Heart-Opening Yoga + Cacao Infusion with Andrew Chaves and Mauricio Guzman
In this unique and invigorating class, we combine a fusion of hatha+yin yoga with the heart-opening properties of cacao to create a truly transformative experience for your mind, body, and spirit.
During this class, we will guide you through a series of focused postures, specifically curated to open and expand your heart center. Heart-opening poses help release tension, increase flexibility, and cultivate a sense of receptivity, compassion, and self-love.
To enhance the heart-opening journey, we will incorporate the use of ceremonial-grade cacao. Cacao, also known as "food of the gods," has been used for centuries for its medicinal and heart-opening properties. It contains natural compounds that promote feelings of bliss, relaxation, and connection, making it the perfect companion for your yoga practice.
Moving through the yoga practice, we will flow through a purposeful sequence of asanas (yoga postures), incorporating heart-opening poses such as camel, bridge, cobra, and dancer's pose. With each breath, you will be encouraged to cultivate an awareness of your heart space, letting go of any physical or emotional tension, and allowing love and compassion to flow freely.
You will be invited to enjoy a cup of warm, ceremonial cacao, savoring its rich flavors and allowing it to awaken your senses. The cacao will serve as a gentle catalyst to deepen your connection with yourself and others throughout the class.
The combination of cacao, yoga, and mindfulness will facilitate a profound sense of presence and self-discovery, allowing you to tap into your inner wisdom.
We will conclude the class with yin yoga and meditation, allowing the benefits of the practice to integrate into your being. You will have the opportunity to share any insights or reflections with the group, fostering a sense of community and support.
No prior yoga experience is necessary, as modifications and variations will be provided to accommodate all levels. Please bring your own yoga mat, a water bottle, and an open heart.
Join us for this heart-opening yoga class with cacao and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, love, and connection. Come prepared to open your heart, nourish your soul, and leave feeling revitalized and inspired.
