With the arrival of my essential oils, I'm looking forward to experimenting with some blends, ready for my new, Soothing Stretch and Meditation yoga class, starting on Monday 15th September. I'm thinking Frankincense and Geranium as a blend, and then maybe Clary Sage and Ylang Ylang?? I'm planning on adding the blends to some apricot kernel carrier oil and filling some pipette bottles. The idea is that students will be able to help themselves to a squeeze of the oil blend to massage on their forearms or neck, at the beginning of class, so as to enjoy the relaxing and soothing smell, enahcing the experience of the yoga practice.
Frankincense is deeply relaxing and geranium has a lovely floral scent and is said to reduce anxiety.
Clary sage, similarly to Frankincese, can help to promote a sense of relaxation. Ylang Ylang is said to uplift your mood and enhance feelings of well-being. Both sound like a perfect blend for this chilled out class of sloowww moves, breathing practices and guided meditation!
I have also made six out of the ten lavender eye pillow cases that I need, for students to use during the guided meditation. Some of the fabric is from my stash of years in the hoarding! I have also got some of the fabric from a place called, 'Textile Collective,' which is a community run venture in Colchester, selling donated material at an excellent price. It's a great shop and Kirsta, who runs it, is so helpful and knowledgeable. She has given me the confidence to be brave with my sewing machine, leading to me sewing these pillow cases myself! The shop is in Priory walk, opposite Sainsbury's. Well worth a visit! check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555567783026 Which fabric do you like best???!
