When I practiced yoga today I put some Fragonia essential oil on my chest, because the bottle was standing by my yoga setup. This was a limited edition essential oil earlier this year. It has similar properties to Eucalyptus. I focus a lot on my breath in my yoga practice and while I moved through my asanas I got wafts of this beautiful fragrance. Sometimes I have to remind myself how to use the oils. And to have the oils ready in the spaces where I use them helps, e.g. respiratory oil by my yoga mat, meditation oil near the couch in my office where I usually sit, sleep balm by my bed etc.
To apply a respiratory oil or blend before a movement practice can be really beneficial. It can improve the lung function and performance.
Here are some oils that I use for respiratory support:

If you are keen to get any of these oils to support your movement practice please let me know. I can either order them in for you or help you to set up your own account.
