Cacao Ritual and Restorative Yoga
Saturday 22nd October
11am-1.30pm
Cacao Ritual and Restorative Yoga
Cacao is now used for plant medicine rituals and ceremonies all over the world.
According to the Mayan tradition, the term for cacao is literally translated as heart blood and so to be part of a sacred cacao ceremony is to stimulate and awaken the energetic heart.
In this practice we take pranayama, meditation and restorative yoga postures to further enhance the practice of moving towards & unfurling the heart.
Restorative poses kick start the relaxation response to balance the nervous system, optimise energy flow to our vital organs, lift our immune function & enhance the process of digestion, respiration and circulation.Â
Restorative Yoga sets the whole body up for deep healing, growth and repair.Â
Beyond all the incredible physiological health benefits, Restorative classes create the opportunity to see where you hold habitual tension and enable you to retain a sense of calm through hectic times. On top of all these lovely benefits every 10 minutes spent doing Restorative is worth an hours sleep!Â

You asked for feedback on my experience at Same Star Yoga, so here goes: The location - Really convenient! I'm delighted the studio is so close to my home. Design and interior 'decor' - A beautiful, calm and relaxing space. Perfect for practising Yoga. Teachers - All the classes I've attended have been expertly led. The teachers are very attentive to students' needs & requirements. Prices - Very reasonable. I like the idea of the multi-class passes, which are very handy for those of us who want to try out different sessions.

I can't recommend this studio and the teachers Faye and Samantha at Same Star yoga enough. I am now doing my Yoga Teacher Training with them which I feel shows how highly I regard their level of tuition.
