Wedding Fitness - Yoga At The Top of The Shard

 

On a murky Saturday in June, my fiancé and I officially started our fitness ‘wedding prep’, daunting enough anyway, without having to do yoga at 1000 feet – at the top of The Shard!  I have dabbled in yoga in the past, but was always a little intimidated in class by my lack of flexibility, and my impatience with, as well as un-relatable hippie teachers.  My fiancé booked it as a little treat to kick start our fitness plan in the run up to the wedding (10 months to go at this point), but I can’t say I was initially looking forward to it.  However, seeing how excited he was about it (naive – since he had never done yoga before!) was motivating, for the yoga and the wedding!  It was a nice sentiment; something we could do together as a time out from all the wedding stuff.
