This supportive, strength-based yoga class is created especially for women who want to build strength while improving flexibility, mobility and overall well-being. It is welcoming to those living with injuries or health concerns, as well as anyone moving through stress, grief or a demanding season of life.

Classes are shaped by the needs of the group. Candace welcomes requests and creates practices to address areas such as the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and back while incorporating strength, balance and bone-supportive movement.

More than a workout, this is dedicated time to care for yourself—to breathe deeply, release physical tension, decompress and let go of some of the mental and emotional weight that you may be carrying.

Virtual Yoga continues weekly throughout the year, providing a consistent and familiar practice you can join from home, the lake or while travelling. A recording is emailed each week so you can practise again or that day at a time that suits you.

Time: Wednesdays, 8:45–9:30 a.m.
Dates: September 9–October 21, 2026
