Before I started teaching yoga, I taught people about how to care for and connect with the natural environment. While the classes looked a little different, I feel like I am still teaching the same message as a yoga teacher that I was an environmental educator, connection and respect.

The Essential Oil Connection

While I offer lots of opportunities for people to connect with the natural world through their yoga practice — outdoor yoga, goat yoga, sup yoga — not everyone loves doing yoga outside. So how can we connect with nature while we practice inside? Essential Oils!

For me, its the smell of pine trees, I diffuse it in my yoga room when I teach. It transports me to a profound place of peace and joy. It reminds of selling Christmas Tree’s every winter when I was a kid and it makes it easier to let go of all the distractions.

The Nature Connection

Yoga, in it’s truest form, is the practice self-realization. The sooner we realize the we are part of nature the sooner we can reach that state of complete connectedness and bliss.

When I sit outside, resting on the earth, the sun shining on my face, the smell of plants in the air, and I really notice the present moment, I find it pretty hard to feel sad, or disconnected. So, when I’m stuck inside and I’m feeling a little blue… a drop of orange and a drop of peppermint in my hands… a few deep breaths… it’s like magic… turns those frowns upside down!
