Soothe: A restorative yoga, sound bath & Cacao Experience

Sep 13, 2025 | 4:00 - 6:00 PM

@ NANDI YOGA, SAN MATEO, CA

Join Alyssa Lauren Stone for a deeply nourishing and heart-centered journey that blends ancient ritual with modern healing practices. This special workshop combines the grounding and heart-opening energy of a Cacao Ceremony with the deeply restful practice of Restorative Yoga, enhanced by the vibrational healing from a sound bath.

🌱 What to Expect:

Cacao Ceremony: We’ll begin with a sacred cacao ritual, using ceremonial-grade cacao to gently open the heart, enhance connection, and invite intention-setting. Cacao, revered for its spiritual and medicinal properties, supports emotional release and fosters a deeper sense of presence.

Restorative Yoga: After the ceremony, ease into a sequence of fully supported poses designed to promote deep rest, reset the nervous system, and soften physical and emotional tension. No yoga experience is necessary—this practice is accessible to all.

Sound Bath: As you rest, immerse yourself in a soothing soundscape featuring a Gong, Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, drums, and gentle instruments. The vibrations help balance the energy body, release stored tension, and guide you into a meditative, blissful state.

🌸 This workshop is for you if:

  • You feel called to reconnect with your heart space

  • You’re seeking emotional release or inner clarity

  • You’re craving deep rest and nervous system reset

  • You want to explore sacred ceremony in a safe and supportive space

Wear cozy layers and come with an open heart! Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience, we encourage early registration.


Women’s Circle: Cacao, Ayurveda, and kundalini Yoga

Sep 20, 2025 | 2:00 - 4:30 PM

@ YOGA FLOW SF (OCEAN), SAN FRANCISCO, CA

Join us for a transformative women's circle that weaves together the sacred traditions of cacao, Ayurveda, yoga, and the energetic wisdom of the equinoxes and solstices to help you reconnect with your inner power.

In this sacred gathering, we will explore how these ancient practices can help us align with the cycles of nature, cultivate deep self-awareness, and harness the unique energies of the changing seasons.

What to Expect:

🌿 Cacao Ceremony: We will begin by drinking ceremonial-grade cacao, an ancient plant medicine that opens the heart and enhances our connection to intuition and higher consciousness. This gentle yet powerful plant spirit will guide us into a space of openness, healing, and collective sisterhood. We will have live instruments and an opportunity to use our voices collectively in chant, accompanying this highly powerful ceremony.


🌸 Ayurvedic and Yogic Wisdom: Through the lens of Ayurveda and Yoga, we will explore how the seasons influence our minds, bodies, and spirits. Learn how to align your unique dosha with the energies of the equinoxes and solstices, and discover simple Ayurvedic practices and beauty rituals. Through the power of yoga asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathwork), we will restore balance, enhance vitality, and support your emotional well-being.


🌞 Harnessing the Equinoxes and Solstices: These pivotal moments in the solar cycle offer profound opportunities for personal transformation. Together, we will explore the symbolic power of the equinoxes and solstices to ignite inner strength, release what no longer serves you, and set intentions for growth, abundance, and grace.

This circle is open to women-identifying people of all backgrounds and experiences. Whether you are new to these practices or have been on a spiritual journey for years, come as you are and be welcomed with open arms.
