Snogo in the Wild SITW April 24
YoSnogoer,
You know the saying “timing is everything”? Well, this month’s featured submission nailed its’ timing!
“The benefits of cacao” was the theme of this month’s blog post and we found tons of new, fascinating information on the subject. But we found so much, that when we got down to publishing it, we had way, WAY too much. Ultimately, we had to cut some stuff out. And some of that “stuff” was the research we did about the benefits of pairing cacao and yoga.
But, lo and behold! Marissa wrote in to SITW with a story about just that. Have at it!

Marissa, thank you so much for that awesome (and timely!) story!
And FYI: using cacao to benefit your yoga practice isn’t a shortcut, it’s science! Here’s an excerpt from an article we found on Keith’s Cacao website.
“Pure Ceremonial Cacao is a plant medicine and an entheogen. Entheogens – a composite word derived from the Greek words’ theos’ (god) and ‘genesthai’ (come into being) are … compounds found in plants, pushing us beyond what is familiar into new and expanded states of awareness.”
You can google dozens more science-based articles about the wonderful alchemy between yoga and cacao. So gifting your friends SNOGOs for a yoga retreat wasn’t random at all. As they’ve already told you, it was PERFECT! Just like your SITW story!
Big Love,
AY
