How to prepare for the workshop:

• Before the session, it's advisable to avoid heavy meals and refrain from drinking large amounts of liquids.

• Before joining the workshop, take a moment to reflect on what brings you here. What are your goals or intentions? What do you hope to achieve?

• We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, that allows you to move freely and relax fully. Choose clothes that won't restrict your movements or distract you, ensuring a more focused and enjoyable session.

• Choose a tranquil and private area where you feel at ease and secure and cannot be overheard or interrupted by others.

• Transform your chosen space into a sanctuary. Consider lighting candles, energy cleansing, or incorporating meaningful symbols or items that resonate with you. Creating an atmosphere that excites you and offers safety and peace is essential.

• Embrace your emotions with acceptance and openness, rather than suppressing or judging them.

• Come with a mind ready to explore and learn, setting aside preconceived notions, judgments, or critical thoughts about the practice for yourself or others.

• And remember, it's perfectly fine to pause or step back if you ever feel too much intensity or discomfort. Choosing is more important than doing. Your well-being is paramount.

• Gather your essentials: a yoga mat, cushions, bolsters, blankets, and, optionally, a blindfold and tissues.

• Arrive on time to ensure you catch all the vital instructions.

• Ensure you have a stable internet connection and quality speakers or headphones, as music will be a part of our session.

• Download & print the provided journal, or bring your notebook, pens, crayons, or markers for any reflective writing or drawing.

• Have a comforting beverage, such as cacao, herbal tea, or water, to help you stay hydrated and relaxed.
