Your wedding is an exciting and magical time of year in your life. You’ve spent so much of your time, energy, and resources planning, maybe even following through with a vision you had for yourself when you were a little girl. The countdown is on, and you’re feeling excited and joyful that you’re getting married and get to celebrate your love and commitment to your significant other.

At the same time you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, hoping that the pieces come together smoothly so that your wedding vision comes to life.

There’s nothing like starting your wedding day with yoga to not only calm your nerves but to connect with yourself, partner, and those nearest and dearest to you on a deeper level.

Here are 5 Benefits of Practicing Yoga on Your Wedding Day

  1. De-stress mentally and physically to help keep the immune system strong. We all know that stress can take a major toll on the immune system, and at this point in time all of our immune systems could use an extra boost. Yoga can help calm your nerves or anxious jitters so that you can feel less stressed, settle tension in your chest, keep your immune system strong, and make room for love.

  2. Connect positively with those around you who are celebrating your wedding planning journey and celebration. Yoga is all about connection. Connecting with yourself on a deeper level to live authentically, which allows you to connect on a deeper level with your loved ones who are there to celebrate you and your partner on your special day.

  3. Boost your happiness and mood. Your wedding day is supposed to be a day that you enjoy, but oftentimes it’s easy to get caught up in the last minute details, small hiccups, or even family drama. Yoga can help clear your mind, elicit feelings of joy and contentment, and promote a sense of positive energy.

  4. Get centered, mentally and physically so that you can be fully present. If there’s one piece of advice I can give you as a recent bride, it’s to really soak in your special day. You spent so much time and energy planning, it is meant to be enjoyed. Yoga help you connect with your body, breath, self, and above all the present moment so that you can truly embrace your special day.

  5. Stay in touch with what your wedding is all about. Your wedding day is about celebrating your love and commitment with your partner surrounded by those who LOVE and support you.
