Candace, you have saved me today. I have been feeling so anxious and depressed. For the moment I feel calm and the anxiety has left me Thank you. xo
I'm honored to be a part of your practice!
I've been watching this video since 2019 and it still works wonders for me after a chaotic work week! Thank you!
I too have blood cancer and have been using this video the three years I’ve had it. It’s tragic how few restorative yoga leaders there are. Bless you for this gift candace
I am recovering from a debilitating chronic illness and have searched through tons of yoga and meditation videos. This is a very soothing, comforting video. I have found it very helpful!
It was first ever yoga yt video for me after it clicked. And The whole new story begun. Remember i was feeling down and my body was in pain at that time of life but when i did happy baby pose i was laughing. Thank you Candice for being here in this universe.
This is just what my body and mind needed- been struggling with adrenal fatigue and needed a slow, and gentle practice. Thank you- Namaste.
+PoweredByChocolate You're so welcome, take good care of yourself.
+Yoga by Candace I am, there's going to be a lot of restorative and yin yoga for the next couple of months! been looking through your videos to see what to try next. 🙏
I haven't done yoga in over a year, and was desperate for some restorative. I REALLY didn't think that youtube would be good enough, but this was great. Thank you!
I have had knee pain for nearly two months. I have been doing this video every day for two weeks and it is nearly gone, thanks so much!
+Sherri McCann Amazing! I'm so happy for you, Sherri!
This is perfect for my EDS. I have been trying to find a yoga that is light and doesn't injure my joints, and this is just right :)
Hi Candace,
I love this video and have been doing it over the past several years. You have a nice teaching style and a soothing voice. Thank you.
Ah thanks so much. This is suuuuch an old video but I love to hear it still resonates.
Your voice is wonderfully soothing. I'm going to start doing your videos as a way to get back into my yoga practice, which has been more or less nonexistent since I had my first child nearly 8 years ago. I really appreciated the language and pace you used. Very affirming and accepting. Thank you for sharing what you have found for yourself. :-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a message. I really appreciate it and am so glad that you found the video helpful. Please let me know if you ever have any video requests, and feel free to check out my blog for more yoga tips at www.yogabycandace.com. Happy to help. :)
This practice was absolutely what I needed. Had a very stressful conversation before practicing. Can't thank you enough for how I feel.
Shoveled snow for three hours today and this restorative routine helped stretch all the right places. I think I need to do it twice ☺️
+Judy Taylor Shoveling is TOUGH work!! I hope this helped!
Why would anyone dislike a *free* yoga video? If you don't like it, you don't need to watch it *eye roll*. Love your videos, Candace!
I have severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am in the midst of a major life change however once that settles I plan to get some good stretching movement into life. My niece who has her own challenges recommended Yoga.
I watched his video thinking it might work for me.
I made this video a Face Book favorite d wrote this:
"Wow- just listening to her as I reviewed this for potential use I went into such a state of relaxation I was totally ready for bed at the end.
She has a wonderful voice ad rhythm.
Seeing her body so relaxed as she spoke ad slowly went through the positions relaxed my own body.
I am going to begin a home Yoga/stretching/moving meditation once I get beyond this current flare up and this may be the one.
For those of you in chronic pain, you might want to watch this for relaxa...tion even if you cannot do the motions.
Enjoy!"
Thank you so much Candace. I feel so relaxed I gam going to bed for a good nights sleep.
Anastasia Rose Wow thank you so much for sharing. I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to deal with all you're going through. Sending strength your way.
My mind and body were desperately in need of restoration and This was helpful for me today. so gentle and calming. thank you.
You're so welcome, thank you so much for leaving a message
I especially enjoy your sessions because you don't play any music during them. Gets me much more relaxed.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah I have a lot of people comment on the lack of music (usually complaining about it, haha) but I figure people can put on their own music at home, and I won't get hit with copyright infringement, win-win for everyone!
Same! The brain actually benefits greatly from silence. A study showed that even relaxing music is not as relaxing to the brain as silence.
Omg....my 1st time trying yoga and it was great!! I was diagnosed with R.A. and my MD recommended me to try yoga.....I love it and I feel great!!! Thank you!!
You truly are gifted! You made me completely relaxed. Namaste
+LaRonica Southerland I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this, LaRonica!
