Fragrances for Yoga and Meditation

Yoga and meditation offer powerful ways to manage stress, reconnect with the present, and improve physical and mental well-being. Incorporating scents from our Relax and Unwind collection can further enhance your practice by creating a sensory environment that encourages relaxation and mindfulness. Below is a structured guide on how to use Aery fragrances to elevate your yoga and meditation sessions. 

Why Use Aromatherapy During Yoga and Meditation? 

Aromatherapy complements yoga by promoting mental clarity and relaxation through scent. Research shows that essential oils can help regulate emotions and support mindfulness, helping individuals stay focused during yoga or enter a deep meditative state. 

Products like candles, diffusers, and room sprays are ideal companions for yoga. Their natural scents work with breathwork techniques, amplifying the calming effects of yoga and grounding exercises. 

Preparing Your Yoga Space with Aery Scents 

1. Create a Calm Environment with Candles

Using a scented candle at the beginning of your yoga practice sets a calming tone. The Heavily meditated candle with notes of frankincense, patchouli and thyme - can ease tension and prepare the mind for slow, mindful yoga routines like Yin or Restorative yoga.  

Tips: 

• Light the candle 15 minutes before starting to allow the fragrance to diffuse. 

• Position candles at a safe distance, ensuring they remain stable during your session. 
  

2. Use Room Sprays for Instant Refreshment

Spritzing a room spray can refreshen your space and supports deep breathing exercises. This product works particularly well for shorter yoga sessions or quick meditation breaks during a busy day. 

Suggested Use: 

• Spray lightly around your mat during transitions between poses, helping to maintain mindfulness throughout Vinyasa flow or Kundalini yoga. 

Scent Pairing with Different Yoga Practices 

1. For Restorative and Yin Yoga: Lavender and Chamomile

Slow-paced practices like Yin Yoga require deep relaxation. Deeper musky or woody scents like Indian Sandalwood, Himalayan Cedarleaf, Nordic Cedar or Persian Thyme  will soothe the nervous system and promote mindfulness during prolonged postures. 

How to Use: 

• Burn a woody scented candle throughout the session, or use a diffuser with matching essential oils. 

2. For Energising Yoga Sessions: Citrus and Eucalyptus

When practicing dynamic forms like Vinyasa or Ashtanga yoga, uplifting fragrances help maintain energy levels. Aery’s Botanical blends invigorate the senses, keeping you refreshed as you move through poses. 

How to Use: 

• Use a diffuser or spray citrus-based scents just before starting to boost your mood and focus. 

Enhancing Meditation with Aery Diffusers 

For those incorporating meditation into your routines, the steady diffusion of essential oils creates a serene backdrop. Aery Living diffusers and fragrance oils provide a continuous fragrance that aids in deep breathing practices, helping to center your mind. 

Tip for Use: 

• Place a diffuser in a meditation corner, choosing subtle fragrances like sandalwood to encourage tranquility without overwhelming the senses. 

Incorporating scents into your yoga and meditation practices adds an aromatic dimension to your wellness routine. The synergy between scent, movement, and breathwork deepens the connection to the present moment, fostering greater relaxation and mental clarity. Whether using candles, sprays, or diffusers, Aery’s products offer the perfect touch to enhance your sessions and make every practice feel luxurious and restorative.
