Combining yoga with the benefits of essential oils
Yoga, an ancient practice originating in India, has become a pillar of well-being for millions of people around the world. It combines postures, conscious breathing, meditation, and relaxation to harmonize body and mind. Combined with dōTERRA essential oils, it offers an even richer and more sensory experience.
Why integrate yoga into your routine?
-
Strengthens muscles and improves tone.
Yoga builds muscle strength gently, without excessive strain. A toned body is more resilient in everyday life and preserves your long-term mobility.
-
Promotes flexibility and range of motion.
The stretches practiced in yoga help release muscle tension and improve joint mobility. Improved flexibility makes your movements more fluid and natural.
-
Brings calm, refocusing and mental clarity.
Yoga helps you take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. By focusing on your breathing and sensations, you find a sense of presence and inner peace.
Yoga and aromatherapy: a powerful duo
Aromatherapy enhances the practice of yoga by stimulating the senses and promoting the mind-body connection. Whether you want to ground, focus, or energize, essential oils can support your current intention. Even as a beginner, you can benefit from this natural synergy.
How to use dōTERRA essential oils during your session?
Essential oils can be used in several ways: by diffusing, applying them topically (diluted), or simply by inhaling their aroma. The dōTERRA Yoga Collection , developed with yogi Elena Brower, was designed to support each phase of your session:
- Anchor – to refocus and enter into practice with serenity.
- Align – to cultivate stability and confidence.
- Arise – to end on a note of elevation and openness.
These blends promote a better emotional connection and amplify the benefits felt during your practice. Learn how to use them in our dōTERRA Yoga Kit .
Other essential oils useful for yoga
Beyond the kit, certain essential oils can support your practice:
- dōTERRA Balance ® – to promote grounding and emotional stability.
- Wild Orange and Peppermint – to boost vitality and clarify the mind. Apply a drop to your temples or diffuse in your practice space.
💡 Tip: To avoid overwhelming your senses, limit yourself to three essential oils per session. Choose them according to your intention for the day.
