Awaken the Senses: Where Artisanal Chocolate and Restorative Yoga Meet

An immersive experience of restorative yoga, meditation, and sensory exploration.

This workshop brings together yoga and handmade chocolate to awaken presence, deepen awareness, and open the senses. Yoga invites us to slow down and reconnect with the body. Chocolate, when made with attention and enjoyed mindfully, becomes a pathway to taste, texture, and energy that can amplify this inner journey. Together, they create a space where movement, stillness, and sensory experience meet.

As both a chocolatier and yoga teacher, Zsuzsanna brings these worlds together with intention. Since 2020, she has been making small-batch, 80% dark chocolate with organic cacao, maple sugar, vanilla, Oregon sea salt and botanicals. Each bar is made fresh, infused with edible flowers, fruits, and spices.

In this workshop, we’ll focus on the second (Sacral) and fifth (Throat) chakras, the energetic centers of creativity, flow, and authentic expression.The Sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) invites us to feel and create, the source of emotional fluidity and sensual vitality. The Throat chakra (Vishuddha) channels that inner movement into voice and truth. When these two centers are in harmony, creativity flows freely from emotion into expression, connecting feeling with communication, and imagination with authenticity.

Chocolate pairing:

Chamomile: gentle and soothing, restores emotional flow and nurtures creative openness.

Lavender: calming and clarifying, supports truth and communication, resonating with throat energy.

A simple but powerful duo that invites you to speak your truth with softness and nurture creative flow.

Throughout this workshop, you’ll be guided through restorative yoga and meditation practices that prepare the body and mind to fully experience these flavors. By slowing down and engaging the senses, this workshop offers a grounding practice that brings balance, nourishes the spirit, and awakens deeper awareness.
