A note about the class:
The Power of Self Care Virtual Yoga is about “you “listening to your body, clearing your mind, and connecting with your spirit. Some days this might mean relaxing in Shavasana and listening to the healing music of the handpan. On other days you may feel energized and choose to challenge yourself throughout the class. Remember, this is your practice, and we are grateful for your presence.
All poses in our chair or floor yoga classes can be modified to meet individual students’ needs. Before each class, we do a check-in to see if there are any specific needs to be addressed and work hard to ensure all students feel welcome— just as they are!
This Week’s Oil
This Week’s Essential Oil: doTERRA Essential Oils
Essential Oil: Lavender
doTERRA Lavender oil has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume. Its calming and relaxing qualities, when taken internally, continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes. Applied topically, Lavender oil is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. Add to bath water to soak away stress or apply to the temples and the back of the neck. Add a few drops of Lavender oil to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep. Due to Lavender’s versatile properties, it is considered the must-have oil to have on hand at all times.
Uses
Add a few drops of Lavender oil to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet at bedtime.
Keep a bottle of Lavender oil on hand to soothe occasional skin irritations.
Freshen your linen closet, mattress, car, or the air by combining Lavender essential oil with water in a spray bottle.
Take internally to reduce anxious feelings.*
Use in cooking to soften citrus flavors and add a flavorful twist to marinades, baked goods, and desserts.
