DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa has a twist on eating chocolate, literally. The latest yoga class, ‘Chocolate-Covered Yoga’ teaches yogis how not only to calm the mind and exercise the body, but also how to heighten the senses, and experience sensations on a deeper level, such as more satisfying chocolate eating.

The class is a very fulfilling yoga class, physically, emotionally and spiritually through the use of three different elements; 1) chocolate tasting in which chocolate relates to different parts of the body and helps achieve a more sensual experience, 2) certain quotes the instructor will read during the class help yogis focus on their emotions, and of course 3) the asanas, or poses the class will do which provides the physical aspect of the class.
