Yoga High proudly presents Koko and Kirtan, a collaboration between the cultures of Samoa and India at Yoga High Caroline Springs on July 21.The day precedes the full moon and will commence with the Koko gathering, led by Fipe Preuss.
Fipe will provide insight into the long history of the Koko bean in Samoa, its origins and significance to its people as well as her personal experience as a community leader and as owner of Living Koko, a company that uses indigenously grown Samoan Koko to make delicious chocolates, teas, facial and body scrubs as well as Koko based drinks.

She will make use of accessible techniques that will leave you feeling grounded, balanced, but more-so the subtle influence of the breath over mind and body thus opening us to the innate energies of our beings.
