Yoga and Qigong to Feel Calmer & Restore Your Energy - Tonbridge and Online

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

— Judith Hanson Lasater

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 and Qigong (a bit like Tai Chi), gentle, nourishing movements and rest practices that help you release tension, sleep better, and feel more like yourself again.

My classes are calm, inclusive and beginner-friendly. You don't need experience, flexibility or even strength. Options are always offered, the practice comes to meet you, not the other way around.

My Regular Classes

Slow pace, seasonally themed, fusion of yoga and Qigong (a bit like Tai Chi), nature-inspired movements that build energy, release tension and leave you feeling more connected with your body.

Each term follows a new seasonal theme so the practice is always evolving. Beginners friendly.

Slow, supported and deeply releasing. Beginners level. Start with movements, then Yin to stretch and melt tensions. Deep Rest with sound healing to finish, a guided relaxation where you lie down and let go. Many 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.”

Private 1:1 sessions

Tonbridge, Zoom or in your own home.

Sometimes a group class isn't what you need. Perhaps you're running on empty, recovering from burnout, or just want practice that fits your body and your busy life.

Private sessions give you my full attention. You'll step into my beautiful studio in Tonbridge surrounded by nature, with a session carefully prepared for you before you have even arrived. You'll be listened to and your needs attended to. You'll leave refreshed, with a short routine you can do between sessions.

A Space To Exhale

Whether it’s a weekly class or a full retreat day, my hope is always that people leave feeling more grounded, restored, and connected. These videos share a little of that experience.
