Why We Make All Our Own Candles At The Studio

During classes especially autumn and winter classes we have candles and essential oil therapy in the background doing their work of subtly relaxing yogis and purifying the air.

We use pure beeswax which we leave pure in our candles and tealights to let their gentle fragrance naturally delight us. Beeswax candles are known as air purifiers and we take full advantage of that especially during breathwork classes.

Pure soywax is the only other type of candle we make and a different selection of essential oils are added to these each season. Depending on all our yogis' needs, the weather, the mood of the community, the position of the planets, we carefully choose three essential oils for three sets of pure soy candles, that we light during classes and soundbaths.

For soundbaths in particular it is good to provide a clean and relaxing environment, as they are deeply healing sessions, and there must absolutely not be any parabens or paraffins or any other detrimental ingredients that a lot of mass produced candles have.

The wonderful thing about having a small studio and making a small amount of candles each season is that it becomes an art and a joy to create candles with such specific and subtle benefits for all our yogis in class, and guests at soundbaths.

Yet another thing to be grateful for, and we are truly grateful that we have the space and liberty to provide these gifts.
