Our Story

For more than twenty years, yoga has been woven into my life.

​

What began as my own personal journey soon became something much bigger.

 

I’ve had the privilege of teaching hundreds of wonderful people through classes, workshops, retreats and my own studio, creating spaces where people could pause, breathe, and simply reconnect with themselves.

​

No matter where I taught, there was always one thing that completed the experience.

​

A softly glowing candle.

​

There is something magical about candlelight. It gently changes the atmosphere, inviting you to slow down, take a deeper breath and become present.

 

Over the years, lighting a candle became part of every class I taught and every ritual I created.

​

Yet despite spending years searching, I could never quite find the candle I was looking for.

​

I wanted beautiful, natural fragrances that felt calming rather than overpowering.

 

I wanted a clean, long-lasting burn and exceptional quality.

 

Time after time I found myself disappointed.

 

The fragrance faded too quickly, the wax tunnelled, or the experience simply didn’t match the price.

​

Eventually I realised something.

​

If I couldn’t find the candle I had been searching for, perhaps it was time to create it myself.

​

And that was the beginning of Happy Mat Living.
