Rituals to support yoga practice
Yoga is an excellent way to improve your fitness, strengthen your body, and tone your muscles. Besides its beneficial effects on your physical health, the practice also supports your mental health. It helps you unwind after a long day at work or at home, and eliminate negative thoughts. Looking for a way to derive even more pleasure from relaxing yoga? Choose rituals that will support your practice!
Palo Santo
This is one of the most well-known rituals, bringing peace, harmony, and a sense of happiness. A Palo Santo stick, lit on one end, releases a bright, aromatic smoke when the flame is blown out. It's said that only one whiff of this distinctive scent is enough to leave a lasting impression. Burning essential oils clears the mind and alleviates tension. It's a great way to completely relax and recharge with positive energy. Palo Santo is recommended for meditation. Sit on a mat or use a yoga bolster to maintain physical stillness, and take advantage of the amazing properties of the wood during your home practice. For the best results, it's best to order Palo Santo from a trusted source. At Joyinme, sacred wood products come from Peru, from a group of people who also contribute to the reforestation of the Las Lomas district in the Puria region.
White sage
The scent of this aromatic plant is the best way to reduce anxiety and tension. The smoldering smoke brings solace and invigorates. White sage is native to the southwestern United States and is considered a sacred herb in Navajo tradition. The plant is used in ceremonies to cleanse human energy and transform the body and mind. Now you can incorporate it into your home practice. Simply light the sage on one side and blow out the flame. Place a lightly smoldering sprig on a plate. Joyinme also offers white sage with added benefits: sweet grass provides a woody, soothing scent, red rose petals evoke feelings of love and awaken sensuality, lavender has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and improves sleep quality, and cedar alleviates stress and facilitates falling asleep. Dragon's Blood sage is also available. This white sage is steeped in resin, giving it properties related to fire, meaning strength and protection.
Aromatic candles
Natural candles with aromatherapy properties will also support your yoga practice. Their 100% vegan formula is based on soy wax and essential oils. You won't find any palm oil, paraffin, or parabens in them. Simply light the cotton wick and the candle's incredible scent will begin to affect your physical and emotional well-being. Joyinme offers aromas inspired by asanas. BAKA, referring to the Crane Pose (Bakasana), is a blend of lavender, clementine, Ho rosewood, and Ylang Ylang oil, which brings relaxation, deepens concentration, and allows you to see problems from a different perspective. VRIKSA (Tree Pose - Vrikshasana) combines the aromas of balsamic sandalwood, earthy cedarwood, resinous frankincense, and Ylang Ylang oil. A lit candle will calm your emotions, help you achieve harmony, and find your own rhythm. SIRSA is inspired by the headstand pose—Salamba Shirshasana. The scents of jasmine, Ho rosewood, and Ylang Ylang oil promote relaxation and help evoke feelings of joy and excitement. You'll also find the SURYA candle. Inspired by the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequence, this composition fills the space with invigorating bergamot, refreshing clementine, stimulating Ylang Ylang oil, and spicy frankincense. The incredible scent strengthens the body and ignites the imagination.
Palo Santo, white sage, or a beautifully scented, natural candle are perfect gifts for a loved one for holidays, birthdays, or name days. Ritual accessories will allow you to fully utilize the beneficial properties of yoga and meditation, promoting even greater relaxation and eliminating negative thoughts. Allow yourself a moment of relaxation!
