Why letting your freak flag fly is a damn good thing!

A Weekend with David Romanelli (Scottsdale…May 18-19)
I’m coming back to Phoenix to teach my brand new workshop experience: Yoga & You, a weekend filled with rockin’ tunes, exotic chocolate, fine wine, and flowing yoga.
Many years after it’s initiation, my Yoga & Chocolate experience has taken a whole new delicious spin. My co-creator, Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges Haut-Chocolat, was recently named by Fortune Magazine as one of the Top 40 Entrepreneurs under 40.

Run-In With a Senior Yoga Guru
This past weekend I had the honor and pleasure of teaching Yoga and Chocolate at the Yoga Journal Conference in San Francisco. I’m well aware that Yoga and Chocolate is something a senior teacher or two has been known to question. That being said, I took as many classes as I could from all the [...]

When Yogis Get Rich
Given the popularity of yoga, the number of yoga entrepreneurs and companies who have struck it rich (really rich) is surprisingly small. Soon you’ll be able to add David Romanelli to that list because I have come up with an idea that is freakin’ awesome. The Yoga Scarf otherwise known as The Y’Arf (see photo [...]

Crappy Wedding Gift
I haven’t gotten married yet, but being 36 years old, I’ve been to a lot of weddings. Is it me or are they freakin expensive? Airfare for 2, hotel room, and then, the gift. A few weeks ago I attended a wedding of someone who does not read The Schtick. I spent $737 on airfare [...]

Big, Round, Hefty…Sexy
Over the past year, I’ve lost some weight and coincidentally, the size of my local yoga classes has shrunk. Like these classes, my body shape has changed from that of a plump macaroon to something more like a banana. Hmmmm. While we might think that slender bodies are considered more attractive, the research shows that [...]

My Days as a Nudist
I was reading recently that humans are the only mammals who hide their private parts. Obviously, we are also the only mammals to wear clothes. But what if we walked around with our privates exposed? Would you think differently of a good friend you discovered had a tiny wanker? Would an Amazon rainforest sprouting just [...]

My Night with Snoop Dogg
In my 36 years, I’ve seen some great live shows ranging from Axl Rose performing an acoustic version of Freefallin with Tom Petty to the Grateful Dead’s first time playing Baba O’Reilly (Teenage Wasteland) to Prince’s Purple Rain tour with my parents (embarrassing). Nothing and I mean nothing compared to seeing the “D” “O” “Double [...]

Dirty Adjustment?
I once heard Shiva tell a story of a very senior teacher farting while lying on top of her during an adjustment… which must have been the most awkward thing ever. So I hesitate to lie on students. But I’d like to share something even more awkward. Being my first week back teaching in Arizona, [...]
