Settle In
Tea on arrival, an apron, a seat at the table. Introductions are short: the hour belongs to the making.
Choose Your Scent
Smell the signature blends and pick the one your candle is for: sleep, stress relief, mood or energy.
Blend and Pour
Melt the eco soy wax, measure in the essential oils and pour your 170g candle. The cotton wick is set by hand.
Take It Home
Your candle sets before the class ends and goes home with you. Around 35 hours of burning.
Learn to make a natural candle at our London studio, from essential oils alone. Candle making is a quietly absorbing hour: you focus on the scent and the pour, and the rest of the day falls away.Your tutor starts you off with the fragrance families and how top, heart and base notes work together. You smell your way through the Yougi signature blends and choose the one your candle is for: sleep, energy, calm or lift.Then you make it. You heat the eco soy wax, measure in your essential oils, set the cotton wick and pour your own 170ml candle. It sets before the class ends, so it goes home with you the same evening, with around 35 hours of burn.A hand-poured candle makes a present that looks like you spent more than you did. Come with a name in mind and leave with the gift made.For teams, hen parties and celebrations, we run the studio privately: everyone blends their own, everyone leaves with theirs. Message us with your dates and group size.We have two London studios, at Marble Arch and Whitechapel. Each date shows its location, and full directions go out with your booking.

Recent reviews of Aromatherapy Candle Making Class
5/5 from Jennifer Blake, attended Sep 2026: I love Yougi! Such a lovely environment, with knowledgeable and fun facilitators. I've done 2 workshops here this summer and always have fun with other participants, too. These workshops are guaranteed to be a good time, and nothing beats coming home with a stylish, personalised candle. Thoroughly recommend!
5/5 from Christiana Ringe, attended Sep 2026: Wonderful candle making class. I will be back for another soon! Perfect for singles, couples or friends and family groups.
5/5 from Saumya Singh, attended Sep 2026: Really nice class & super calming!!
5/5 from Joe Appleby, attended Sep 2026: Had an amazing candle making session today! Thoroughly enjoyable and we were able to buy some fantastic products too. We will definitely be going back!
5/5 from Rhianne Evans, attended Sep 2026: My team and I thoroughly enjoyed our candle making workshop at Yougi. Their Spitalfields location is very easy to get to, and the space itself is beautiful! Our workshop teacher Kai was incredibly warm, knowledgable, and shepherded us beautifully through a relaxing evening. We would all highly recommend this experience, and I'll certainly be looking to book further workshops at Yougi for future team outings.
5/5 from Genevieve Q, attended Aug 2026: We enrolled in the yougi candle making class to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was such a relaxing and great way to start our day in London. Peter was funny and knowledgeable and guided us through the process, dropping lots of knowledge and ideas for different candle essential oil therapeutic combinations. Made some candles, and bought an entirely different candle because, to be honest, we can't wait the recommended week for ours to set and bind the scent to the wax properly. But that's just us. Aromatherapically Impatient. Really enjoyed the workshop. Thanks so much. Si & Gen

5/5 from Kate Machattie, attended Aug 2026: We thoroughly enjoyed our class with Eilidh and had a great time chatting with her and the other people on the course!

4/5 from Debbie, attended Apr 2026: My friend and I attended the aromatherapy candle making class. The host, Peter, was welcoming and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the session very much and were pleased with the candles we made to take home. My only criticism would be that the session was rather short and did not last the full hour and fifteen minutes which we had been expecting. Overall an enjoyable experience.

4/5 from Sarah Biggs, attended Feb 2026: Informative about candles and the ingrediants we don't realise go into making them. The essential oil blends you can use are all lovely and the teacher went through each step thoroughly, from choosing scents to adding the wick to adding the scent blend to the wax and pouring into the glass. In the end you have a lovely candle to take home (the wax didn't take that long to set) and more awareness as to what goes into shop-bought candles.

Peter was a great teacher and was very friendly and fun, making the session wonderful and providing great advice on how to pair scents! Thank you
4/5 from Aisha, attended Jan 2026: The process of making the candle was simple et quick
3/5 from Eshani Gheewala, attended Jan 2026: An okay class - it was a nice atmosphere and in the end, we made a nice candle to take home but the process was essentially a two set process with the main bit of the class waiting for the candle to dry. It felt like quite an expensive class for what it was. Peter was informative and clearly trying to fill in the class with information about candles and the company. I think that because we couldn’t mix the scents ourselves, we essentially just picked a pre-made scent, mixed it in the wax and poured it in the glass. Perhaps it would have felt like you got more from the process if you could mix the oils yourself and if you could pick your vessel or something else to make you feel more involved in the process.
5/5 from Tosin Erins, attended Dec 2025: Such a fun class really enjoyed it. Peter was so lovely and funny. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be visiting again
Have you ever noticed that candles make everything better? We did, but we kept finding ourselves settling for candles that were made from synthetic fragrance and paraffin. And they were too expensive to light every day. Because of this, we spent a year testing hundreds of fragrances, mixing waxes and experimenting with wicks to create the kind of candles we’d been searching for. This is how Yougi was born!We started our candle-making workshops as a way of sharing our knowledge and love of candles and aromatherapy. We are proud to say that our candles are cruelty-free, vegan, ethically sourced, eco-friendly and 100% natural. Come and join us for a feel-good workshop and make your own soy candle with essential oils.
