It remains such an honour to be part of someone’s big day and with bookings in place for 2019 it is one of our favourite ways to spend our weekend mornings out of the studio. We believe that your day is all about connecting – connecting to your future partner firstly, followed by family and friends but at the beginning of the day, a beautiful way to ground yourself is to connect back to your yoga practice. We design a tailored class for you and your wedding party that is light hearted, soothing and nurturing and again totally for you! We plan everything around you down to the music you love! From one yogi bride to another, start your wedding day with connecting to your practice.

IT MAJORLY REDUCES STRESS

Heighten the sense of relaxation with a smooth slow flow yoga class tailored to your bridal party.

IT BOOSTS YOUR HAPPINESS

This is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. Unfortunately, too many brides get caught up in all the little details and family drama to enjoy their wedding the way they really should. Yoga can help with that. It clears your mind, decreases anxiety and promotes a sense of positive energy.

LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

Yoga will help to slow down that racing mind of yours. Enjoy the special moment, each glance, each smile and truly embrace your special day. A yoga class will help to unwind the mind and move with grace and ease.

IT IMPROVES POSTURE AND ALIGNMENT

A pre-wedding yoga class will help you to stand tall after releasing some weight off your shoulders during your yoga flow. Feel and look good in your photos by gently supporting your posture and alignment.

ROCK THE YOGA GLOW

Yoga increases your circulation, in turn, giving you that gorgeous glow that all brides seek in those facial appointments.

YOGA BALANCES OUT YOUR EMOTIONS

We have seen tears, laughter and cheekiness in our yoga class, we are here to make sure you have a light practice. You may be surprised at how much yoga can settle your emotions before the big day. Radiate the beautiful and soft you!

“I started my Wedding day doing an early yoga class alongside my bridesmaids in Byron lead by Eliza. I have not done much yoga but I knew it would help to settle some nerves that were flying around. I really had no expectation before the class, but I am SO glad I included it in my day because it completely settled tension around my chest and calmed me down completely. Eliza’s lighthearted class allowed us to have fun, giggle and yet feel completely nurtured and grounded. I highly recommend starting your big day with yoga… and if you can! do it with Eliza” – DF Wedding Yoga Student Dani
