In today’s world, speed and maximum return is the common goal.  Unfortunately, many people forget that this drains our body on a physical level and spiritual level.  This is one reason yoga and meditation practice has grown so much in the western culture.  Forcing your mind and body to take a moment for reflection is proven to be beneficial for people’s health and well-being.  Taking your meditation one step further, you can target your emotions and energy using aromatherapy.  This will help improve your whole practice.  To get the most of the beneficial effects of yoga aromatherapy, you need to make sure that you are only using the highest quality essential oils, like Tsi-La offers.  It is not always clear whether a fragrance company offers 100% pure, organic oils being used.
