Who we are

The Heart Behind
Moonchild Summer Yoga

"Finding balance isn't a destination; it’s a rhythm."

My name is Candace Young, and I created Moonchild Summer Yoga to help people reconnect with the natural cycles that move within and around us.

Moonchild Summer Yoga presents a rejuvenating yoga experience featuring 3- or 4-day weekend retreats tailored for everyday individuals seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of life. Our retreats encourage participants to reconnect with themselves through the calming elements of nature, fostering a sense of grounding.

We invite you into a nurturing environment designed for exploration, nourishment, and connection. These retreats are ideal for enhancing and soothing both your physical and emotional well-being.

My Philosophy

As a "Moonchild," I believe we are deeply influenced by the cycles of nature. My mission is to provide more than just a yoga class; I curate sanctuary experiences. I specialize in "Vinyasa Yoga," a practice that celebrates warmth, growth, and the peak of our personal power. Whether we are hiking through Hickory Knob or kayaking the glass-like waters of Lake Marion, my goal is to guide you back to your most vibrant, balanced self.

Why Retreat With Me?

When you join a Moonchild Summer Yoga retreat, you aren't just a guest; you are part of an intimate circle. I intentionally keep our groups small (8–12 people) to ensure that every sequence, every chef-prepared meal, and every trail we hike feels personal and intentional.

I believe in:

  • Nourishment: Feeding the body with vibrant, locally sourced vegetarian fare.

  • Exploration: Moving the body through both yoga asana and the natural world.

  • Connection: Creating space for meaningful conversation and quiet reflection.

Whether you are looking to shed the weight of a busy season or plant new seeds of intention for the months ahead, I invite you to find your rhythm with us.

Let’s move with the cycles. Let’s find your light.
