Begin your Sunday by slowing down and taking a moment just for yourself before the new week begins <3
Each class starts by sharing a warm cup of ceremonial cacao from Guatemala, inviting you to land in the present moment. From there, we move into a soft and sweet Yin Yoga practice focused on relaxation and deep rest.
Each month, I prepare my own cacao recipe using seasonal herbs and spices.
In August, the special ingredient is Rose. Traditionally used to support emotional balance and help calm the nervous system.
Classes are primarily taught in English.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-
Yin yoga is a slow-paced and calming practice that invites you to slow down and hold certain asanas for longer periods of time. This gentle and meditative style of yoga focuses on deep stretching. And improving flexibility by targeting not only the muscles, but also the connective tissues, fascia, and joints. In my classes, we use props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets to help you feel supported, comfortable, and able to fully relax into each pose.

Ceremonial Cacao is made from pure cacao beans without added sugar, dairy, or artificial ingredients. It is minimally processed to maintain its natural fats, rich flavor, and beneficial nutrients. Unlike commercially produced chocolate, ceremonial cacao is prepared in a way that honors the bean's natural essence and its traditional use in rituals, meditation, and mindful daily practices. The ceremonial cacao served in my classes comes from Guatemala, where cacao has been cultivated and cherished for centuries.
