Peaceful Lion Yoga

I am currently practicing yoga with Candice. Because of my weight and my age I really needed the one-​on-​one attention that private lessons can provide. It had been years since I had practiced and I was terrified of what I would be able to do. I also wanted to make sure I was doing the poses correctly as to not cause more injury to myself.
Candice gave me (and still does!) everything I needed. She is patient (hence the «peaceful») but she pushes me a little (hence the «lion’). So many times I think I am going to just quit in the middle of a session and then somehow she gently guides me through the pose.
In the beginning, she took a thorough assessment of my needs and limitations. She even spends her own time in sending me «homework» or suggestions on things to work on in between sessions.
Sometimes, the sessions are «work». There are times I build up a good sweat. I can already tell that I am building up strength in my arms and legs. Other times, the session is gentle and calming. Perfect for those stressful work weeks. Candice is mindful of my needs and she plans each session according to them. We even have fun, as Candice is like a «spirited fairy» and she seems to embrace life that way too. Practicing yoga is perfect way for me to stretch and connect to my body. I learned that yoga is considered a «weight bearing» exercise which is what all women need for healthy bones.
The bonus for me is the meditation that accompanies the beginning and ending of every session. I needed to find my way back to meditation and this allows me that peace.
She has a great «introductory» offer and I highly recommend it to anyone considering beginning or returning to yoga. And I believe she occasionally holds classes. I take classes at my gym with another instructor once in a while, but nothing compares to the private sessions with Candice. It always helps to center me and life is always good at the end of every session.
(i look forward to attending her sessions at the park!)
Namaste.

Candice is a wonderful instructor. She took me on as a neophyte to the process and worked with me on a personal physical issue. She really did help and now I am Hooked on Yoga. Thanks, Candice

Candice is an amazing teacher. She very much lives up to her practice’s name, being peaceful as the fairies in spring, but also strong as a lion. I have taken her private yoga classes, which are amazing one-​on-​one lessons. She really gets into the poses and helps you with your form. I’ve also taken her yoga in the park lessons which is a group environment class, but being out in nature and doing yoga is a perfect combination to attain the peace within you. I love yoga now and Candice is one of the reasons I do. She’s the most supportive and positive spirit I know and I hope you take her classes so she can change your life too!

Candice loves yoga and loves sharing it with everyone she meets. I always enjoy her classes and especially like her yoga in the park sessions.

This was the first yoga class I ever went to, had a great time! Candice made it really easy for beginners with a nice pace that doesn’t make you feel lost with your feet behind your head. Plus the location is really nice and peaceful.

I love Peaceful Lion Yoga! Candice is a natural teacher and has that magical yoga teacher presence that is so calming and pleasant to be around :) The classes in the park are so beautiful, especially for a city-​dweller, and are a great combination of a real workout and also calming peaceful/​centering exercises.
