Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga where passive postures are held for 3 to 10 minutes. It targets deep connective tissues (like fascia, ligaments, and joints) rather than muscles. The practice emphasizes stillness, using props like bolsters and blankets to comfortably relax the body
There is a natural tendency during this time of transition to reflect upon what part of our own lives might be out of balance and how we can cultivate more balance mentally, emotionally and physically. A Yin Yoga practice is a wonderful way to regain some centering and embrace the changing seasons. In Chinese Medicine Theory Autumn is a time for letting go. To surrender. To release. To exhale.
We will explore postures and acupressure points to stimulate the lung and large intestine Meridian (related to the Metal element) which connects us to Autumn. Honouring transitions helps bring us into alignment with nature. It assists in letting go of habitual negative thought patterns and opens us to new potential.
Yin is deeply reflective practice, focusing on sensation, breath and spaciousness in the body and mind. It is a floor based yoga practice with extended holds in postures and plenty of time to begin to notice the subtle shifts in both energy and physicality.
ABOUT CACAO
ABOUT CEREMONIAL CACAO
Cacao was used in Ritual and Ceremony by our Mesoamerican ancestors and was considered sacred. It is interesting that the ritual and ceremonial use had been lost.
Cacao had been practically diluted beyond recognition into Chocolate confections with added fats and sugars which can detract from the magic.
There is a difference in vibration when you eat a dairy filled Chocolate bar compared to a minimally processed dark Chocolate.
Drinking Cacao in it's purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves, our own intuition, knowing and inner guidance.
The joy of Cacao has recently been rediscovered in the western World, with people consuming it in a pure form and receiving support and messages from the Cacao spirit.
Cacao is regaining its reputation as a powerful yet gentle earth medicine.
