nervous system with this 3-day guided invitation.

“Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well."

— Judith Hanson Lasater

If exhaustion or overwhelm has been part of your story, there is another way

If life has started to feel relentless, whether through work, family responsibilities or simply the pace of modern living, you are not alone. Feeling exhausted and kaput does not mean you are failing. It usually means your body is asking you to stop and listen.

I know that place well. I spent years burnt out, unable to sleep properly, body aching and stiff as a board. Yoga and qigong changed everything for me. Not because I pushed harder, but because I finally stopped.

That is what I help people do. Slow down, release the pressure that has built up in the body, and find a more sustainable way to live and work. Through gentle movement, breathwork and deeply restorative practices, my classes give you practical tools you can carry into everyday life.

I work with individuals and also with organisations who want to genuinely support their teams, not just tick a wellbeing box. If you are looking for something that makes a real difference, I would love to talk.

No experience needed. No flexibility required. Just come as you are.

My Regular Classes

A flowing, seasonal fusion of yoga and Qigong, playful, nature-inspired movements that build energy, release tension and leave you feeling more alive in your body.

Each term follows a new seasonal theme so the practice is always evolving. Every level welcome, complete beginners especially.

Slow, supported and deeply releasing.

Yin invites you to rest gently into poses while tension dissolves. Yoga Nidra goes even deeper, a guided relaxation with gentle sound healing where you simply lie down and let go. Many students say it's the best rest they get all week.

“I absolutely love this class. Even if I’m feeling fatigued I still go because I know I’ll come out feeling better. Candice is very attentive and aware of everyone’s uniqueness. She always has ways of achieving a pose while maintaining comfort and safety. Extremely beneficial and extremely relaxing.”

“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.”
