I'm a yoga teacher, which means that I believe there's a yoga pose for pretty much any physical ailment, emotion, or circumstance. This, of course, does not exclude wedding planning.
Situation: You're engaged! Yay! Look at your new, shiny ring! Look at your fiance! He's so dreamy! Isn't he dreamy?
Yoga Pose: Downward-Facing Dog
Why? Down Dog is a great equalizer. It stretches your spine, tones the arms, calms your mind, and can help bring you into balance—and back into reality.
Situation: You just got engaged a week ago. You register at TheKnot.com to see that you're already behind schedule and there are 10 list items that you should've done weeks ago! How are you ever going to make this happen!?
Yoga Pose: Child's Pose
Why? Pressing your forehead into the earth is a soothing anxiety anticdote.
Situation: I'm tired of making 14,500 phone calls a day. Why won't anyone else help me!?
Yoga Pose: Wheel Pose
Why? Backbends are energizing. Stretching the heart open (chest and shoulders) makes you feel like you can do anything—even make another call to the caterer.
