Candace Stevens, LPC,  grew up studying music and dance, was first drawn to yoga through the lyrics of George Harrison in high school. She studied Philosophy in college and is interested in exploration of meaning, consciousness, the nature of reality and creativity. This exploration deepened with the study of Clinical Psychology in graduate school while concurrently going through her first yoga teacher training, where she became deeply fascinated by the mind body connection. 

Her background in—and love of—music, dance, and philosophy combines with her trauma-sensitive, meaning-centered approach to yoga to create a powerful container for deep transformation.

 Her teaching is strongly influenced by her work as a mental health therapist, and she sees the practice of yoga as a way to deepen mental and emotional connection and healing. Class themes are often tied to the cycles of nature. She loves to lead speciality workshops and hold retreats to facilitate deeper experiences. In addition to vinyasa, Candace loves teaching yoga nidra, yin, restorative, and a fusion of yoga and dance. 

She is a poodle enthusiast, loves the desert, and deeply enjoys napping on the couch.

Candace currently teaches Slow Flow and Vinyasa regularly at Camaraderie, in addition to monthly community offerings around mental health including her year-long container - Beyond the Shadow: A Journey Toward Wholeness Through Psychology, Somatic Practice + Ancient Wisdom.

She also offers a variety of workshops focused around movement, creativity and expression. *For her upcoming trainings, filter by class style below.
