Mindfully drinking a warm cup of ceremonial cacao can be a meditation of the heart.

a guided cacao - yoga - relaxation class with Ateeka

Our afternoon practice will include the mindful sensing and drinking of a cup of beautiful lovingly prepared ceremonial cacao and some gentle yogaSOMATICS movement leading you into a deepening guided relaxation.

The warm cup of cacao will be prepared by Ateeka using only organic and natural vegan ingredients (havremelk and a little natural sweetener). Ateeka will first share a little bit about the preparation, background and benefits of drinking ceremonial cacao and then guide the class into mindful drinking, movement and relaxation.

A practice supported with ceremonial cacao is grounding for your body . . . opening for your senses . . . and can offer a state of wakeful calm and a sensation of openness. It is said to be a “medicine of the heart” as the natural bio-components (theobromine) in the unprocessed cacao create a natural circulation of blood flow and relaxation.

Everyone is welcome to this grounding, relaxing (and DELICIOUS) class. Those new to cacao, yoga or meditation are very welcome and will find the practice to be accessible and sensory oriented! Experienced yoga practitioners and teachers may find this class to be inspiring, supporting and a good way to simply give a “treat” of practice to themselves.

** The cacao will have the most effect on your bio-system and its healthy benefits most noticeable if you drink it with a mostly empty stomach. The suggestion is to not eat for 2-3 hours before the practice. The cacao is rich and filling. Bring your own water/water flask to the practice.

** For who wishes to drink more cacao at home . . . Ateeka will have bags of beautiful single origin ceremonial cacao for purchase after the class.
