Yogis Gone Wild? Yoga & Wine Event at DC Ranch, Jan 28<br />
The DC Ranch <strong>Village</strong> yoga community recently gathered for a themed Flow class<br />
taught by Samantha Lang, followed by a guided wine tasting by club member and<br />
professional wine distributor, Craig Dziadowicz. “Detox / Retox” provided a fun and<br />
educational opportunity to draw parallels between the yogic experience of heightened<br />
physical awareness and the mindful experience of tasting the complexities of wine.<br />
The group packed the yoga studio to capacity, allowing for a great detox—deep<br />
breathing, twisting, lifting, and sweating it out for 75 minutes. After class, participants<br />
assembled in the conference room to taste four Italian wines carefully selected by<br />
Dziadowicz to match the flow and progression of a yoga class. Members and guests<br />
took full advantage of gaining new wine knowledge from our on-hand expert, as they<br />
enjoyed a special Saturday afternoon of yoga, wine, and socializing.<br />
