Choose the Right Candles
Opt for unscented candles if you want to avoid overpowering fragrances, or use calming scents like lavender or sandalwood for an added layer of relaxation. Choose candles that offer a gentle flicker—tea lights, pillar candles, or even small votives work well. Be mindful of placing candles in safe locations, away from flammable materials.
Set the Mood
Keep your lighting soft. Dim the overhead lights or turn them off entirely. If you have fairy lights or lamps with a soft glow, use those to further enhance the peaceful ambiance. You want the room to feel cozy and inviting
Move Slowly
Candlelight yoga isn’t about rushing through poses or pushing yourself to achieve deep stretches. It’s about slowing down and allowing each movement to be intentional. Explore each posture with curiosity and patience, allowing your body to feel into the shape and the breath.​
