Livin' The Moment
with Kendall Inman and
David Romanelli

DATES: September 13 - 16, 2007
LOCATION: Exhale Dallas

SOLD OUT! REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT.

Throughout history, many of the world's most prominent figures have accessed a sacred space from which they derived great power, wealth, skill, genius, and strength. This sacred space is The Present Moment. In this four day intensive with Yahoo's Mind-Body Expert David Romanelli and Living Yoga Dallas's Kendall Inman, you will learn about the power of The Moment and how to access this power through flowing yoga, great music, delicious Vosges Chocolate, soothing wine, and ancient wisdom from the sacred texts. The physical part of yoga is only the tip of the iceberg. If you love the natural high of a yoga class, imagine how good you'll feel by indulging the full body of knowledge dating back 5,000 years.

You will finish this experience with a better understanding of how to apply the practice, science, and benefits of yoga to your daily life. Most importantly, you will realize that by digging deeper into The Moment, you become a wealthier soul leading a more inspired  life.

ABOUT DAVID:
David Romanelli,  Yahoo’s Mind-Body Expert, is co-founder of At One Yoga, a chain of state-of-the art yoga studios in Arizona. A pioneering effort in the national yoga scene, At One Yoga fuses Western culture's fashion, music and technology with Eastern culture's sacred rituals and ancient tradition. David drew from this experience when creating a unique approach to yoga that would enable its continued growth especially to previously untapped segents of the population. Yeah Dave Yoga is David’s innovative combination of exercise, inspiring spirituality, and great music ranging from Frank Sinatra to the Grateful Dead.

David now tours the country presenting the Yoga + Chocolate experience which he created with good friend and Vosges Haut-Chocolat founder Katrina Markoff. Yoga + Chocolate demonstrates the enhanced power, perception and sensory awareness experienced in The Moment. Oprah Magazine listed Yoga + Chocolate on a short list of “What’s Hot in Yoga in 2007.” Just recently, David introduced the Yoga + Wine experience which was featured as a cover story in The New York Times. David teaches daily yoga class at Exhale in Santa Monica, California.

THE WORKSHOP:
Each of the four days will include a sweaty, vinyasa flow class to get the juices moving before David and Kendall teach the following:

CHAKRAS
According to the chakra system, you must water the roots and the leaves in order to nourish your being. By embracing the message inherent in each chakra, you will be more settled in your purpose, more inspired by your passion, and more open to life's full spectrum of emotion. A vibrant spirit not only restores health to the body but adds depth and space to the present moment. You will explore the 7 chakras thru the things you love most…yoga, chocolate, wine, and music.

RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
True Relaxation leads to Realization. When we experience deep sleep we reach states of unconscious mental activity where we enhance our vital energy.  This energy nourishes our spiritual, psychological and physical level of being while enhancing mental stability.  

You will explore techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing and the ancient relaxation technique known as Yoga Nidra to help you relieve stress, sink deeply into the Moment, and sleep better at night.  

STRENGTH
Strength is often associated with brute force and big muscles. But a different form of strength is necessary to hold the moment. You will study how Michael Jordan tapped a rare spiritual strength described in the Bhagavad Gita. You will learn how Einstein and Mozart utilized the brain to hone their genius. You will discover how Mother Theresa soothed a nation by opening her heart. These three strengths (spiritual, mental, and emotional) are the keys to unlocking the power of The Present Moment.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
The next frontier is not outer space but the vast mystery inside your noggin called the brain. You will learn how yoga helps to direct and focus mental activity so that you can harness the tremendous power of the subconscious mind. Now made famous in THE SECRET, the law of attraction will be a featured topic. The Greek root of the word “sin” means “to miss.” If we miss the moments, the law of attraction is nothing more than fool’s gold. If we hold the moment, we give the universe a chance to respond to our thoughts, dreams, and prayers.

ALIGNMENT AND BREATH
The Yoga Sutras describe asana as being both firm and soft. The art of “relaxed effort” not only improves your yoga practice but will enhance your approach to everyday challenges. You will explore a more efficient application of force as well as proper alignment in asana. “Alignment” in a yoga pose is metaphorical to alignment with your purpose, passion, and truth.

MUSIC
The lyrics, rhymes and rhythms of your favorite songs are gateways into deeply present moments full of passion, power, and healing. You will explore the healing effects of music ranging from Hip-Hip to hippy jambands to country.
