Yin yoga by candlelight in ChicagoGentle poses, held for longer.
Yin holds gentle poses for longer, which gives the body time to release into a deep stretch and the mind time to settle. The room is lit by candles and the pace is slow.
What to expect
It's open to all levels, including beginners, and it's a good way to let go of tension at the end of the day.
Kali Torr teaches Candlelight Yin. She trained in the Sacred Valley of Peru and brings her Peruvian shamanic training and classical Eastern traditions into her classes. On Tuesday evenings it follows her vinyasa class as the Move & Melt Evening Retreat.

Frequently asked questions
- What is yin yoga?
- Yin is a slow style of yoga where poses are held for several minutes at a time, mostly seated or lying down. The long holds stretch deeply and give you time to quiet the mind.
- Is yin yoga good for beginners?
- Yes. Candlelight Yin is open to all levels, including people who have never done yoga.
- Should I choose yin or restorative?
- Both are slow. Yin gives you a deeper stretch. Restorative supports you completely with bolsters, blankets and blocks, so there's no effort at all, and our Candlelight Restorative Sound Bath adds live sound.
- What should I bring?
- Comfortable clothes and a water bottle. Mats are available to borrow at no charge, so you can just show up. Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to settle in and say hello to your teacher.
- How much does it cost?
- Drop-in $30. Class packs and memberships cover it, and new students can try it with the Discovery Pass: 14 days of unlimited yoga for $79.
