As you may have gathered, Mr. Knitting and I aren’t exactly “traditional.” Anything that’s incorporated into our wedding is there because it’s something we love and something that makes a lot of sense to us. Keeping that in mind, you probably won’t be too surprised with what we’ve decided to do for our rehearsal “dinner.”
Here’s a hint:
That’s right, we’re having a private yoga class. I can’t think of a better way to kick off our wedding weekend. Mr. Knitting and I love yoga, as do many of our family and friends. We like to joke that my family’s hobbies are yoga and vegan food as those are the two interests we all share. Even my BIL who is very dedicated to eating steak and not doing vigorous exercise, eats vegan for at least 1/3 of his meals and often joins my sister at Kundalini yoga!
I’m so excited for this class. I think it’s going to be so much fun and, not to sound too kooky, but I think it will be a great way to get a lot of positive energy flowing to start the weekend off on the right note. We’ve booked it at 889 Yonge which is our current favourite yoga studio. Mr. Knitting and I are there at least 4 times a week, so it’s nice to include a place we love so much into our wedding plans.
What are your plans for the night before your wedding?
Now I feel bad cause I planned to eat like a pig the night before and kick back with a couple drink. hehe 
It sounds perfect… it should just be exactly what you want, so I say go for it!
Will you be doing something after the yoga? I mean, they dont really encourage chatting from what I have observed, and I would think that while great I would want to have some time to talk to everyone and mingle.
that sounds so awesome! 
How amazing! Everything I read about your wedding sounds so “you”, and I don’t even know you! I think that’s the mark of truly customizing the day, which is what I think it is all about. Congrats for another great idea!
I love love love this! Thinking of offering it to my bridesmaids on the day of, and maybe the groomsmen if they’d like. We’re hot yoga junkies.
I would love to do something like this but I don’t see much of my family or my sweetie’s family getting into it. Looks like fun and sounds like the perfect plan for you two and the families.
That’s so cool! What a great way to start the festivities on the right foot and get a relaxed vibe going
What an awesome way to welcome everyone to the wedding weekend and get everyone together!
Sounds so nice. My plans are to drink champagne and have a sing off to “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” with my family. We might be a little wacky.
What a cool idea. I bet your fam & friends will love it!
Love it!
I teach yoga and 4 of my bridesmaids are yoga teachers as well. We’re not having a private class the night before, but the morning of the wedding. If the weather cooperates, we’ll be doing yoga on the lake shore/beach
That sounds so awesome!! However, @missmeerkat, I am totally with you on the pigging out idea

I've been known to spend Sunday mornings at the antique market, Wednesday evenings at sister sushi dinners, and any bit of spare time reading. After six and a half years of many late night walks, watching DVDs together in bed, travelling to places like New York, and Tobermory, doing Sudokus together on the couch, lots of Indian food, the occasional yoga class, moving in together and so much more, Mr. Knitting and I are planning a cozy Christmasy (it's a word!), vintage wedding in Toronto complete with many DIY projects (eek!) and lots of help from our amazing group of family and friends.
