Full Moon Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony & Breathwork – Chennai

Embrace the radiant symbolism of the upcoming Full Moon — a time traditionally associated with illumination, reflection, and release.

A space to pause.
To breathe deeply.
To soften what has been held within.

Through a gentle Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony and a guided Breathwork Journey, we create space to explore what has been living beneath the surface — the knots of anger, the weight of sadness, or the echoes of grief that the body may still be holding.

This evening is not only about letting go. It is about reclaiming space within yourself for healing, clarity, and renewal.

As the poet Rumi beautifully said:

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Under the light of the full moon, we gather in an intentional space to gently explore these barriers, honour both our light and our shadows, and release what no longer feels authentic — emotions, patterns, habits, or energies that are ready to move.

Your breath is a powerful guide.
From the moment we arrive in this world until our final exhale, it remains our constant companion — a rhythm of holding and letting go, again and again.

What is Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony?

Blue Lotus was revered in ancient Egyptian culture as a sacred flower associated with awakening, rebirth, and expanded awareness. Known botanically as Nymphaea caerulea, this delicate water lily often appeared in temple carvings and ceremonial art, symbolising the unfolding of consciousness.

In our ceremony, we will mindfully sip a warm Blue Lotus tea, allowing its gentle qualities to support relaxation and inward awareness. The petals are carefully steeped to create a soft, fragrant infusion that invites the body to slow down and the mind to soften.

Blue Lotus is known to:

  • Encourage Deep Relaxation: Help the nervous system settle and the body unwind.
  • Support Meditative Awareness: Create a calm, reflective state that invites inner listening.
  • Enhance Introspection: Gently deepen connection with emotions, sensations, and inner insight.
  • Open the Door to Stillness: Prepare the mind and body for deeper breathwork and reflection.

This intentional tea ritual allows us to arrive fully in the present moment — softening the mind, opening awareness, and preparing the body for the breathwork journey that follows.

An immersive process that can open deeper emotional layers, bring meaningful insights, and create moments of profound calm and presence. You may experience movement where things felt stuck, clarity where there

I must say the breathwork workshop was such a relaxing session. It felt like an inner detox. The workshop helped me think even more clearly, gain confidence, and be open to heal. After this workshop I realised how important it is to process our emotions & allow it to be as it is without putting any pressure on it. Thank youu for the lovely session Smylee. I hope you start taking like a weekly/ monthly course..

I thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was definitely very soothing and very relaxing to the point that I fell in deep sleep immediately after the breath work was completed.

Got to experience breathwork with Smylee and it was an amazing experience. It was everything she promised it would be and much more. Being on a healing journey I'm aware of my traumas and what needs more work, so I'd come in expecting to release them stored traumas during breathwork.. but what I experienced was so much love and beauty that I cannot express with words. Which was truly transformative to me as my focus had been on my traumas that I failed to acknowledge the love, light and compassion that I'm capable of and filled with and this experience brought that out for me. And Smylee had a wonderful presence through the experience being there and making us feel hand held through out! Much thanks and grateful for facilitating this experience and I can't wait to have more sessions soon! 🌸

To be honest I didn’t know what to expect out of this session. I was just wanting to have a relaxed feeling in and out. The session gave me the exact same feeling. Loved the way you started the session with setting intentions and calling the ancestors and spirits for guiding us through this process. The way you made me comfortable and understood what kind of release and pain I was going through the session was noteworthy. Also the oils made me feel good and relaxed throughout the session. The way you made me go through my childhood using the inner child exercise made me understand how to bring back that child like innocence and take away some serious emotions that I was going through. After the session I felt like I had a deep cleanse in my system and felt amazing. I would highly recommend Smylee for her breath work sessions.

"Cannot truly put down all the feelings and emotions I felt during the session. I came merely to show my support for you but I did not expect to experience what I did. It was self awakening and I can definitely say I've learnt to love myself a little bit more after your session. During the last part of the session, I traveled to places I didn't even know existed in my mind and it was a surreal experience. Thank you so much, Smylee. ❤️ You're amazing!"

