Candace Gallihugh

She has been practicing Vinyasa regularly ever since. Yoga has become more than just a form of exercise – it’s a lifestyle that has changed her overall perspective and outlook, which has allowed her to become more present and grounded in all aspects of her life. In 2014, she decided to delve more deeply into her practice and share the gift of yoga with others by teaching. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification and has taught ever since - either volunteering her time teaching Vinyasa yoga to benefit charities, for the wellness program at her workplace, or teaching professionally at yoga studios. Always a student, she completed advanced teacher training in 2016, and earned her certification in Yin Yoga in 2017. Her aim as a teacher is to create a grounding space for her students, where they can tune in and turn inward – cultivating deep body awareness while experiencing a vigorous, yet accessible physical workout. Her classes are framed by carefully chosen music and a focused theme. Candace is a Texas native and a Navy veteran; she now works as a consultant in the defense industry and has over 27 years of combined service to the Department of the Navy. She moved to San Diego in 1993 and has lived here ever since. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, Tim, and their two rescue dogs, Utah and Lulu.
