AROMA YOGA

Friday, May 17 | 6:00pm - 8:30pm

Uplevel your practice and your life by adding the medicinal benefits and sheer pleasure of therapeutic grade essential oils to your yoga. This class is designed to melt open the heart and drop you into deep meditation.

Based on Ashley's first book, AROMA YOGA, this workshop weaves the science of aromatherapy into a dynamic vinyasa class based on the Tantric principle of using sensory awareness to awaken heightened states of consciousness.

Begin with a brief introduction on biochemistry and the anatomy of the subtle body. Then, circle through a creative flow, while applying oils corresponding to each chakra. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, calm and with a sweet smile!

Learn:

• the neuroscience of aromatherapy
• how to use oils to relieve anxiety, depression, overcome fear + reduce pain
• why scent is one of the most powerful tools to heal the subtle/pranic body and release mental/emotional traumas
• which oils compliment specific organs, seasons + emotions
