It's no secret that chocolate elevates moods, eases anxiety, and relaxes muscles.  There is a reason women love it so much. The Ancient Mayans and Aztecs revered chocolate for its abilities to prolong physical endurance and connect them to the universal intelligence. Modern science praises it for its abilities to lower the risk of heart attacks, reduce fatigue and muscle cramps, and for its healing antioxidants and flavonoids. No matter how you look at it, chocolate is the perfect food!
 
Join me for the afternoon at Urban Lily Yoga Studio in Sherman Oaks, CA as I use three flavors of chocolate to lead and guide us through this heart opening, sensory awakening, and mind-expanding workshop.  We'll start with the rich and creamy Pure Bliss dark chocolate as the focal point, or Dharana, of our opening meditation. Then, the Spicy Mexican chocolate will help open the pores and build heat as we flow through heart opening vinyasa sequences. Finally, we'll wind down and end with cool and refreshing Mint Chocolate in our final meditation. This is one workshop guaranteed to leave you feeling Blissed Out.

All levels welcome.

Chocolate-making reinvented to satisfy those raw, vegan cravings

Check out this recent article from 2/10/2010 edition of Brand X...
Mix a dash of business savvy, a touch of tenacity and a whole lot of raw chocolate and you've got Erika Martin's recipe for success. Her raw and vegan-friendly chocolate company, Blissed Out, is changing the way our city eats sweets. And man, do they taste good. Inspired by a 30-day vow to live as a raw foodist, Martin started Blissed Out, which is dedicated to bringing hand-poured, raw and vegan truffles to the masses. "I did the raw food diet on the conditions that I could still have my two vices of chocolate and wine. During that time, I was introduced to raw cacao, which I love. It's totally different than regular chocolate . . . I almost clung to it in an addictive way," says Martin. While on the diet, she realized how difficult it was to find raw truffles, bars and chocolates on par with high-end chocolatiers. Read On...
