Suitable for beginners and all levels of Yoga!

Join us as we deep dive into the heart chakra, and explore our connection with the air element through a variety of Yogic practices such as asana, meditation, mantra and breathwork. Indulge in a day of heart centered yoga practices that invite unconditional love, gratitude, compassion, and joy. Also we have a special guest collaboration with Kundalini Yoga teacher Helen Snook who will be providing us with a cocoa ceremony and Yoga nidra.
During a cocoa ceremony we prepare high quality, ceremonial grade cocoa, with warming spices. We consume the cocoa in a mindful manner, taking the time to drink it slowly, to fully taste the flavours, and engage the senses. We relate to the cocoa with gratitude and intention. Reported benefits of cocoa are enhanced meditation and mindfulness, stress reduction and and increased creativity. Ceremonial-grade cacao is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and other essential nutrients that can improve cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being
"Cacao is a teacher that is skilled at helping us reconnect with our own hearts, tend our relationships, and walk through life purposefully and guided by clear vision." https://ceremonial-cacao.com/pages/what-is-cacao-ceremony
In the morning we will begin with a welcome circle and tea. Followed by a heart opening vinyasa practice that explores poses that open the chest, also known as back bends. Then we will share a home cooked seasonal lunch. After lunch there will be a yin/restorative yoga practice, followed by mantra, pranyama and a loving-kindness meditation. We will then share tea and snacks, followed by a cocoa ceremony. You will then have the option to join us around the fire for a drink.
