120224089.jpg

You’re getting married! Congratulations! You have the perfect ring, your engagement was everything you ever dreamed of, and you have the venue booked. Everything is falling into place. Well, it’s all falling into place for YOU. Your Maid of Honor, on the other hand, is struggling to plan the perfect bachelorette party for you and your closest friends. Fortunately, you have a great idea: a yoga retreat!


Research shows that brides feel significant amounts of stress in the weeks leading up to their wedding. The original intent of the bachelorette party was to relieve some of this stress and anxiety involved around wedding planning. But, over the years, they’ve turned into stressful endeavors in and of themselves!

Thankfully, yoga retreats offer a great alternative to the traditional weekend of drinking and nightclubbing!
Yoga retreats are short getaways designed to give you a break from the busy world around you. You eat healthy food, stretch and strengthen your body, and relax your mind. All in all, this is a great way to calm down and prepare for your upcoming wedding! In between all the cake tasting, dress fittings, and marriage counseling sessions, it’s nice to take some time to relax and unwind.

Yoga retreats last anywhere for a few hours to a few weeks. During the program, participants are removed from their usual surroundings and allowed to relax somewhere more serene and comforting. Typically, specially-trained chefs create gourmet meals, with a focus on healthy, organic ingredients, and yoga classes are offered several times a day. When not in class, guests go on nature walks, journal, listen to music, and focus on emotionally centering themselves.

It’s easy to imagine doing the downward dog on a picturesque beach or mastering headstands with a beautiful mountain backdrop. There are a wide range of yoga retreats offered. You can choose an upscale, resort style program, or a more rustic and woodsy style. With a little research, you can find the perfect yoga retreat for your budget and personal preferences!

Yoga improves flexibility, increases muscle strength, and lowers the levels of the hormone Cortisol in your body. Research shows that having excess Cortisol can increase your chances of suffering a heart attack or anxiety attack. Needless to say, yoga is a great tool to keep you happy and healthy! It reduces your overall stress and makes you approach your wedding day with a sense of collectedness and poise. Anyone who has ever gotten married can agree that these are important qualities to have! Getting married is stressful enough- your bachelorette party doesn’t have to be!

You may be worrying about whether or not you and your bridesmaids are physically capable of participating in a yoga retreat. Don’t worry, though. Yoga is a sport for everyone! Whether or not you’ve ever tried to become “one with your mat” before, you’ll quickly become comfortable with the different poses and body positions.

Bachelorette parties don’t have to be crazy, weekend-long alcohol drinking adventures. Instead, they can be calming and relaxing yoga retreats. Don’t settle for tradition. If you’re looking for a unique way to prepare for your wedding, book a yoga retreat today!

    Increasing Flexibility – yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.

    Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.

    Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorde

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well.
