About the Teacher
Since 2004, Yahoo! Wellness Expert David Romanelli has been traveling the world sharing his Yoga + Chocolate and Yoga + Wine experiences. The purists have been known to challenge his blending of ancient tradition with modern tastes, sounds, and passions. But those who prefer their yoga coated in chocolate, seasoned with humor, and lavished with Marley have enjoyed his workshops and books:

Workshops/Offerings
Grateful Dead Hour Yoga
It’s been 16 years since the passing of Jerry Garcia and the subsequent break-up of the Grateful Dead. Why not bring them back for an evening of flowing vinyasa yoga set to some of the great musical moments in Grateful Dead history?
You’ll see how a little 1960s psychedelia can further your practice and take you deeper into your backbends, twists, and folds. If you miss Jerry, and it’s been way too long since your last long, strange trip . . .
Yoga For Foodies
Yoga for Foodies session begins with my flowing yoga class whose message and music emphasize a more sustainable pace. When we move in a frenzied way through the day, we don’t eat, we “feed.” This high-velocity lifestyle diminishes the flavor and essence of life.
In the process, we’ve grown accustomed to eating on the run often being “nourished” by a bag of chips and a sandwich to go.
Our palates have evolved to crave tastes that are invented in factories by food scientists rather than tastes that grow from the earth and nourish the body and soul.
Whether being only partially present at a child’s school play, barely responsive to a spouse’s bad day, or sadly unaware of a full moon’s rays, we are missing important events in our lives…not because we don’t care, but because we’re so busy.
Yoga & Chocolate
The Yoga + Chocolate experience highlights an exotic Vosges chocolate truffle as a secret gateway to the richer life available in the present moment. It’s not just chocolate…I’ll show you how great music, yoga, wine, or any everyday passion can become an accessible gateway to the present moment.
Yoga & Wine
Following in the footsteps of Yoga + Chocolate, Dave has teamed up with wine connoisseur and yogini Angela Gargano (www.blissflowyoga.com) to present Yoga + Wine. The aging of wine is a noble process that can serve as a model for the “healthy aging” of a human being.
In your post-yoga splendor, the featured chef will delve into the mystery of their creations while guiding you through a feast.
