Yoga + Cacao: Release into Rest

A three-hour women-only mini retreat at Barefoot Birmingham combining a cacao ceremony with restorative yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and sound healing.

Claire Robinson-Bainton guides a women-only mini retreat marking the darker, restful half of the year. The session opens with a heart-opening cacao ceremony and moves through restorative yin shapes, meditation, breath practices, gentle movement, poetry, self-reflection, rest rituals, yoga nidra and sound healing. The studio is equipped with mats, cushions, blankets and blocks, and phones are not permitted. The workshop is not suitable for those with a pacemaker, epilepsy, metal implants or during pregnancy.
