Special Days :)

This was our view during yoga!
What an amazing way to start the day or a wedding weekend.
I have the most amazing job in the world! :)

Today I had the wonderful privilege of teaching sunrise yoga on the beach for a clients wedding weekend!  Her Bridal party and close friends gathered this morning at 7am on the south end of Pawleys Island for an hour of flow yoga and breathing before the wedding festivities began this afternoon.  Having gotten married last year this time I remember very clearly how special every moment of wedding weekends are and I was completely honored to be included in this one! Congrats to the soon to be happily married yogini and her very lucky husband to be!
