I went to my very first Yoga class last night
it was
Relaxation Yoga
90 minutes
pure heaven
I actually dozed off at one point
I know that's hard for you all to believe
I snorted or something and woke myself up
no kidding
I'm going back tonight for round two
this time it's not relaxation
it's the real deal
I have wanted to try Yoga at a "real" yoga studio for about a year
I think I have found a new love
it's so different than setting my computer up on a chair
watching you-tube
trying to keep my dogs off of my yoga mat
the wrong scent of candle
on and on
it just didnt' cut it
but this little studio - oh yes, we will be BFF's
I just have a feeling
(this is not me but I'm hoping to do that one day ;)
I started using doTERRA oils
a few months back
Lemon
Peppermint
Lavender
Have you ever tried them?
I honestly LOVE them
I'm actually thinking about selling them
(these are the oils I'm using and thinking of selling - I truly love them)
Here are a few ways to use them:
Lemon:
Put a few drops with your detergent in your dishwasher to avoid spots on your dishes
Put a few drops on a warm rag and disinfect your butcher block and cutting boards
Put a few drops in a cup of water and boil in microwave for 5 minutes for a clean smelling kitchen
Put a drop in your night time face cleaner to brighten your skin
Lavender:
Rub the lavender oil in the palm of your hands and feet for calming effect
Rub lavender oil on chapped
and sunburned lips
Put a few drops in your laundry detergent when washing linens and bedding
Put a drop in your hands and rub on your sleeping pillow - very soothing
Peppermint:
Inhale the bottle of peppermint to help with concentration
Rub a drop of peppermint oil on your temples and back of neck for headache relief
Put a drop in your morning bottle of water for energy
Peppermint also boost your mood and fights fatigue
Those are just a few areas I have tried them.
I am truly loving them.

I use to go to a wonderful yoga studio in Austin, Texas call Yoga, Yoga that I loved. It was so refreshing and ingorating and relaxing all at the same time. I learned to do postures to their maxium benefit because I had a yogi or an instructor adjusting my body in each pose. It's been long time since I have done yoga and would love to find a studio here. I agree, it's not the same in your own home. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun....I think i would really like relaxation yoga! I would love to try yoga, but here in our little town, there is nothing! Although, my niece just became a certified yoga instructor, maybe she could give me some pointers when she is home. :)
ReplyDeleteThe oils sound interesting, I love all natural oils and scents.
Take care, girlie! Hope you are well. I have been meaning to send you a e-mail or text lately, but we have been super busy at work lately and when I get home, I hate to bug you with a text!
Talk soon! :)

Hi. Good luck in your yoga class. I find I have a difficult time quieting my mind. I usually fall asleep during massages though, believe it or not, so I understand the relaxation factor. Pilates is on my 'to do' list. Keep us informed how it goes.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of scented oils. I read that smelling grapefruit oil is a good appetite suppressant. If you sell grapefruit scent, let me know! :)
