Relax, Reset, and Restore with Candlelight Yoga at MINT

January 2, 2026 by mint-sk

If you’re searching for a gym that offers yoga classes, especially ones focused on stress relief, mindfulness, and full-body movement, Candlelight Yoga at MINT Gym + Studio is designed to help you slow down and reset.

The start of a new year often comes with big goals, packed schedules, and constant momentum. While intention-setting can be powerful, it can also bring pressure. Candlelight Yoga at MINT offers a pause — a chance to breathe, move intentionally, and reconnect with your body and mind in a supportive, welcoming environment.

What Is Candlelight Yoga?

Candlelight Yoga is an all-levels vinyasa yoga class. It’s accessible for beginners while still providing depth and challenge for experienced practitioners.

The class is thoughtfully structured to support both physical movement and mental relaxation. Each session begins with a short centering practice, incorporating mindful breathing techniques to help calm the nervous system and bring awareness inward. Soft LED candle lighting creates a soothing, low-stress atmosphere that encourages focus and presence.

This yoga class works through all seven energy centers in the body — from the base of the spine to the crown of the head — supporting balance, grounding, and overall wellness.

What to Expect in Class

Candlelight Yoga blends flowing movement with restorative elements to create a well-rounded experience:

  • Gentle vinyasa flow to build strength, mobility, and coordination
  • Heart, shoulder, neck, and hip openers to release tension and counteract desk posture
  • Seated poses, folds, twists, balances, and optional inversions to engage the full body
  • Modifications and pose options offered throughout, making the class accessible for all experience levels
  • Restorative poses and guided relaxation at the end of class to promote deep rest and recovery

Whether you’re new to yoga or have an established practice, this class is designed to meet you where you are.

Yoga Classes at a Wellness-Focused Gym

Unlike traditional gyms, MINT takes a holistic approach to fitness. Yoga classes like Candlelight Yoga are part of MINT’s broader commitment to stress reduction, recovery, and sustainable movement — not just high-intensity workouts.

If you’re looking for:

  • A gym with yoga classes
  • A beginner-friendly yoga class
  • A relaxing evening yoga experience
  • A yoga studio atmosphere within a full-service gym

Candlelight Yoga at MINT delivers all of the above in one intentional experience.

Make Time to Reset

As you move through the year ahead, give yourself permission to slow down and reset — even for just one class. Yoga is a powerful tool for managing stress, improving mobility, and building consistency in your wellness routine.

What practices help you reset and recharge? What do you want to carry with you into the year ahead?
