Once upon a time, a friend and fellow yoga teacher asked me to teach her and her family and wedding party a yoga class on her Wedding Day. We happened to be in Mexico (which in the dead of a Pacific Northwest winter was a MOST welcome wedding destination!), staying at a lovely beachfront establishment in the little town of Troncones. The setting was absolutely perfect – wouldn’t you want to do yoga here?

Bride or groom, most can agree that planning a wedding is no picnic. The Biggest Day of Your Life shouldn’t also be the Most Stressful.

It was awesome to have the opportunity and honor to lengthen and strengthen bodies, clear minds, and increase everyone’s breath capacity that morning. After the class, my friend gushed about what a luxury it was to have a way to wake up, show up and practice and that everyone should have a scheduled practice session on their big day.

Fast forward a year and change later, as I blogged here I had donated a class to AGrandWedding.com’s summer event at the Alexis Hotel (one of my fave of the many awesome boutique hotels in Seattle), Beyond The Boa: Seattle’s Largest Bachelorette Party.

The lucky purchaser tied the knot on one of the most beautiful weekends Seattle’s seen all summer, so we were lucky enough to be able to have class outdoors at the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. Here’s our gang of wedding merry-makers on one of the grassy landings outside the museum:

Now, if you’re thinking of having yoga on your wedding day or weekend, please allow me the kindness of offering one word of advice: schedule the class and plan for it months in advance. Everyone knows that things can get hectic, especially as your wedding date approaches. So book it, forget about it, and have an extra reason to smile on Day One of the rest of your life!
