MARDI STEPS OUT WITH SOUND
And the sound keeps coming!
Mardi steps outside of Chakana next month to Modern Movement. She will take her sweet sounds, guitar, bowls, bells and voice to Katy Johnstone’s LSD yoga class.
Katy’s class is 90 minutes of juicy, slow flowing movement riddled with tantra, breathwork, meditation, kriya and ritual.
The slow, steady container of her classes encourages you to connect to the cadence of your breath and discover the loving vastness of be-ing between your thoughts.
She is on a mission to steady busy minds and redefine sensuality as something that is no longer taboo – providing space for the senses to become a gateway to the purity of presence.
So very aligned with all that we are about at Chakana. We invite you to come along and to take the time to tap into the subtle practices of the energy body and slow down enough to savour the uncharted subterranean world of the subconscious.
A beautiful collaboration indeed. You can expect to leave high on your own supply.
The class is accessible to all levels.
When: Dec 1
Where: Modern Movement, Level 2/9 Waratah St, Monavale.
Time: 6pm-7.30pm
SERUMS GLORIOUS SERUMS
These little bottles of wonder are often the cause of much confusion to many.
So let us break it down for you.
Serums are highly-concentrated blends of active ingredients, designed to address a specific concern or purpose. And they really do pack a punch
Here is a break down on our Chakana serums and what they do.
Chakana Hyaluronic acid: Great for dryness, dehydration and aging – hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water! It re-hydrates the skin by increasing water content inside the skin cells, leaving the skin plump and firm and resulting in improvement in lines, wrinkles and skin laxity.
Our Hyaluronic acid serum contains 97% of this fabulous active ingredient.
Chakana Vitamin A (Retinol): Great for Acne, pigmentation and those ageing cells – Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A that effectively treats multiple skin concerns including acne, hyperpigmentation and sun damage, also helping to decrease signs of ageing.
Benefits include increasing cellular turnover in the skin, thickening and increasing the density of the structural layer of the skin, regulating oil production, and increasing collagen production.
Our Vitamin A serum uses plant-based retinyl palmitate.
Chakana Vitamin B: Great for balancing oil, acne, pigmentation and plumping – Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that helps to brighten the skin and improve pigmentation. It also regulates oil production in the skin and assists in preventing breakouts in acne prone skin types.
Our Vit B has the added bonus of gentle exfoliating properties, as it has licorice and white willow bark which gently exfoliate dead skin build up.
Chakana Vitamin C: One of our favourites, and in our opinion – everyone should be using it! With multiple benefits in skin care, vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties that protect from environmental damage, particularly photo-damage. Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory capabilities that reduce redness and calm the skin. It increases and supports collagen production helps to brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Our Vit C is sourced from Kakadu plum, which contains the world’s highest levels of stable vitamin C, and rose hip extract combine to give this gel-based serum a potent punch. It smells fabulous too.
A little side note to add here… when using a serum, it’s really important to have the basics right. Make sure you are using an exfoliant. It’s something that we see so often, hundreds of dollars spent on serums with no weekly exfoliation in sight.
These wonder products (serums) work best when the dead skin build up is removed. So do keep this in mind before you add a serum to your skincare ritual. x
