Namaste For the Big Day: Yoga For Weddings

FitSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

If you're planning a wedding-related party, anything from an engagement party to a bachelorette bash, why not do something a little different? Since weddings are pretty stressful, everyone will appreciate a party that'll help release some of the tension and anxiety. I'm talking about a Yoga Party, and it's sure to encourage some calmness, self-reflection, and emotional renewal, which every bride and bridesmaid need.

If you don't know of any Yoga instructors in your area, or if you happen to be traveling elsewhere for the party, why not hire someone from Yoga For Weddings? They offer special event packages so you can customize a bridal shower or bachelorette party. Currently, they have teachers in California, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Oregon. It may be just the thing if you're not into a night of strippers and barhopping.

If you're looking for more Yoga in your life, you don't have to stop at just one session. Yoga For Weddings also offers packages of six or 12 classes, or six months of classes — for yourself, you and the groom, or for you and your entire bridal party. It's a great way to stay fit, healthy, and centered in the time leading up to your special day.

Bachelorette Party Idea: Private Yoga Class

Not into doing shots and going to see male strippers for your bachelorette party? Instead of going out and getting a lap dance from some muscular stranger wearing a g-string, how about doing something centering and physical like a private yoga class?

You can hire an instructor you know or contact a local yoga studio. AN istructor could either come to your home, but if you don't have the space, you could have the private class at the studio or gym where they teach.

Or check out this service - Yoga for Weddings. It's made up of a network of yoga instructors from New York, London, Seattle, and Miami. Even if you don't live in those cities, if you book them far enough in advance, they can get an instructor to come to you wherever you are. You can do one private class or sign up for a class package.

Just e-mail or call Yoga for Weddings to discuss details or to schedule a private Yoga session.

I love this idea because it supports your healthy, active lifestyle. You can't get a massive headache hangover from a yoga class, but you may learn to stand on your head. Yoga is all about inspiring you to stretch and move your body, so you can open your heart and calm your mind. It'll be an experience you and your girlfriends will always remember.

FitSugar — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:00:00 -0800

For all you bride-to be's out there, I just came upon this great website called Yoga For Weddings. Basically, it's a service that offers private yoga classes for brides, grooms, and their families, focusing on de-stressing and making strong connections.

Real teachers will come to you, and give classes for the months leading up to your wedding, such as a Bride Class, Groom Class, Bride & Groom Class, Parent Class, In-Law Class, Bachelorette/Bachelor Party Class (definitely not your traditional party), Bridal Party Class, Sibling Class, Groom & Dad Class, Bride & Mom Class, Bride & Sibling Class, Groom & Mom Class, or Family Combo Class.

They offer private classes for the day or week of your wedding, and classes for after the wedding, like for your Anniversary (aww).

I love this idea. Currently, they have teachers based in New York, London, Seattle, and Miami, but they'll work with you through their network of yoga instructors, depending on where you need them. Just e-mail or call Yoga For Weddings - schedule one class or a class package, and they'll come to you, offering you peace and relaxation on your special day.
