What to expect:
Starting with a cacao ceremony where we share a cup of magical cacao in a circle to allow it to awaken our hearts.
Cacao is an ancient healing plant medicine. It’s a natural superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and has been used for over 5000 years in ceremony’s.
Cacao is a heart opener that reminds us to move through life with an open heart. It helps connect us to our creative center and aligns us with the frequency of Mother Earth.
With the the spirit of mama cacao in your being we will continue the journey with therapeutic yin yoga and deep relaxing yoga nidra.
The practice of yin yoga is suitable for all ages and levels. Its a gentle flow with plenty of time to slow down, tune in and let go of what is not longer serving you.
It targets the connective tissues of the body with longer holds and slow stretches. Focusing on postures to open the heart space. Removing any deeply lodged tension and blockages in the meridians to the heart organ. Allowing the life force energy to flow freely and the true light of the heart to shine.
We will finish the journey in the healing vibrations of savasana with the powerful practice of yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is a form of a guided meditation in which you learn to relax consciously. In this journey it takes you even further into a blissful state of mind, body and soul.
