 YOGA + CHOCOLATE
with David Romanelli
DATES: April 7, 8 and 9, 2006
LOCATION: GoodBody's Yoga Studio
LIVING YOGA DALLAS AND GOODBODY'S YOGA STUDIO PRESENT: Yoga + Chocolate
David Romanelli and Vosges Haut Chocolat founder chocolatier Katrina Markoff have been great friends since their college years. Katrina and David realized their careers each involved a unique type of "fusion." Katrina was fusing chocolate with curry, wasabe and chiles to create the Vosges experience. David was fusing the 5,000 year old practice of yoga with modern music ranging from Frank Sinatra to Puff Daddy and everything in between to create Yeah Dave Yoga. Katrina and David launched the Yoga + Chocolate experience in a 2004 retreat to Oaxaca, Mexico. The Yoga + Chocolate experience has been featured in The New York Times, Marie Claire, Fit Yoga, Breathe, and The Nikkei. There is nothing better to free the mind than flowing yoga, delicious chocolate, and great music... imagine all three in one amazing experience!
ABOUT DAVID ROMANELLI:
Upon graduating college, David Romanelli started taking yoga and loved it so much he decided to open a yoga studio. Along with some great friends, he co-founded At One Yoga, which consists of three state-of-the art studios in Phoenix and Scottsdale, 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.
As a yoga teacher David adds a fun spin to his traditional vinyasa flow classes. Growing up loving the Grateful Dead who'd play a different setlist at every show, David brings that same sense of uniqueness to each of his yoga classes. Every time you show up, you'll hear a different playlist and a new and inspiring message. He calls his style Yeah Dave Yoga and infuses spirituality with a rock n' roll sensibility!
Yeah Dave Yoga has come a great distance since its inception. David taught the Power of Being Present at the 2005 Inc. 500 Conference. David is a blogger on Yahoo! Health and teaches daily yoga classes at Exhale Sacred Movement in Santa Monica, California.
ITINERARY (subject to change):
Friday, April 7, 2006, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Yoga + Chocolate
The Yoga + Chocolate workshop will begin with a tasting of chocolatier
Katrina Markoff's Red Fire truffle consisting of Mexican ancho and
chipotle chile peppers, ceylon cinammon, and dark chocolate. This will set
the tone for David's 90 minute flowing vinyasa yoga class set to great
music that will inspire a deeper look at your truth, passion and purpose.
At the end of class, you will be in a deeply relaxed, totally present
state of mind as you are guided through a tasting of Katrina's Barcelona
bar made with dark chocolate and sea salt. You'll finish realizing that a
scattered mind diminishes your sense of taste, hearing and smell and
you'll remember that being present adds amazing flavor to every moment.
This will be the ultimate sensory experience... great music, flowing yoga,
inspiring spiritual message, and last but not least, a chocolate sensation
not to be forgotten. This workshop will focus on the first three chakras
and their inherent messages of purpose, power, and passion. Open to all
levels of experience.
Saturday, April 8, 2006, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Yeah Dave Yoga Flow Class
Enjoy a smooth, flowing yoga experience set to great tunes ranging from
the Grateful Dead to Mozart, Sinatra to Erykah Badu. This will be a
beautiful start to your Saturday morning and leave you sweaty, inspired
and ready to enjoy a beautiful Spring afternoon.

Yoga + Chocolate, The Sequel
If you loved Friday's workshop and you're ready for more and different
flavors of exotic chocolate or you didn't make it to Friday's event, then
this is the Yoga + Chocolate workshop for you. We'll begin with a tasting
of Katrina's Naga truffle consisting of Sweet Indian curry powder, coconut
flakes, and milk chocolate. This will set the tone for David's 90 minute
flowing vinyasa yoga class set to more great music and unique spiritual
messages.
At the end of class, you'll be in a deeply relaxed, totally
present state of mind as you are guided through a tasting of Katrina's
Black Pearl truffle made with Japanese ginger, wasabi, black sesame seeds
and dark chocolate. This workshop will focus on the upper chakras and
their inherent messages of love, truth, intuition, and inspiration.
If you're a chocolate lover with a passion for music and yoga, you'll want to
take both Friday and Sunday's workshops.
