Essential Practice: Yoga with Essential Oils

Hatha with Elena Brower

Including essential oils in your yoga practice can add layers of richness. Over the course of six classes, this program will show you how you can use plant essences to anchor your practice to a specific emotional state. In each class, you’ll set an intention with a suggested oil, enjoy an asana sequence focused on that intent, then meditate with a second scent to seal the effects of your practice. You’ll also gather useful information about incorporating essential oils into your life off the mat. Essential oils used: tea tree, orange, peppermint, lemon, rosemary, frankincense, and fir.

Level 2-3

Pose Goals: Let Your Lotus Bloom

Hatha with Elena Brower

Since sitting for meditation was one of the original goals of yoga, you might say that all poses lead to lotus. With a form resembling the flower, padmasana grounds and stabilizes the body, allowing the mind to blossom. This program offers three challenging and dynamic sequences that lead into lotus in unique ways. While the full expression of this advanced posture may not be attainable for everyone, the journey toward it is well worth the while. Like the flower it resembles, which grows in muddy waters, padmasana requires patience and perseverance before it can bloom.

Meditation for Energy

Breathwork with Elena Brower

Balance and refine your energy, so it resonates in harmony with your intentions and aspirations. This program is for anyone who would love to establish a consistent meditation practice that encourages physical vibrancy, mental clarity, and emotional stability. You’ll learn to identify and direct the currents of energy in your body, so you can calibrate them for confidence in anything you do.
