Using flower elixirs for yoga or meditation helps us slow down and be more open to receiving the insights + lessons

that arise when our mind is quiet + mindfully aware. Teachers can use flower elixirs, mists + oils during their classes

to induce self-love, joy, and meditative states for a truly unique experience. With our full line of lifestyle products,

there are many ways to incorporate the magic of flowers into your practice:

BRING JOY TO THE MAT.Joy Juice is what I look to when I am feeling the heaviness of the world and the weight of responsibilities. When I am looking to lighten my mood or a situation, Joy Juice offers the solution. Sometimes I come to my practice with a desire to be more joyful, perhaps even more playful. I choose Joy Juice to shift my energy in that direction. It brings a sense of levity to my mat and I feel lighter.

I carry this essence with me as an offering to those who need to call in more happiness and laughter. Isn’t this something we could all use? This essence brings lightness into my body on a cellular level. In the yoga practice, this lightness is felt through your ability to move with more grace and agility. It encourages you to move through any weight or heaviness that your body is holding onto physically. This subtle shift brings more enjoyment to your life both on and off the mat.

GRATITUDE + BLISS.At the end of my radicalrest: yoga nidra class, I use the Joy Juice Aura Mist to help ground my students back into the room. The studio fills with gratitude and blissful groans as the yogis inhale the magical aroma. It leaves them all with a bounce in their steps as they leave for home.

FINDING THE JOY IN EVERYDAY.When I arrive at the studio, I spray Joy Juice Mist all around the space. It’s a ritual that connects me to the joy in my work as a yoga teacher, and it prepares the space for class. Upon arriving, students step into the room and I often hear them say ‘Oh, it smells so good in here.”

More than the sensory experience - I think Joy Juice smells like cotton candy heaven - Joy Juice helps people transition from the outer world they’ve been interacting with to the inner world we explore during yoga practice. Instead of looking for something bigger outside of ourselves to bring us joy, Joy Juice helps me and my students connect with the joy found in the little everyday experiences we have.

FEEL THE LOVE AMPLIFY.Imagine the possibilities if each of us were to possess infinite love for each other and ourselves. We are vastly more pow-erful when we choose love as our guide. I turn to Infinite Love almost daily. I carry it with me wherever I go as a reminder with each application that love is always the answer. When I intake or wear this essence, I feel as if love emanates from the core of my being.

I bring it to the mat and share it with others as a reminder to be loving and compassion to ourselves and others. The shift that this blend offers is full-hearted; a heaping scoop of tenderness and love. When I wear it I notice that people are at-tracted to my loving energy and I feel that love amplify around me in infinite ways.

A MOMENT OF CONNECTION.For years I’ve used Infinite Love both in my home and with my students. Whenever there is a need for a deeper connection to self, or more inner recognition, Infinite Love is my first choice. Inner Peace is also a favourite in my home, particularly at bedtime - and for my desk, Wild Abundance misted on my face always shifts my doubt into fullness and readiness.

My current favourite pose is Pascimottanasana - contemplative, dynamic, it recalibrates my attitude and brings me home.

RADIATE A HEALTHY GLOW. LIVE BRIGHTER.If I am ever feeling drained by the demands of daily living, I turn to Radiant Energy and strongly recommend it to oth-ers. It has a way of putting me back on track and resetting my energetic trajectory. Whether I am stepping on my mat or into my day I apply this generously to envelop myself in protection and strength. It is the perfect reminder to radi-ate and live brighter.

FOCUS & ADD CREATIVITY.As a student of yoga, I work to settle my distracted thoughts and mind with breath, asana and meditation - Inspired Action com-pliments these practices and helps me focus my attention. I offer Inspired Action to practitioners who are feeling stuck and need to develop more motivation and drive. It is the perfect compliment to a seated practice that helps to reel in busy thoughts. I also love using it when I need to step away from a project and move my body through an asana practice or step outside for a breath of fresh air. There is a shift that take places mentally and emotionally that will bring about more innovative thought and creativity.

SLOW DOWN &FEEL CONNECTED.I use Quiet Mind before sleep or meditation. This sweet essence helps me to appreciate the tenderness of my breath and thoughts and dissolves physical tension in my body. Instead of missing the simplicity and beauty of everyday moments, it inspires us to slow down any mental chatter and move into a more relaxed state of being. Quietude is available to us in every moment and this peaceful blend guides us right to the source.

QUIET CONTENT + JOY.In my radialrest: yoga nidra class, I pass around the Quiet Mind Body Oil during the self marma mukkabhyanga massage portion of the practice for everyone to rub on their hands and faces. The noises of quiet content and joy that spreads around the studio as they rub the amazing flower essence infused oil onto themselves is awesome to behold.

THE GIFT OF DEEP REST.I teach insomnia workshops with Quiet Mind - which are always full to capacity and very successful. I mist the room before the event and do savasana massages with the balancing serum. I hear lots of snoring in the room by the end. I also give each participant a full size Quiet Mind elixir to take home with them at the end, which helps them continue to dissolve the effects of mental chatter, physical tension and restless sleep.

Yumee Chung, Yoga Instructor

QUIETING OF THE MIND.As a firm believer in the healing power of plants, these elixirs are fantastic. I use the Quiet Mind Anointing Oil on my wrists or temples before meditation to help calm and still my mind. The combi-nation of essential oils and flower elixirs offers instant quieting of my otherwise very busy mind. It is literally like taking a deep calm inhale and a long complete exhale when you use it - excellent for a Vata mind. I absolutely love it and I keep it in my bag for anytime I feel anxious, stressed or aware that I need to get grounded. Also perfect when I adjust my yoga students in shavasana. They too love the aroma and effect of the quiet mind as part of the yoga session.

GROUNDBODY & MIND.I use Inner Peace when I need to invoke a sense of a calm and inner-knowing. It helps me to trust the teacher within. With the application of the essence, there is almost an instantaneous shift that is felt. I feel as if a cool wave of breath washes over me and any nervousness dissolves. This essence is an assurance of the deep peace that is always available. It brings forth a relaxed confidence that I so often need. This is why I regularly offer this essence to my yoga students and the reason I think bringing this essence into your asana and meditation practice has great benefits.

Have you ever walked into a practice feeling worried or stressed? Inner Peace is the answer to counteract those feeling of overwhelm. It grounds the body and mind and provides of warm blanket of comfort and support. Before you sit or practice, apply this essence to enter into any space or practice with a fresh perspective. It amplifies our abilities to enter the world and our days with more confidence and self-assurance.

INVITE PEACE + CALM IN.Inner Peace is perfect for Shavasanna. As the students relax back into their aerial hammocks after a healthy fitness and stretch class, I wander through the studio spray-ing their hammocks and around the studio to bring a sense of peace and calmness to their hearts before they move back into the world. Such a healing breath.