Thank you! I can easily follow with my eyes closed. Excellent instruction.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm glad it was helpful.
Found you in the nick of time during covid pandemic. You made a gift to the world!
I've been so physically limited due to my health issues arising for these last 6 months and this video was the perfect way for someone to hop back into yoga and meditate. Your voice is so calm and soothing, thank you for the video!
So glad to hear it!
My husband and I do this workout every morning before work. It feels great every time, never gets old!
Loved the gentle stretches and breathing, no rush just time for yourself. Thank you, Candace.
You're very welcome!
Thanks!! The best yoga sesh on RUclips. Most go through positions too fast.
+Alex L Thanks so much! Just watch what type of yoga you're doing. I get a lot of complaints on other videos that I am "too fast." I'm not, and it's likely the others aren't either - the style of yoga people comment on with these complaints is vinyasa, which literally means "flow" - it's meant to be quick paced. If you're looking for a slower style in which you really feel a stretch with each pose and get to breathe in each pose for a minute or so, search for something like this video, which is restorative yoga. You can also search for hatha or yin yoga - those styles are all very slow. You can read more about that here: yogabycandace.com/blog/2016/3/21/the-number-one-complaint
this is an amazing practice because even tho it's pretty easy it creates a lasting effect which doesn't happen with many routines that don't push hard. Candace guides you in detail and it might be those small things that really make the difference. Whatever it is, it's great - I love love love it.
This was lovely! I spent all day yesterday in a hospital waiting room and I didn't realize how stiff my lower back was from sitting all day. Thank you! Great narration and instruction. I love how you are clear about what my body should be doing.
+Heather Harlen Aw I hope everything is okay. So glad this was helpful to you.
Wow, that was fantastic! I was flat in bed from pain and fatigue and rested until late this afternoon. Decided to try restorative yoga to assist me to find healing. I feel so much better, completely at peace calm. Thank you Candace
+Vanessa Riordan I'm so grateful to be a part of your healing journey! Hope you feel better soon!
Candance I want to thank you for all that you do. I have been practicing with you for a while. This morning I was feeling anxiety and anxiousness before I started working out. I wanted to first congratulate you on your new book. Restoring your body is very important. You have helped me get through some tough moments. I may not be where I want to be however, practicing these methods will help me to recover from this back pain. In some places I found it very tender however I am still working through it . Candance I can't thank you enough for all your help. Now each day because of you my body is turning back into place. Thanks again☺☺☺☺❤❤❤❤
Tried this with pain in my lower back and neck, felt like blood rushing afterwards, felt great :) Been stiff since the day after, but will continue to see. You have a nice soft voice
+ryvaenge So glad to hear you felt a difference!
After a weekend of copious amounts of "beverages" and other vice related activities, this really helped detoxify my soul of the toxic sludge. Thanks!!
Yes! Glad to hear it!
I am a ski instructor part-time. After a full day this is wonderful to stretch out and restore my muscles. Thank you for posting this.
+JMauersberg Woo, I'm so glad to hear you liked this after a long day on the slopes!
Much required slow down time! Thanks for bringing reminding me to restore my soul every week!! Namaste!
You're so welcome, Cathy!
Thank you. Just what I needed after two days of work in my restaurant. Meditated for 15 mins before then completed your wonderful practice. Feel revived after the weekend. Namaste
So glad to hear it, Rachel!
I've been trying to heal my diastasis recti (seperation of the abdominal muscles after a pregnancy) and this was a great way to release my obliques (which helps to allow that separation to heal). Thanks so much for all your attention to posture and keeping the back to the mat, neck long, etc. I appreciate the spirit of this calming & centering practice!
+Jeana Maynard Thanks, Jeana!
Thank you so very much for this practice. I have done it over and over, finding peace and connection each time. You are a true gift.
Michelle C You are so kind to take the time to write such sweet words. Thank you so much for your support - I am so glad the video is helpful to you.
Thank you. A lovely calming and gentle yoga practice, i loved it x
So glad to hear you enjoyed!
I'm glad to see so many other people have also enjoyed this video. I have chronic lyme disease and am living in a stressful situation. This daily practice helps to calm my nerves and bring my mind to rest. Thank you.
Michelle, you may want to check out my book Namaslay. I suffered from Lyme disease for 2+ years, and 4+ years recovering. It's a horrible disease, but I believe recovery and cure is totally possible (at least, it was for me). Sending you good vibes as you continue to heal. xo
Can you tell me more about your book? Can you tell me more about how you cured the Lyme infection?
