Your Guides
Lianne of Hello Hi Body: Everything shifted when Lianne found yoga. Through movement, breath, and stillness, she learned to slow down, listen inward, and return home to herself.
With over eight years of teaching experience and 500+ hours of training, Lianne guides yoga, mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork with warmth and care. She creates spaces where there is nothing to fix, nowhere else to be, and everyone is invited to meet themselves exactly as they are.
Alexa Brown is an opener of hearts. She hosts cacao ceremonies in Cleveland, Ohios where people come to feel something real. Every mug at her ceremonies was made by her own hands. She's a truth teller, and a believer that the most healed version of you isn't someone brand new. It's the five-year-old version of you, with everything you've lived since.
Together they are creating a container for the kind of morning your nervous system has been asking for.
The morning:
We begin outside a walking meditation to arrive. To feel the ground beneath you, the air around you, and the quiet that becomes available when you stop moving through the world at full speed and start actually being in it.
From there Lianne guides you through a yoga practice that continues the work of arrival. Dropping you further into your body, your breath, and the present moment.
Then we drink cacao.
Alexa will guide you through the blessing and the ritual of drinking ceremonially together. By this point your body is already open, already present and cacao meets you there. She deepens what movement has already begun. A plant ally used for thousands of years to open the heart and invite the kind of stillness where you can finally hear yourself think.
From there, sound takes over. Alexa leads a sound journey bowls and chimes moving through everything the morning has opened.
We close with a light shared lunch. Four hours. One morning. Something that stays with you long after you leave.
