1 Essential Oil
In its purest form lavender essential oil has many applications. Simply inhaling the scent direct from its little glass bottle relieves stress, calms the mind, stabilizes mood and supports restful sleep.
It’s a really useful oil to travel with for these reasons. As an added bonus it’s a great relief for sunburn discomfort. All of the essential oil manufacturers will have lavender available in their ranges.
I’m by no means an aromatherapy expert but oil brands I have used, and like, include Tisserand, DoTerra and Aura Cacia. However, there are many other reputable brands to choose from.
I use these in my own practice all of the time and have taught at yoga studios where eye pillows during savasana have proved very popular with students! They are also useful for general relaxation, headache relief and to help with sleep.

If your choice of yoga class is a fast moving vinyasa with lots of heat and sweat then I can definitely recommend investing in some lavender mat spray. Whether you purchase a ready made spray or make your own this is a great way to freshen and sanitize your mat.

What better than a calming cup of tea after class? Pick up a lavender tea with chamomile too and you have the perfect soothing drink for your evening wind down.

Why not double the fun with a dedicated lavender design mug?
