How to Use Essential Oils for Yoga Practice

When used properly, essential oils can be powerful and healing to the mind and body.

There are some words of caution to keep in mind. Be respectful when using oils in a yoga class setting. Loading up on peppermint oil may be stimulating to you, but it could be distracting to others around you.

You also may not want to try a new oil right before starting a yoga routine, it could turn out to be an unfavorable aroma for you. One time I used a premade blend on my wrists with an aroma that I initially loved. About 15 minutes after having it on, it was just too overpowering but I was stuck with it through the workout.

Experiment with oils to see what YOU enjoy most. Here are some ways to incorporate oils:

Diffuse Oils

One easy way to enjoy aromatherapy during yoga is with an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser. I recommend diffusing citrus oils like grapefruit, tangerine, lime, lemon, or orange. These oils are uplifting yet are not too overpowering. Citrus oils also help reduce airborne microbes, especially helpful in a class setting.

Apply Oils to Skin

Use essential oils topically on wrists, neck, or upper chest. This way you will be able to inhale them as you are going through your routine. Be sure to use properly diluted essential oils using a carrier oil. Recommended level is a 2% dilution for a healthy adult. That equals about 12 drops of essential oils per one ounce of carrier oil.

If using a roller bottle (10 ml), for a 2% dilution you only need 4 drops of essential oil, then fill the rest of the bottle with a carrier oil like jojoba oil. Roller bottles are convenient. Make one ahead of time so you are ready for a mess free application prior to your yoga routine.

Wear an Essential Oil Necklace

One reason I love using a diffuser necklace with my essential oils is because I can keep the aroma in my personal space. While many people love using essential oils, not everyone does.

Using diffuser jewelry lets you enjoy aromatherapy effects without inconveniencing others around you. Especially great when at a yoga class, you can inhale the aroma from your necklace without offending anyone.

Yoga Routine Diffuser Blends

Add essential oils to diffuser with recommended water for your diffuser tank. Read more about diffusing essential oils. I like to use a 100-200 ml water tank diffuser but you can use whatever size you prefer.

 Mental Awake Diffuser Blend

We all know that feeling, we're stuck in a funk, can't get motivated to do anything, and feel like we're just dragging through the day. Maybe you've tried drinking more coffee or taking a nap, but sometimes those tricks just don't cut it. That's where essential oils come in! This is one of my favorite blends for when I need an energy boost. It contains grapefruit, cypress, and peppermint essential oils, which are known for their energizing and uplifting properties. Give it a try next time you need a little pick-me-up before or after your yoga routine!

  • 3 drops Cypress
  • 3 drops Grapefruit
  • 2 drops Peppermint

Final Thoughts On Yoga Routine Essential Oils

Not every oil works for everyone. Different oils offer you different therapeutic benefits. Determine your goals: Do you want to relax, calm tension, and de-stress? Or are you looking to energize and wake up your mind? Perhaps you are looking to increase your spiritual awareness.

No matter what you are looking for, you are sure to find essential oils for yoga that will enhance your routine, you just have to find what works for you best.