Alchemy of peace - Breathwork workshop, was a magical experience true to its name. I love how you created a safe space where we could all just be ourselves . Intropection through fun activities was enjoyable. My most favourite part of the session was eye gazing with a partner. It helped us bring out the empathetic side of us. Needless to say about the breathwork , it was out of the world experience that can’t be described with words. Essential oils , rose petals , little altar with candles and madurai mallis made the experience all the more special. Looking forward for more such workshops from you ❤️

I stand as a witness to tell that restless ppl like me can also experience this calm to the point you never wanted the session to end. This is not about religion, it's about relaxing the mind and a free will to have a peaceful time of worship

"The guided breathwork session was a profoundly transformative experience for me with each activity being powerful in its own way. Beginning with the guided mediation which anchored me back into my body, the reflective exercise that brought back some memories from childhood and new insights into them and finally the breathwork itself by the end of which I felt like had woken up from a deep state of rest. I had the embodied sensation that my whole being- the body and the energy had been cleansed and re-wired making me feel like a new me. It was phenomenal. Kudos to Smylee for being such a powerful facilitator. I hope to be a part of more such sessions in the future for deeper healing and rest. Thank you."

I came into the Guided Breathwork for Self Love workshop not really knowing what to expect. I recently moved to Chennai and was eager to find opportunities to connect with myself and explore more. Throughout the experience, I was able to get in touch with emotions that I wasn’t even aware of and find a positive and helpful way to release negative experiences and feelings from the past to embrace the current moment.

"Being a physical trainer myself, the breath work session was a very fresh and new experience to me. Prior to the session I was feeling mentally stressed however post I felt very light and fresh. Besides the technique thought, the way Smylee handled the class was great as she was very patient, open to answering my doubts and felt like she could empathise with not just me but the whole class. This was my first time but will definitely not be my last! I hope to attend as many sessions as I can in the future . P.S. Special mention to the Cacao drink we are given before the start😀"

"It was my first time doing a breathwork workshop and a cacao ceremony, and I wouldn't want to do it again with anyone but Smylee Nallalagu. Her workshop was so Calming, yet energetic and I felt a shift in me at the end of it. Smylee's energy was a THING to watch. She helps you set intentions powerfully, and guides you every step of the way through the process of breathwork🫂 There were times when I felt like things I had been avoiding were surfacing and it started getting very real, I felt tingling all over my face and some tiny convulsions in my hands, but Smylee was always around to help me ground, making me feel safe to feel things. I was able to hit the PAUSE I wanted for so long, in the comfort that Smylee creates in her workshop🙌 10/10, 5 stars to her, for helping me release the pain I held on so hard to, for so long. DEFINITELY coming back here, and Can't wait to experience her MAGIK again✨"

"I came in for the session with a very anxious mind. I did not know what to expect but at the same time I had so much on my mind. But as soon as we stepped in to the studio, a sense of calm filled me. Right from the altar, ensuring a correct temperature throughout the session, the yummy cacao and personal attention to one and all - it was an experience that will stay with me for quite some time now."

"I loved the cacao ceremony and breathwork session. It was a very first experience for me. I had no idea about the session and came with zero expectations, just to experience it. I felt positive throughout my body by the end. The 45 minutes breathwork was amazing. Those let-gos and manifestations really helped me. Thank you so much for this wonderful session. Looking forward for more 😄"

‘ It was my first session with Smylee but as soon as she entered the room it was as though she is my friend and well wisher. Her energy is very calming and positive and it radiates into the room as well. The cacao experience was something very new and the process of collectively blessing it, especially on a strong full moon, really amplified how positive I felt by the end of it. ‘

What a way to end the year! Thank you for the amazing and deep session. I felt very connected to my spirit guides. There was also so much undoing and letting go of energies that were pinning me down... you have the gift to hold space for others in such a beautiful way ❣️

I am so glad that I came across your Instagram page and decided to attend the cacao ceremony + breathwork session. For me it was trying out something new and I wasn’t expecting anything. But it completely changed my perspective. It was a very amazing experience. How the session started by completing the circle and everyone blessing everyone’s cacao drink (so yummy) and drinking the every sip of it with a positive affirmation has set the energy level of the room so high. From then on it was going all high and good and at the end of the session I could feel that stress has been released from the body and I was more happy than usual. Thankyou so much for spreading so much love around. Your hugs are the best.
