Who am I, and why am I sharing this knowledge with you?

My name is Aleks Nikolic, and I’ve been practicing yoga, pranayama, and meditation for over 18 years, and sharing these teachings and holding space for almost 10 years. I’ve been sitting with cacao and sharing it with groups of humans since September 2018 - it’s now almost 7 years of working with this plant medicine, curating individual ceremonies in combination with meditation, nature rituals, pranayama, yin yoga, yoga nidra, and journaling.

In 2019, I created my ceremonial cacao brand “Naked Chocolate” (www.naked-chocolate.com), where I create intentional ceremonial cacao blends for humans to use in their day-to-day rituals and bring a hint of magic to the mundane. I’m a trained and certified hatha, vinyasa, yin yoga, myo yin yoga, and yoga nidra teacher and yin yoga teacher trainer. More importantly, I’ve been sharing these practices in my authentic understanding for many years in different places of the world, and my main intention is that you find your authentic voice and way to share these tools in a respectful and appreciative way.
