This AromaYoga® guide is for yoga students, yoga teachers, and anyone who wishes to enhance their wellness practices with the use of essential oil therapy. It recommends essential oils for both beginner and more advanced yoga asanas, as well as for meditations and affirmations for each chakra. It also provides simple energy exercises derived from Polarity Therapy.
Like yoga, essential oils and plant extracts have been utilized for thousands of years for the purpose of healing, cleansing and balancing the body, mind, and emotions. By combining the use of essential oils with your yoga practice, you may find yourself more physically, mentally and emotionally available for your practice, both on and off the mat.