This is one of my favorite Yoga videos for stretching, meditating and for starting a new bright day. Thank you Candace for taking the time to make this and for sharing it with us.
Still my favouite restorative yoga relaxation session Thank you so much!
I really needed that body/mind connection tonight. I have neglected my need for meditation and serenity in my thoughts for a very long time. Your video was soothing and relaxing. Thank you
Charlene Thorson
I am locked in a battle with ataxia and I have finally found a yoga routine that I can manage without falling. Thank you. I would love to hear more about restorative yoga!
love this one. Thank you! Getting me started on right path.
So glad to hear you enjoyed this, Lisa!
did this in the morning. I have fibro as well as a knee and hip injury I had a couple years back. This video was so great and relaxing and well explained so I knew exactly what to pay attention to. It provided great relief and did great stretching for my lower back &legs & was very relaxing to start my day with!
So happy to hear it, Jessica, thanks so much for letting me know!
Just found your channel tonight. I was diagnosed with MS about a year ago and had heard that yoga could help with the symptoms. I found a yoga routine on my cable station and have noticed that the numbness I experience does lessen when I have done yoga. I like that you have choices in 15-30 minutes blocks. I enjoyed your instruction and will return to try other lessons. THANKS
So glad you found my channel, Brandi! Let me know if you ever have a request or yoga question, and feel free to check out more at facebook.com/yogabycandace and www.yogabycandace.com. I'm happy to help!
Outstanding gentle practice. Your verbal instruction was wonderful!
Thank you so much for your feedback. Please let me know on my site www.yogabycandace.com if you ever have a video request - I'm happy to help.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have been recovering from a debilitating illness and this yoga sequence really is helping me and my body heal. Thank you so much!!
ive subscribed to alot of vloggers and video game youtubers. recently i came across your channel, gave some of your videos a shot to start my day, and i gotta say, i look forward to more yoga with you.
Thanks so much for the kind words. New vids post every Tuesday, so stay tuned for more :)
i shall, of course being a 25 year old male, i dont have much need for the yoga for pms and stuff like that. :)
I love love love this one Candace. I go back to it often when I need something calming but opening. Thank you for your gentle practise and sensitive guidance. Namaste ❤️
Candace that was so relaxing! I'm barely two weeks new to yoga so definitely beginner level, but wanting to incorporate yoga for my training for my marathon in December. My current work schedule doesn't allow for me to make many classes at my gym so these videos are really beneficial to me. Your voice is really calming.
Joseph Zambrano Thanks so much for the feedback. Yoga is a great supplement for running. I have a post-run yoga flow you might like: yogabycandace.com/blog/2013/6/7/gentle-post-run-yoga-sequence Best of luck in your marathon!
Yoga by Candace Trying it out tonight. Just finished my light 3 mile run earlier. :)
Commenting one more time...did this after a wild week (my GI disorder went into remission/then got dumped). This practice works wonders for me. and now that i am better, i am trying to thank the many "internet people" who helped me stay relatively sane, healthy & hopeful. So thank you...your videos have had a big place in my recovery :) if i had emojis, i would insert something more enthusiastic!
+Heather Torrence You're so amazing, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a kind message. Big hugs.
I love your videos! I am a yoga newbie but I am enjoying learning with your videos. Thank you
***** thanks for the love! let me know if you ever have a video request - happy to help if i can!
Oh My Gosh, I did not realize how tight my back was until I did this routine. The build in stress in my neck, back, and hips had me locked up unknowingly like a Frankenstein. The difference between how I felt before and after was night and day. It truly restored my energy. Thank you so much. And I would recommend to anyone to try it.
I'm so glad it was helpful - isn't it amazing what a gentle stretch can do?! Love it. Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to submit your yoga questions or requests on facebook.com/yogabycandace or my website - www.yogabycandace.com.
Really enjoyed this video! You are so calm, clear in instructions and love the visual reference - it helps a lot! I have very bad neck/jaw issues and this is really helping me. Thank you so much - you are great!
1Jelly1bean1 Oh nice, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this and that the video was helpful to you!
I've been away from workouts for a month or so now, and I started back today with some cardio and your yoga session...very restorative for my muscles that were stuck on a place for 20+ hours! It also helps that you are such a beautiful woman!
