Yoga + Chocolate / October 1, 2004
A journey beyond the senses...
Yoga teacher and At One Yoga co-founder David Romanelli and Vosges Haut Chocolat founder and 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, wasabi 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 (www.yeahdaveyoga.com). Katrina and David launched the Yoga + Chocolate experience in a 2004 retreat to Oaxaca, Mexico. The Yoga + Chocolate experience has since been featured in The New York Times, Marie Claire, and The CBS News. There is nothing better to free the mind than flowing yoga, delicious chocolate, and great music... imagine all three in one amazing experience!
The class description:
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 milk chocolate, fleur de sel gray sea salt, and hickory smoked almonds. 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.
About David Romanelli:
After graduating college, David Romanelli started taking yoga and loved it so much he quit his job working for NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal and moved to Arizona to open yoga studios. Along with some great friends, he co-founded At One Yoga (www.atoneyoga.com) which consists of 3 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 unique spin to his traditional vinyasa flow 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 (www.yeahdaveyoga.com). Imagine spirituality with a rock n' roll sensibility! David is the Yoga Health Expert on Yahoo! and presented the Power of Being Present at the 2005 INC. 500 Conference.
