I know Yin is a “cool”practice,
but the heat will compliment the passive postures;
loosening the muscles, and promoting release of deep tissues. Which in turn will induce relaxation, stress and tension relief. This myofascial release will help to relieve pain, using mindful self massage with the aide of props or tools, increasing mobility and flexibility.
Tool will be given to you to take home. Room temp 79 degrees.

with Jennifer Daniel
In this workshop we will learn about cacao and its powerful benefits as well as its history. We will explore how to create our own personal rituals with it and together we will explore the healing and powerful heart opening benefits.
Since cacao is a natural heart opening plant medicine as well as connects us to our intuition, we will use our ceremony to connect to limiting beliefs or unhelpful patterns of behavior we are ready to release as well as connect to our hearts true desires and connect with a way of being that we want to embody.
We will discuss what limiting beliefs are, what transmutation is and what Sankalpa is, then we will set our intentions before moving through guided meditation centered around identifying the beliefs we’re wanting to release, letting them go and then identifying our true purpose and desire from our heart. In yoga this is known as our Sankalpa.
I will provide journaling prompts and give time to reflect, affirmations to take home and layout how to continue these rituals with cacao at home should they choose to. I will end the meditation with a brief sound bath and then we will close our ceremony with full hearts and hopefully empowered to let go of beliefs that no longer serve us, and the tools to continue that work.
