Candlelight Yoga with Catherine & Melissa

Offered on the first Sunday of every month, this yoga experience begins with active, engaging poses designed to warm and energize the body, cultivating strength, focus, and vitality. The practice then gently transitions into slow, deep stretches that release tension, open the body, and calm the mind. Drawing on the harmonious interplay of yang and yin energy, the session balances dynamic movement with restful stillness. Set in a serene and peaceful environment, the practice encourages grounding, relaxation, and an overall sense of harmony, supporting a centered and balanced start to the month ahead.

Everyone is Welcome Here

All bodies, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. No prior experience is necessary. There is never a cost. 

What to Bring

Please consider wearing comfortable, layered clothing and bringing any practice supports you enjoy - mat, blocks, straps, bolsters, or blankets. Community practice supports are available, and you’re encouraged to use them freely. Bringing water to hydrate after practice is also a good idea.

This Practice is Not Sold

This practice is not sold. It’s shared. Our offerings exist through voluntary giving - as a living expression of the community we are. What we receive is made possible by the many who have given before us, and what we offer allows the practice to remain unowned and open.

Giving is part of yoga practice - not as a duty, but as a remembering. When we give, the grip of “me and mine” loosens. The patterns of separation and self-importance are disrupted. We step out of self-absorption - the root of suffering - and feel into the truth of interconnectedness. Every act of giving dissolves a boundary. The giver and the receiver are not two. This is how the practice continues - through open hands and open hearts.
