If you practice yoga, you know that during classes, positions are performed to relax the muscles. That breathing is used to signal the nervous system to relax. And that meditation, mindfulness and affirmations are also used to calm the mind.
Of course, each class has characteristics that make it even more enjoyable. For example, adding music or soft sounds, having lights to create a more intimate atmosphere or adding essential oils to pamper the sense of smell and thus increase the benefits of this practice. And it is that if the body, the mind and the spirit are closely connected, the senses must also do it . This synergy can give you a fuller experience of the practice and encourage relaxation, focus, and positive energy.
Would you like to practice aromatic yoga at home or share it in one of your classes? So we are going to leave the music and the setting to your liking but we are going to help you choose ideal essential oils so that you fulfill the mission of pampering the sense of smell to enhance your experience.
