Practicing couples' yoga on your honeymoon  is a fantastic way to begin your life together as a married couple. If you’re a "yogaholic" or not, why not bring some positive yoga energy and physical activity to your honeymoon suites? Whether you’re staying at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, a resort in Bali, or a humble cabin in Lake Tahoe, you can incorporate love and serenity and all things yoga into your honeymoon love nest.

Essentials
When packing for your honeymoon, include a separate yoga bag with these essentials:

• Two yoga mats
• Non-carcinogenic (such as soy-based) candles
• Relaxing music in the form of CDs or your iPod
• Sandalwood incense (the most calming scent)

Comfortably fitting yoga pants and tops that breathe

Special Requests
When you're making your reservations at your hotel, see if they will honor a few requests:

• Ask for a specific color scheme in your room. The color of the walls or drapes will impact your mood. (Yellow is optimistic, enhances concentration and speeds metabolism. Green symbolizes nature and is calming.)
• See if your room will have either a door or window facing nature such as a forest or the ocean.
• Ask about flooring. Hard-wood floors or thin carpet are best.
• Will the grounds have either a balcony or private backyard area?
• Does your room come with a DVD player? This gives you the option of following a yoga DVD if you don’t already have a routine.

Benefits
Doing yoga either together or separately on honeymoons can impact your relationship in a positive way. When you are performing yoga, you're taking care of your own mind and body, which gets you in better physical and mental shape to care for your new partner. Yoga gives you the ability to connect with your positive intentions, with the present, and with your better judgment. As you move through the poses for couples' yoga in honeymoon suites, there's a natural flow of giving and receiving. When you help each other through stretches and give massages, you can tap into a physical energy that you can carry with you throughout your honeymoon and after.

Honeymoon yoga can help you and your partner find your spiritual, mental and physical center. Here are some additional benefits:

• Massaging of all organs in the body (Yoga is the only activity that massages all of the internal organs and glands, including some organs that would otherwise go unstimulated for entire lifetime.)
• Increased lubrication of tendons, ligaments and joints
• Increased flexibility
• Detoxification of the body
• Increased overall muscle tone

Yoga Honeymoon Packages for Couples
If you and your partner want to center your honeymoon around yoga, you’re in luck! There are countless yoga retreats all over the country. Some of the themes these resorts feature include self-realization, meditation, love, finding the nature of the true self, and eternal energy.

Yoga is not only healthy for you as an individual, but for your new marital partnership as well. Nourishing your marriage with yoga is like watering a plant that will grow and blossom for years to come. So grab your mat and your hubby and have a beautiful and flexible honeymoon!

Namaste!
