Yoga for Brides: Get Lean, Fit and Calm for Your Wedding
Summertime is wedding season and every bride wants to look lean, fit, and calm when she flows down the aisle to say “I do”. A great way to achieve elevated physical and mental states is through a Yoga practice. Yoga combines the toning and strength building aspects of fitness and exercise with the relaxation and stress reduction benefits of meditation. Brides find that yoga is a great way to prepare for their wedding.
There are many postures in Yoga that can help with the toning of the arms and shoulders, often the place of most concern for brides because of strapless gowns. Yoga is different from weight lifting in that you bear the body’s own weight on the arms to achieve a more natural tone appropriate for your body type. Yoga poses like Plank, Downward Facing Dog and Chaturanga, the Yogic push up, are great for these areas. For more advanced practitioners arm balances like Crow Pose, Dolphin or Handstands are perfect ways to build strength, flexibility and tone. Additionally, opening the shoulder girdle leads to a more beautiful, upright standing posture illustrating confidence and grace as you walk.
Slim waistlines bring the tummy area into focus for brides. As mentioned above, many arm balance postures require core awareness to achieve them, so this area is also worked while holding these postures. In fact, most Yoga poses require core awareness. To be in proper alignment and to protect your body during practice your teacher will consistently ask you to be aware of the core. Yoga will not let the tummy go unnoticed!
The by-product of a consistent Yoga practice brings attention to your food choices as well. You may experience a lessened desire for heavy meals and or unhealthy food choices that may inhibit ease in your practice. You may also find your energy level increases, possibly decreasing your need for sugars and caffeine for that extra boost.
Yoga provides stress reduction and mental relaxation through the use of the breath. By becoming aware of the breath during the practice of movement, the mind begins to still. By the end of a Yoga practice, the mind has let go of time and task lists. A bride can learn the art of breathing to help her achieve composure throughout the whole wedding process.
Not only is Yoga excellent for the bride, but also it’s a great way to ground the energy of the bridal party and the rest of your family. Many brides use Yoga as a method to create balance and reduce the high emotional levels of their family members the day of. Brides have also turned to Yoga as a way of connecting with their family members in a fun and relaxing environment.
Yoga is appropriate for all fitness levels and age from teens to grandparents. The Yoga teacher you hire for your wedding will discuss this with you. It’s also super easy to set up. All that is needed is an open space, some mats and an open heart.
Brides try Yoga this summer and enlist your friends and family. Get lean and toned. Feel calm and ready for your wedding. Say, “I do” with grace, ease, confidence and beauty!
If you are interested in scheduling a Bridal Yoga Fitness program preparing you for your wedding day this summer, contact Nicole at nicolpresents@yahoo.com.
