Following in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed Yoga + Chocolate experience, David Romanelli has teamed up with wine connoisseur and yogini Angela Gargano (www.blissflowyoga.com) to present Yoga + Wine. In this workshop David will begin by exploring the aging of wine as a noble process that can serve as a model for the "healthy aging" of a human being. He will the lead you through a flowing yoga class set to great music before he delivers you deeply into the present moment where you?ll taste flavors, hints and textures of wine that are impossible to experience in a harried state of mind. You will leave fully embracing the idea that "you don't age until your regrets outnumber your dreams." (John Barrymore) Imagine flowing yoga, wine, great music, inspiring spiritual message...all in one beautiful experience.
The Yoga + Wine workshops will feature wines of Sicily from the Arancio winery. Featured varietals will include Grillo and Nero d'Avola The history of wine cultivation in Sicily goes back at least 6,000 years. In fact, during the time of the Greeks, Sicily (known at that time as Magna Grecia or 'Greater Greece') was truly the heart of wine cultivation in the Mediterranean. Historic texts from this time often refer to Sicily as Oenotria or 'The Land of the Staked Vines'. For Sicilians wine has always been more than just a beverage...in the Mediterranean world, wine has always carried a spiritual significance. From the cults of Dionysus and Bacchus in Greece and Rome to the sacred significance of wine in religious context, wine has always symbolized life, fertility, pleasure and the blessings of 'mother earth'.

The Yoga + Wine Experience
David's 90 minute flowing vinyasa yoga class set to great music will inspire a deeper look at youthfulness not as wrinkled skin but as a vibrant spirit. David will explore how some people that are old seem really young; while some people that are young seem really old. 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 Sicilian varietals such as Grillo and Nero d'Avola. You'll finish realizing that like a great wine, a human can age with boldness, character and grace. More importantly, you'll see 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.
