Yoga Mat Spray

Yoga Mat Spray

I shared this recipe with my yoga students.  One of the ladies goes to a couple of other yoga classes, and she came back to say that she gets compliments all the time on the smell of her yoga mat.

That is so sweet of her to share, plus it fights germs. Always a bonus!

Here’s the recipe.  I only use doTerra essential oils.

EOA - EO RECIPES FOR PETS - 13 LITTER BOX POWDER
LITTER BOX RECIPE
Question: I would love to use something natural to help in the litter box, any ideas?
From Dr. Janet Roark, the EO Vet:
LITTER BOX POWDER RECIPE
1 c. Baking Soda
1 tbsp. Epsom Salt
3-4 drops Essential Oils of your choice (Lavender, Cedarwood, Grounding Blend, Lemongrass are all good choices.)
DIRECTIONS: Mix together and let sit for a minimum of four hours. Sprinkle on litter as needed.

OIL SAFETY FOR PETS

  • Dilute for topical use.
    • Know your pet’s health status.
    • Do NOT use oils on or near eyes, ears, nose, or genitals of your pet.
  • Use a water diffuser for aromatic use and allow your pet to roam freely with an open door to the room.
  • Caution should be used around animals that are pregnant, nursing, young, or on certain medications.
    • Do not use oils topically on your pet if using a topical medication or dermal patch – this includes topical flea/ tick preventatives.
    • Do not give any of the products containing xylitol (toothpaste, beadlets, etc.).
    • Only use Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.
  • Observe your pet’s behavior.

 

In the event of an adverse reaction, dilute with a carrier oil – skin irritation is the most common and most reactions resolve within 24–48 hours after oil exposure. Discontinue use of an oil if your pet shows signs of distress, drooling, squinting, rubbing their face, vocalization, shaking, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Modified Sun Salutes for Yoga in Nederland, Texas

Modified Sun Salutes for Yoga in Nederland, Texas – with Yoga Teacher, Gail Pickens-Barger

Lately I’ve been posting a lot in my private facebook group Yoga for Pacemakers & ICDS about modified versions of the Salute to the Sun.  Thought I’d share with you the sequences!

Part of the challenge is to slowly come down to the floor from modified plank to cobra or sphinx.  Engaging the chest muscles with an implanted device is somewhat challenging!  As always keep it between easy and the ouch!  My older daughter demonstrating the sequences!

Come to my Beginning Yoga classes at Wesley UMC in Nederland, Texas.  Mondays at 6:15 pm and Thursdays at 10 am.  Also search on facebook “Yoga for Pacemakers” to join the group.

Happy Birthday my little yogini!

My littlest kiddo turns 11 today.  Now that she is a tween, it isn’t “cool” to yoga with her mum as much.  That’s okay, we still do “car yoga” on the way to school each day!  Love it!

It’s all good!
