A Bridesmaid yoga guide for The Bachelorette
Adding yoga to your bachelorette party Can truly make a world of difference in how you or the bride feels on the wedding day. Take a break from the hectic preparations to try something new and wholesome. The complete yoga guide.
Weddings are the perfect time to include lots of Yoga practice, whether you are the bride, the bridesmaid, or a family member. As weddings are tiring and stressful, a little bit of Yoga can go a long way in boosting your energy and giving you some of that post-practice zen and glow! So, if you are planning to give your friend, the to-be bride, a Yoga bachelorette party, here is what you should keep in mind.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT STYLE
Gentle, relaxing vinyasa flows would be excellent for a pre-wedding yoga practice. Discuss with the teacher to focus more on beginner-friendly backbends and hip stretches; the class will work as a proper recharge station! It will help you tackle anxiety, open up the body, and the rhythmic coordinated movements help you feel refreshed.
More importantly, they would be suitable for everyone, at all levels of practice, making sure no one feels left out. If you're up for a bit a lot of journeys, booking a Partner Yoga class can be both fun and exciting. Make sure there is time reserved for Pranayama and Meditation as they help with deep relaxation – the bride will thank you for it!
GIFT THE BRIDE A PRIVATE YOGA CLASS
Nothing works like a little me-time and some self-care. You can make this a unique experience by gifting her a special class that includes singing bowl meditation or a candle-lit practice, or a fusion class that combines music and aromatherapy to enliven multiple senses. Discuss with a teacher and come up with something special just for her. Even better if you can follow it up with an Ayurvedic Massage.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TIME & LOCATION
Weddings are hectic, so it is essential to choose a reasonable hour for the practice that gives people enough time to sleep (important!). In terms of location, the outdoors is the best if the weather permits. You would also be taking a lot of pictures, so see if you can schedule the class around the Golden Hour when natural sunlight itself ensures beautiful views. Golden Hour is the time one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset. It passes quickly and is easy to miss, so ensure you keep sufficient buffers.
INCLUDE WHOLESOME MEALS
Get rid of the bloating and counter some of those champagne evenings with a healthy, wholesome meal after the practice. You can include a probiotic drink like Kombucha or Kefir, vibrant smoothie bowls, nutritious energy bars, and juices. It will give everyone’s systems a much-needed break, and the spike in energy levels will make the wedding celebrations that much more enjoyable.
