Is your heart longing for spiritual connection? Bhakti yoga is a path of deep devotion which, through movement, pranayama and chanting, opens us to connect with the Divine. Paired with heart-opening, ceremonial cacao, these practices invite us to tap into the grounding energies that can help us channel our own divine nature.

About your guides:
Meet Susannah
Susannah teaches a rigorous style of Bhakti Vinyasa yoga, which includes beautiful chants, fluid sequencing, and nuggets of Yoga Philosophy that are both profound and accessible. She has a somewhat notorious dry sense of humor, and her playlists are always fire. Her sincerest goal is to offer a space in which people can find refuge inside their own bodies, and she firmly believes that as a global community we need to find a way to understand the concept that, as her teacher Stephanie Snyder says, we are different but not separate.
Meet Madaly

Cacao Circle
Ceremonial cacao is an ancient Mesoamerican plant medicine, revered for its heart-opening and healing properties, crafted using traditional Mayan methods infused with intention and prayer. Rich in antioxidants, adaptogens, and neurotransmitter-boosting compounds, it nourishes the body, mind, and spirit while fostering connection, clarity, and emotional well-being.