*on a plane
So glad that it was helpful - omg 20+ hours on a plane?! Wowwww
Love, love, and love this video. I love Candace....she is truly amazing. Thank you, Candice.Namaste.

jennie Mclennan I'm so glad to hear that - you may also want to try the yin yoga video - it's also very gentle :)

My meditation class was cancelled today so I was frustrated and grumpy. Thanks for this video, it totally relaxed me and got me thinking positively to face the day!
Hollie House Aw sorry to hear your class was cancelled, but so happy you found and enjoyed this video!
Thank you so much for this session. I have Graves' disease and I am weak and need to keep my elevated heart rate regulated - still I have to move even a bit...
never done yoga before and was looking for something soft and healing to deeply stretch and move my body parts without props- to practice on a daily basis and your practice is perfect for my condition !
I am glad I found it and hope to see even more restorative sessions on your channel :)

This is a beautiful video with great instruction. I am so glad that so many people have founs thia helpful. While it is more gentle yoga than restorative, it felt good. It is mildly energizing. Thank you!
I love this mindful practice. Very grounding when my mind is too busy.

Very soothing and relaxing practice. Love it. Thanks
Thanks for letting me know!
That was just what I needed! I am recovering from surgery and was just given the all-clear for activity as tolerated. My core and hips/thighs are very tight and this helped me to relax and stretch gently and effectively. Thank you.
Connie May You're so welcome! Wish you a speedy recovery!
Wow! I have had back problems for a while using a computer all day and this has really helped. Hopefully I can keep using it and improving in the future! Thank you so much!

I just found this video today. Its perfect. Very simple and easy to follow for beginners. It's just beautiful💙 amazing! Thank you so much for sharing💙
Thanks for the relaxing spine work. It was just what this SAHM needed while my LO was napping.
Yeahhh! Good for you for taking care of yourself while your little one snoozes! SAHMs work so hard, so I'm thrilled to hear you're having some "me time"!
Love this video. I like your presentation, pace, directions and calm voice. Thank you.
Oh my! That circling legs around child pose (if that makes sense) felt sooooo good on my back! I am just generally tired today so I was looking for something chilled to either ease me into moving exercise wise or ease me into doing some other stuff. It seems to have done the job a bit :)
FluidlyWillful I looooooove that circling legs thing! I hope you feel fab now!
Thank you Candace! I was able to do the whole practice with my eyes closed, because of your clear instructions. :-)
So happy to hear that!

Soph
Thanks, Sophie, for watching and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I'm so glad this was helpful for you.
Love this. I was feeling very negative today & this calm my spirit & made my spirit peaceful.
+Dennise Chanlele I'm so glad this uplifted you, Dennise. Wishing you a lovely day.
Great to come home and do this, to take me away from the hectic holiday season. Thank you!
Loved this flow! I have been completing quite of few of your videos here lately and have really been enjoying them. The videos are easy to follow and are just great! Thank you!
This is really benifit for me, thanks you for suggesting me this one, I would like to practice about knee joints, and leg strenghting.
I've only just found this, but what an amazing practice. I felt so relaxed and centred by the end. I usually don't like restorative practices as they're too easy, but this was simply lovely.
Thanks Candace, this was nice!
Thank you Candace, just what I needed to feel restored from a stressful Monday! I am always tempted to go towards stronger practice but doing this makes me appreciate that these gentler practice's are equally as giving. Inspired :)
Charlotte Ross You're so welcome, Charlotte - glad to hear you enjoyed this.
Love this praksis..... have done it more than 1 year ....many times. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
This was PERFECT. I got hit with a real bad stomach virus which kept me off the workout scene and in bed for 3 days. I needed something gentle to loosen me up since I was finally feeling better. This was fantastic. Thank you. ;) You caught a new subscriber!
+Jeanne Phoenix I'm so glad you found me! Thanks for subscribing and I wish you a super speedy recovery!
Such a nice session, thanks for sharing this :) I like your videos because they are very peaceful and calming, I wasn't able to do yoga for a while and this was the first session I did after injury. Missed it a lot, but now I can do this few times a week, starting slowly. Namaste :)
Kaja Osojnik Thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad this is helpful to you!
excellent sequences for someone recovering from a long illness :)
