In The Yoga Studio: Top 5 Essential Oil Blends

Creating the right atmosphere in your yoga studio is as important as executing the perfect yoga session – the sounds, sights and smells have the potential to distract from your practice. Or they can enhance it. As we’ve mentioned (in this blog post), essential oils are being used more and more in yoga studios to help relax the body, stimulate the mind and create a deeper, more powerful experience. We’ve done the research and found the 5 best essential oil blends that you should be using in your studio!
