I am a very sensory person. When I do yoga I need to immerse myself in an environment of calmness. That means a space free from noise (except for yoga music) and distractions, dimmer lights (I turn my salt rock lamp on) and a soy candle with a natural essential oil fragrance. Candles help create a soft light and depending on the scent can help your relax even more deeply during your practice.
My husband is a big fan of the lemongrass/peppermint/eucalyptus candles. He had one with all three of these essential oil fragrances a few years ago and has been unable to find one with the same combination since. I’ve looked and have found peppermint and eucalyptus or lemongrass and eucalyptus but not all three. If you’ve found a candle with these three scents comment back and let me know. I recently ordered a lemongrass and eucalyptus candle on Target.com. I really like it and am using it in my yoga space. Any candle with essential oils of eucalyptus, lemongrass and/or peppermint is going to be an invigorating scent. I also like bergamot and tobacco flower candles. I have one from the Paddywax Eco Collection. When I first discovered bergamot and tobacco candles I thought “ewww! A tobacco candle?! Yuck!”. Until I smelled it, it’s a nice mellow scent. Obviously the bergamot works well with the tobacco flower, if the bergamot was not there you could skip the candle and walk into any bar.
Namaste,
Michele
