We bet a lot of you are going to be chomping down on quite a bit of chocolate over the next few days. Did you know that you don’t have to feel so guilty about it?? Ok, yes we’re talking about the pure stuff, dark chocolate without all the sugar and the other hundreds of additives but still, CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU. People have been using cocoa, for thousands of years and here are the reasons why:
Packed full of nutrients.
Incredible source of antioxidants
Protection from the sun
Improve brain function
Improve blood flow
Lower blood pressure.
So although you probably won’t be going with the 100% cocoa for easter, don’t be afraid to start adding it into your diet, in smoothies, sprinkled on porridge or maybe you want to try making some chocolate brownies. Check this recipe out

This has been one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, but unfortunately we have to close the doors of the studio after 11 years due to insanely rising costs and the effects of algorithms from big tech. We want to celebrate our successes and the truly special community around us. We have had the BEST time welcoming so many amazing people through our doors. Last day will be 31st May and you will still be able to purchase one off drop ins for the classes which will help us support the teachers in this transitional phase. Please understand there can be no refunds on passes that have not been used. Words can’t begin to describe the deep feeling of gratitude we have for you and how much we will miss seeing you all take care of yourselves and others. We’ll be back in another form soon 🙂
