About this Event
Beyond The Mat: Yin Yoga & Cacao
Step into a soulful evening of rest, reflection, and connection, exploring yoga beyond the physical practice. This nourishing evening weaves together yin yoga, yoga nidra, ceremonial cacao, and guided self-inquiry.
Together, we’ll be guided by a yogic teaching and reflect on how it shows up in our modern lives, both on and off the mat.
What to expect
Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra
Unwind with a slow, grounding yin practice followed by a deeply restful yoga nidra. This is a space to soften, plant seeds of intention, and gently embody the evening’s theme.
Ceremonial Grade Cacao
We’ll share a cup of ceremonial-grade cacao, used traditionally to support heart-opening, presence, and connection. You’ll be guided through its purpose and intention.
Svādhyāya (Self-Study)
Through quiet reflection, you’ll be invited to turn inward. Journaling prompts will be offered to support your own personal inquiry (bringing a journal is optional, you may just wish to sit and sip your cacao in quiet reflection).
Exploring Yoga Beyond The Mat
We’ll close with an open, optional group reflection. Yoga is a rich and ancient philosophy made up of eight limbs, of which physical postures (asana) are just one part. This is a chance to explore how these teachings can be lived and experienced in everyday life.

My Approach
My biggest value is authenticity, over pressure, performance, and pretence. Essentially, you're allowed to have a laugh here!
Don't worry if you've never done something like this before, and don't worry about saying something profound or not being 'polished' or 'spiritual' enough for the space. Show up messy, unfilitered, and unsure - it's all welcome here!
Accessibility & Inclusivity
Everything is entirely invitational; please participate in whatever way feels right for you.
This is a safe, neurodivergent-led and neurodiversity-affirming space. You are warmly encouraged to share any sensory preferences, accessibility needs, communication styles, or support considerations in advance so the space can best support you.
