Class Q+A: What is Candlelight anyway?

By Mama Bear , In , 9:18 PM

Janet offers up some insight to what Candlelight is all about...and then check out our Candlelight classes on Friday or Sunday at 7pm, $10 for everyone. It's our gift to you to help start or end your week with some reflection and ahhhhh...


“As to the subject of matter, we have all been wrong. What we have called
matter is energy whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the
senses” – Albert Einstein

Since it's Friday evening and we are practicing by candlelight, I typically begin
with meditation and breathing along with simple yoga poses and stretches that internalize the mind’s focus and let go some of the physical and emotional
tension that’s been building up all week (or year!).

Then we bring this awareness into play as we move into a more active asana practice that varies from week to week and is designed to meet the needs of the class while reflecting my personal yoga practice. For example, we might explore each of the movements in a traditional sun salutation at a slow pace. Moving slowly into, through, and out of each asana allows for the skillful use of technique to avoid injuries while building flexibility, endurance, and deep core strength. We always end class by returning to where we began, simply noticing what its like to be you in this body in this moment. Out of this practice there develops a sense of profound vitality, mental clarity and sense of being at ease in your own body.

Candlelight yoga is suitable for new and experienced practitioners alike and is designed to meet the needs of adults of all ages and body types.
