Aromatherapy and Yoga - ways to blend the two

In recent years, the benefits of yoga have become more widely known. A regular practice offers so many benefits - both mental and physical. 

Physically, it improves flexibility, builds strength, improves balance and joint health, improves your breathing and can ease and prevent back pain. There are so many benefits for your mental health also - such as reducing stress, fostering mental calmness, boosting self-confidence, and improving sleep.

Yoga and aromatherapy go hand in hand in benefiting the body, mind, and spirit. Used together you can create a powerful practice that will leave you grounded, revitalised and feeling alive.
