Chakras are so hot right now - Join Noemi for a special sacral chakra activating yoga class infused with BYO plant-medicine.

Register in advance for this meeting here: https://me.onpodio.com/YogaWithSparks/workout

I’d love to be able to share plant-medicine in-person but that’s not in the cards right now. So what I welcome for these chakra yoga classes is for you to bring any plant-medicine you like to class, like tea, essential oils, topicals, smoke/vapeables or even plant-matter itself. Before, during, and after the session, we’ll enjoy whatever we brought together by ingesting, smelling, smoking it and sitting with the aroma and effects for a few moments… letting the mind-body become familiar with the scent/taste and creating a container for the session focusing on whatever chakra we’re on.

For the Solar Plexus chakra, the center of confidence, determination, will-power, plants that help activate are …

Peppermint, coriander, cedarwood, clove, ginger, grapefruit, lemongrass and rosemary. Plants with the terpene Mentha, which smells like mint, or limonene, which smells citrusy.

Mentha is good for treatment of respiratory and digestive system disorders, hypertension, anxiety and even for relieving menstrual pain.

Limonene is cleansing, antioxidative, protective to cells and promotes normal cell growth, stimulates and enhances effects on mood and cognitive health. It also helps to repel insects.

I will be using a Peppermint essential oil for this practice. You can buy Peppermint oil through me either by signing up for the Yoga with Sparks - Solar Plexus Essential Package https://me.onpodio.com/YogaWithSparks/package

or by ordering from doTERRA using my link: doTERRA Peppermint Roll-on

If there is another scent that helps you tap into your sensuality and creativity, you are absolutely welcome to use that instead. I’m also happy to give you other recommendations if you’d. You can reach me via noemi@yogawithsparks.com, on Instagram and Facebook.

This is a donation-based virtual event. The suggested donation is $10. Please feel free to donate what you can. Your support is lovingly welcome and appreciated.

Class is always different and props are always optional, but I like to spice in props anytime we’re sitting and for restorative poses. Props that are good to have handy are:

• two blocks or pillows or thick books (think Harry Potter #4 and up)

• strap or belt, bathrobe, or something similar

• two blankets for savasana ( one to prop up your shoulders and head, one to cover yourself)
