Details
Join me for a five-week online series and explore the subtle yet powerful effects of my favourite essential oils on body, mind and heart. Each week, we'll dive into one of my five go-to essential oils and explore their unique effects and benefits weaving in the following elements:
- asana
- pranayama
- mudra
- Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
- chakra
- energetic, therapeutic properties
- elements
- affirmations
Each oil forms the inspiration and intention for each practice, and allows us to tune into the energetic, physical and emotional effect of the oil in relation to breath and movement.Â
The five oils I have chosen are diverse in their properties and qualities and are oils that I use all the time (you'll probably find some of them in your bathroom cabinet!). If you decide to invest in one or a couple, I promise you will get joy, clarity, calmness and balance out of every drop! A little goes a very long way. I always buy my oils from Neals Yard and/or Oshadi.
Please note that you don’t need access to the oils to take part and enjoy the practice — they are simply a backdrop to explore the energetic properties of each oil through the medium of yoga. Each practice will be fully rounded regardless of whether you choose to use the essential oil to complement the class or not.
