Practicing & teaching with the dōTERRA Yoga Collection

I was first introduced to this stunning trio by my co-Thresholder Clare Wilds. Now, I never begin any of my daily spiritual practices, be it yoga, meditation or even just quiet contemplation and rest, without first anointing myself with these three oils. An incredible collaboration between founder of Glo Yoga, Elena Brower, and dōTERRA, this trio of blends is so well thought out and just takes your practice to a whole other level. Read on to learn the unique qualities of each blend and how to use them. Elena has also provided a few introspections for you to work with as you steady with each oil.

  • Lavender:  calming, communication

  • Cedarwood:  grounding, community
