Sedona, Ariz. (October 3, 2007) - Mii amo, a destination spa at Enchantment, will host a retreat with Yahoo's mind-body and yoga expert, David Romanelli Thursday, November 1 to Sunday, November 4. Participants will discover an ancient and pure source of power, beauty and inspiration: The Present Moment.
"For this four-day retreat, I will emphasize the power of
The Moment and how to access this power through flowing yoga, music, exotic tastes and ancient wisdom," says Romanelli. "Experience the seven energy centers the yogis call chakras thru chocolate, wine, rhythms and melodies. Embracing each energy center in this way helps one to be more settled in purpose, inspired by passion and open to a full spectrum of emotions."
Highlights include:
•
CHOCOLATE CHAKRA TOUR - This yoga class is designed to stimulate the seven energy centers known as chakras. After class, you will be led through a flight of seven chocolate truffles from Vosges Haut-Chocolat. Each truffle is specially chosen to stimulate a given chakra.
•
YOGA & WINE - David will lead a flowing vinyasa yoga class that begins with old vine zinfandel chosen to emphasize the beauty and depth of age in both a wine and human being.
•
GROUP YOGA PRACTICE - This morning movement practice brings all participants together to share what they have learned and to spend The Moment together.
•
YOGA & CHOCOLATE - David will lead you through his signature flowing yoga class that begins and ends with a Vosges Chocolate truffle.
•
GROUP BREAKFAST & CLOSING CEREMONY - The weekend will close with a review of skills, stories and sensations that will help you claim more moments in your daily life.
