Emotional Wellness 

​

How are You? We will begin with our emotional wellness quiz and move on to explore the top ten essential oils for wellness. Although often ignored, our emotional health is a vital component of our overall well-being.  For centuries it has been proven that yoga provides emotional benefits as well as the physical benefits we often associate it with. Through the study of the Kleshas, or 5 Emotional Energies, we will examine what makes you, you and me, me. And how yoga & essential oils can help us be well.

See Your SELF Clearly

Finding Your Happiness

​

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with your SELF. We will delve into the meaning behind our samskaras (habits), work to identify them, and move past them. Releasing our self-sabotaging patterns and reprogramming our SELF to be happy, now. We will discover our true heartfelt desires and form intentions; focusing the mind, connecting to our true SELF, and channeling the energy within. Discovery is a process and a practice of listening to your SELF. We will explore this process through the practices of journaling, aromatherapy, vision boarding, and asana to create your sankalpa (intention).
