Throw a Yoga Party

It's this fun idea where you invite a bunch of friends over, hire a yoga instructor to come to your place, and then enjoy a relaxing hour or two of asanas and meditation together.
What's great is that a party like this appeals to beginners and experienced yogis alike. Your friends who are already dedicated to their practice can spend time doing something they love, plus newbies can try out poses in a comfortable and non-threatening environment.
Here are some ideas to make your yoga celebration extra special:
- Chat with the instructor you're hiring before the night of the party. Decide what sort of practice you want to host -- something easy and laid-back with restorative postures? Or something more energizing? By planning ahead, you'll be able to let your guests know what to expect.
- Light candles for the practice. How cute are these ones?
- Leave a few yoga books on your coffee table so friends can peek and learn more. I recommend the Bandha Yoga series, Stephen Cope's The Wisdom of Yoga or Bikram's guide. They are all fascinating!

- Change into a cozy dress afterward, and wear this festive snow-scented perfume.
- Serve organic baked treats and coconut milk chai to your guests while you chat and share about your experience.
Sounds like a wonderful party to me!
