Love Cocoa, a creator of handmade chocolate gifts and treats, recently held a wellness-themed chocolate event in partnership with UK-based yoga instructor Guzel Mursalimova.
The first half of the 'Soothing Chocolate Meditation and Healing Restorative Yoga' event centered around getting attendees to deeply enjoy "new spectrum of chocolate flavours and sensations" of an organic, vegan luxury Love Cocoa chocolate bar through ancient Buddhist, mindfulness and mediation techniques. The second half of the event paired yoga, essential oils and myofascial release to inspire a total sense of calm and feel-good bliss.
Although chocolate is often thought of only as an indulgence, high-quality cocoa offers numerous health benefits, including antioxidants to support the brain and memory, as well as other benefits for heart health and mood management.
