I recently read a story in the book WALK IN THE WOODS about a young boy named David Anderson who was camping with his family in Lake Canimina in Western Quebec.  In the middle of the night, a bear prowling the campsight sniffed around David's tent. The bear liked what it smelled, bit into one of David's limbs, and dragged him screaming thru the camp and into the woods. By the time his family knew what was going on, the young boy was dead. I know; not a pleasant story.

I don't tell you this to scare you. I only tell you this because life is short and shit happens. NOW is the time to live fully and join me for a wilderness expedition where you are protected from bears in a luxurious setting called the Red Mountain Spa. And if you are still scared, know that I, Bar-Mitzvah trained, am there for your safety.  The Red Mountain Spa's insanely gorgeous canyon setting, inspired yoga classes featured never-before-heard themes, soothing massages, and dining with a perfect Spring sun setting over your shoulder all suggest a weekend that will be one of the great ones in 2008.  AND IT'S ONLY FOR A WEEKEEND SO YOU'll BE AWAY JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME TO RELAX AND REFRESH without getting in trouble with the loved ones back at home.

All participants will receive long head massages, a full take-home set of the weekend music, endless amounts of flowing Vosges Chocolate, delicious wines specially selected by Red Mountain's award-winning sommelier, late night fireside chats featuring my full array of terrible jokes, and last but not least, newfound connections with cool people you'd never otherwise know. "You don't age until your regrets outnumber your dreams." LET'S LIVE IT UP April 17-20.

Sicilian winery Feudo Arancio is sponsoring an amazing new year of Yoga + Wine. If you are a wine connoisseur, you'll learn to enjoy your love in a post-yoga state of heightened sensory awareness. If you are a wine novice, you'll learn the tricks of the trade so you can bullshit your wino friends into thinking you're a pro. If those aren't reasons enough, check out the upcoming Yoga + Wine schedule of events:




August 31-September 5
Yoga + Wine in Sicily with me and Angela Gargano

Our last Yoga + Wine Journey to Umbria was nothing short of amazing. Everyone gained 10 pounds of passion and pasta as we toured the central Italian countryside, stayed in sweet villas with fine touches of Italian style, enjoyed morning yoga sessions inspiring fresh perspective, and dined in unique and unforgettable restaurants such as an ancient monastery converted to a restaurant fit for a king. We figured something this special required a sequel! We are excited to announce the next Yoga + Wine adventure (August 31-September 5) to the cultural and epicurean paradise of Sicily.

Imagine a life where you eat better, enjoy more, and live longer!  Welcome to Mediterranean living; welcome to Yoga + Wine in Sicily. Join me and wine educator and founder of Bliss Flow Yoga Angela Gargano this August 31 to September 5 for the experience of a lifetime. These 6 days and 5 nights on the exotic island of Sicily will focus on the food, pace, and perspective that make Mediterranean living the stuff of dreams.

Culture, art, food, wine and beautiful surroundings; these are the paramount reasons for going to Sicily, but add yoga to the mix and you've got The Perfect Vacation! After a daily morning yoga practice, you will leave your yoga mat behind and set out to enjoy Sicily's glorious landscapes, exquisite and breathtaking works of art, magnificent food and luscious wines.  Sicily requires a certain knowledge, style and perspective to appreciate its layers of history, from Greek and Roman ruins to amazing French, Spanish and Arab architecture.  Being that Angela is from Sicily, she and Shop, Wine and Dine will present an expert  tour thru Sicily's culture, history, and lifestyle. Our retreat will be sponsored by renowned Sicilian winery, Feudo Arancio, and will include a tour of their facilities. Learn more about why these wines, made from native Sicilian varietals, are so special to us!

The next era of Yoga + Wine begins on Saturday, March 1 from 1:30-3:30pm at Exhale Santa Monica. Angela Gargano and I will  present Epicurean Enlightenment or one might say: YOGA AND FEAST. Here's some more info:

This 2 hour experience will focus on how to best pair food with wine, and spirit with passion to achieve enhanced sensation and higher vibration. You will begin with my 90 minute flowing vinyasa yoga class that will focus on making important decisions from your most natural state. When we act hastily from a stressed state, we make bad decisions that sour the soul. Such decisions are  like pairing dessert wine with steak..yuck. After class when you are refreshed and relaxed, sommelier Angela Gargano will lead you thru a tasting of wines from the Feudo Arancio vineyards in Sicily. She will teach you how to pair wine and food so that you can reach peak states of epicurean ecstasy. For instance, opposites attract. Angela will show you things such as how a rich, salty blue cheese like a Stilton can be complimented by a rich, honey like Sauternes; or spicy thai noodles bring out the best in a sweet gewurztraminer. You will leave with newfound knowledge of food and wine, body and spirit.  YES THIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE AN AMAZING FOOD AND WINE TASTING AFTER THE YOGA EXPERIENCE.

I finished my book, LIVIN' THE MOMENT, and now it needs to bake in the oven before it's published in the near future by Broadway Books/Random House. I  In the meantime, check out what will be AWESOME Livin the Moment weekends in Washington DC, Chicago,  and New Jersey.  A Livin' the Moment weekend features accessible gateways by which to find a more deeply present moment and take time away from the bump and grind of everyday living. Such accessible gateways include flowing yoga, great music, exotic chocolate and fine wine

Join me:
 

February 22-24 at Sacred Spaces Yoga in the greater Washington DC

March 7-9 at Total Body Yoga in the greater Chicago area 

March 14-16 at the Yoga and Healing Center in Scotch Plains, NJ

March 28-30 at Evolution Yoga in Cleveland, OH

Each weekend will feature not just one experience but a complete journey starting Friday with 45 minutes of audio-visual inspiration that will illustrate the power of a deeply present moment; continuing with a new evolution of chocolate powered yoga and wine-inducing ecstasy; and finishing with a slam bang of great music and a shift in perspective that will leave you fired up for the best Spring ever!

All weekends feature equally fun and boredom-proof info that is totally different from what I've presented in previous trips!

 

 

If your working environment could benefit from some fresh perspective and exotic chocolate, check out my Livin the Moment speech. I will show how your everyday passions can unlock the power of a deeply present moment. Modern research proves that one who is more present finds more success in every aspect of life from work to marriage to parenting. Having been presented to Veuve Clicquot and American Express to name a few, the Livin' the Moment speech is fresh, well-researched, and sexy (if I don't say so myself).
