Cacao ceremony has been around for centuries with the intent to heal the physical, emotional, and spiritual body. Ceremonial grade cacao is full of vitamins and minerals and is known as one of the most powerful antioxidants on earth! It has therapeutic levels of magnesium and is full of anandamide! Ananda in Sanskrit literally translates to bliss! The bliss molecule produces a heightened state of happiness and even synthesizes parts of the brain that enhance memory and proprioception! 

We’ll begin with a dynamic heart opening yoga asana sequence, spending time on the heart chakra, anahata, through flow, passive posture, breathing, and meditation. The physical practice will energetically and anatomically open the heart through focused postures. We glide into ceremony in seated meditation, setting a personal intention, and then ceremonial cacao is consumed in the form of a drink. We’ll conclude with kundalini breath and meditation.
