The way I practice yoga completely changed after my instructor began incorporating essential oils into Savasana.
While I was laying in Corpse pose with my eyes closed, my instructor placed lavender oil over my nose, which immediately tempered my overactive mind and allowed me to concentrate on my breathing — an aspect of yoga that has always been difficult for me.
Now, I can't imagine my weekly practices without aromatherapy. If I were to dump my yoga bag out for you, you'd find the following products, from the calming essential oils I bring with me to the studio to the soothing incense I use during my at-home sessions.
