Inspired by “The EssentialYoga Program” by Jane Bloom, Marty Harger, Deidre Schaub, and Stephanie Smith
Hello, lovely souls! Welcome back to another chapter of mindful and enriching living. Today, let’s explore a holistic blend of two beautiful practices—yoga and essential oils. This year-long plan is inspired by the brilliant work in “The EssentialYoga Program,” a book that has expertly married these two enriching practices to offer a comprehensive guide to nurturing your body, mind, and spirit.
Imagine a yoga routine that not only stretches your body but also soothes your senses and balances your emotions. Sounds like a full-bodied experience, right? Well, grab your yoga mats and your favorite dōTERRA Essential Oils because we’re embarking on a year-long journey together!
The Power of Two: Yoga and Essential Oils
Before we dive into this incredible 12-month experience, let’s chat a little about why this duo works so well. Essential oils have been a staple in therapeutic and spiritual practices for centuries. Like yoga, they cater to our body, mind, and spirit. When woven into your yoga practice, essential oils can bring new dimensions of focus, relaxation, and intention.
