West African Dance, Yoga & Sound Healing At 3rd Eye with Jennifer G.

Return to your roots in this yoga and African dance event.

This event will begin with a root chakra focused yoga warmup leading into uplifting West African dance taught by Jean-Claude Lessou, accompanied by live drums. African dance involves a low gravity center to ground and connect us to the rooted support of rhythmic earth energy. We will end with a relaxing and restorative sound bath meditation to soothe the body and integrate the resounding vibrational cadence of the spirited movement.

Jean-Claude was born and raised in Abidjan, Ivory Coast in West Africa. He began dancing professionally at age 15, and performed with the Dante Theater Company for five years before touring the U.S. as principal dancer with Ballet Jolem. He produced a special event for children at the Kennedy Center, performing masked dances from his own village. During the past 10 years, he taught at Lisangua Ya Bato Dance and Drum Camp in Woodstock, New York and worked with students and faculty at Goddard College, Saint Michael’s College, Middlebury College and Norwich University in Vermont. For the past three years, he has choreographed and taught classes at “Africa in the Ozarks”, a West African dance camp in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He was also the lead choreographer for the Lannaya West African Drum and Dance Ensemble in Austin. Today he works regularly with high schools and dance studios around Austin to choreograph professional and student performances. He leads his African Dance company, Afrique Gninze in performances throughout Texas. He teaches West African classes on Tuesday nights at Ballet Austin. On Saturday afternoons he teaches drumming and dance classes outside of the Long center.

Jennifer Guillory is an Austin and Tantra based yoga teacher, sound and song therapist, musician/dancer and tantric sex educator. She is a member of Afrique Gninze, Jean Claude’s West African Dance company in Austin. She also sings with Jean Claude in his Afro-rock band, System Positif.

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga. Yoga poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence. Expect to move, sometimes vigorously, from pose to pose. This practice stimulates and energizes the mind and body through asanas (poses), with focus on the breath. This class will help you to build strength, increase endurance, create flexibility, and release tension.If you appreciate having things a little loose and like to keep moving, this style is definitely worth a try.Read class details

Third Eye Cacao, the most diverse cacao and wellness oriented cafe i have ever visited. This is a phenomenal place for not only grounding with lovely authentic and ethically sourced cacao, but also to meet soulful people, make meaningful connections, and enjoy the fengshue for studying and rejuvination. Words cannot do justice to the full experience. You should come and find out for yourself why this gem in casa de luz among many other beautiful stores and spaces is one to remember. Thankyou ❤️‍🔥

I’ve never met anyone more willing to serve and support community without expecting anything in return. Neil operates from a place of love and authentic intention. Grateful for his support and friendship. If you are in need of inspiration, wisdom, or the best cacao, look no further. ♥️

Kevin P. June 24, 2025

I stopped in for a cup of cocoa, expecting comfort, but what I got was ceremony. The kind of drink that feels like it was made with intention, not just ingredients. A haven in every sense: soft lighting, grounding presence, and offerings that feel more like rituals than menu items. Deepest gratitude to the creators of this space, you’ve stirred something calm and nourishing into the world, one cup at a time.

Finally leaving a review, since I usually forget due to how relaxed I am each time I visit! I can’t stress enough how happy I am that this place exists. No matter the mood I’m in, their drinks are the perfect pick me up and I’m here weekly. My go-to is the Goddess energy with a little bit of honey, but the whole menu is good! Friendly staff too, but I do wish there was some type of reward system.

Sarah J. June 3, 2025

Very special place, amazing drinks with quality and pureness you can taste, excellent service from everyone who is there and a very free energy throughout the place 🙌🏾

The cacao here is good, and the vibes are amazing. It’s the kind of place where you run into awesome people whose very presence brings you peace and joy.

Great place to do breathwork!

Alex A. March 19, 2025

I love that no matter how busy or slow this place is, the person who works there is personable and graceful. The cacao is nice and so is the ambiance.

I have been consuming Third Eye Elixirs for the past three years and have had amazing results. It began with taking Golden Elixir or Golden Milk to remedy inflammation in my knees and feet. By simply having a golden milk drink before bed I not only slept better but my inflammation that would make walking extremely painful at times diminished significantly in weeks. I recommend this for anyone with sleep problems or joint inflammation. I was then struck with diverticulitus and was hospitalized for six days while in France, I remained in France for two more months due to work and the felt discomfort in my colon the entire time. As many say, this affliction is extremely difficult to recover from. When returning to Austin I begin my recovery with Neil recommending I take a small portion of Silighai daily, the uncomfortable sensations that were in my colon from the attack healed in a month and I feel no negative symptoms. I talk to so many with this affliction telling me it never completely heals. Neil seems to give me excellent advice in supplements for my health. Neil later challenged me to stop my daily coffee consumption and replace it with Cacao. I drank Cacao but not as a regular morning drink. Since doing so I feel a new level of vibrancy and have a consistent steady level of energy. Totally amazing how Third Eye products have changed my life. On the social side, coming to the lounge is always a comforting place to be, it is one of the friendliest places in Austin. I always look forward to spending time in the lovely community. Thanks Bart Shar

FAQ

Absolutely! Yoga is like a spa day for your skin. It helps reduce stress, which can improve skin conditions like acne and eczema. Plus, all those twists and turns get your blood flowing, delivering essential nutrients to your skin cells. Just don't forget to wash your yoga mat, or you might end up with a face full of bacteria!

Yoga is like a soothing balm for stress and anxiety, helping to calm your mind and relax your body. It teaches you to focus on your breath and be present in the moment, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than a lifetime of therapy sessions.

Breathing in yoga is like the fuel that powers your practice - it keeps you going and helps you get the most out of each pose. It also helps you stay calm and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.

Yoga helps with joint health like a well-oiled machine, keeping your joints flexible and lubricated. It can help improve range of motion, reduce stiffness and inflammation, and prevent joint injuries. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than getting a tune-up at the mechanic's shop.

To prevent injuries during yoga practice, treat your body like a delicate flower – with care and respect. Warm up properly, listen to your body, and don't push yourself too far. And remember, it's better to take a break and rest than to force yourself into a pose that could lead to injury.
