She is dedicated to creating spaces and shaping communities. She moves through the world with a lightness that belies her strength and resilience; behind her unfaltering smile and quiet graceful way is a sharp mind and dedicated spirit. Her strong, skillful Vinyasa based classes in their reverence to alignment principles and traditional philosophies, reflect this grace and dedication to the practice and her community. She completed her first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 with Randelle Lusk, who gave her a solid foundation in the anatomy and philosophy of the practice, as well as imparting a rare kind of creative and free flowing Vinyasa sequencing style that is still a prominent thread of her classes today. She completed her 500 hour under Janet Stone, and has also trained extensively with Ryan Leier, Srivatsa Ramaswami, and Tiffany Cruishank. She opened Cornerstone Yoga Collective in 2017. Founded on the notion of community, Cornerstone encourages the free expression of its teachers and the unique unfurling inner journey of each and every student. It is a space which reflects in its very foundations the creativity, dedication, and simple grace Candace brings to all aspects of her life. Since 2018, Candace has been offering 200 hour Vinyasa trainings. She continues to be a devoted student herself; dedicated to sharing Yoga, and encouraging her students to meet each moment with curiosity, humility, and grace.
