EVENTS
From time to time we host events or classes which are separate from our weekly class timetable and which you can join even if you are not a member of the studio. Please keep an eye on this page for updates.
Cacao & Yoga Workshop
In this workshop we will be combining the heart opening, Amazonian medicine of Cacao with a specially selected heart opening yoga flow, intention setting, multiple pranayama practices, and finishing off with a relaxing meditation.
Expect a warm cup of cacao, a distinctly bitter, chocolatey drink served with a pinch of cayenne pepper, cinnamon and rose - honey will be available for those who need it.
Cacao ceremonies are an ancient practice that help us to connect back into ourselves. I have found that combining cacao with yoga heightens the effects of both practices and helps bring us to a blissful, open space where we can access our bodies subtle inner messages.
Emily will be bringing her experiences and teachings from Central America to open the space and serve the Cacao in a traditional way. Then she'll lead you through a yoga sequence to amplify the effects of cacao, allowing you to go into a deep meditative state.
On a physical level, Cacao helps the body release dopamine and endorphins, putting us into a naturally blissful state. It increases heart rate and blood flow helping get oxygen flowing round the body giving us a natural energy boost similar to caffeine. Cacao is also considered a superfood, rich in many essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc.
What you need to know before the workshop:
- Cacao is a diuretic so please bring plenty of water with you and hydrate throughout the day after our workshop
- Please do not eat at least 1 hour before the workshop, and please eat a light, whole food breakfast if you choose to eat in the morning
- You may like to bring a journal to jot things down throughout the workshop or to reflect afterwards.
Teas will be provided after the event and Emily is available if you have any questions or would just like a chat!
