Yoga Poses to Ease Pre-Wedding Jitters

Wedding planning is an incredibly stressful thing. The week leading up to your big day is possibly the most nerve-wracking of all! Every bride wants to look good, feel good, and have the best time possible on her wedding day. Yoga can be just the thing to help ease those pre-wedding jitters.

If you already know about the amazing benefits of yoga, great! Now is the time to access all you've learned and put that powerful yoga to work for you.

If you don't know about what yoga can do for you, it's easy enough to learn a few moves. You can do yoga at your own pace, and to the best of your ability. No one judges during yoga – as long as you don't strain or stress your body, you should begin to feel the positive effects immediately.

Some poses to help you relax before getting married. Do these in order, before you go to bed at night, to calm your nerves and help you sleep better. Take a minimum of 6 cleansing breaths while holding each pose, before moving on to the next.
