    Yoga For Chocolate Lovers

    IDR

    Whether or not you've experienced David Romanelli's Yoga + Chocolate workshops through the years, this will be the single most savory and delicious Yoga + Chocolate workshop ever. A 5 hour intensive.

    For those who may or may not be advanced in the ways of yoga but have a very advanced passion for chocolate, this will be a workshop that will stretch not just your body but also your taste buds. This intensive will begin with a vinyasa flow focused on awakening your sense of sight, hearing, touch, and smell. So much of life in the modern day is based solely on the mind. When we live through the senses, we restore not just our sanity but also our humanity. As you are completely revitalized, you will ground down with a deep stretch experience that will enable you to transcend body consciousness and awaken a deeper essence. In the last part of class, an elaborate tasting of classic and brand new samples from Vosges Haut-Chocolat, you will have a heightened sense of life, passion, and flavor...with a message that will stay with you for a long, long time: EVERYTHING IS SWEETER IN THE MOMENT.
