Make your own Lavender Spray

3/10/2017

Recently I have been spraying lavender mist in our yoga classes. The kids love the “lavender rain”, and right away it helps them to relax as we first start our class. I have been using the spray in my adult yoga classes as well, and the grown-ups love it just as much.
We are lucky to have a local farm nearby that grows organic lavender. They make a fantastic Lavender Stress Relief Mist. However, I teach a lot of classes and go through this stuff like water, so I started making my own. Thankfully, Keys Creek Lavender Farm also sells pure essential lavender oil, which I have been using for my personal mix. The kids and I have been talking about making our own spray.
So Mom and Dad, here is the recipe: in a spray bottle mix 1 cup of water with 10 or more drops of lavender oil. I use distilled water since it is more pure. You can use more or less essential oil depending how intense you’d like the scent to be. You may also experiment with mixing in a few drops of other essential oils. Recently, with all the colds going around I have been adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
Now mix away and enjoy a whiff of relaxation around your house — especially at bedtime!

A cleaner way to roll up your yoga mat

2/18/2016

Your yoga mat might pick up a lot of dirt depending on the floor you put it on. When you roll it up at the end of class, you roll any dirt sticking to the bottom side right onto the top side. Besides cleaning & disinfecting your mat regularly, you might want to consider folding your mat in half before you roll it up. In other words, fold the top side onto itself, and when you roll up the folded mat, the bottom side will never touch the top side.
