I am so excited about doTERRA's new Yoga Collection. I used Arise during my yoga practice a few days ago and couldn't believe how much more energized I was. I seemed to be able to hold my poses much better, and the time just flew by. I just wanted to keep going.

All 3 of these oils are perfect for any Yogie. But, you don’t have to be an expert in yoga to enjoy the beautiful benefits of the new doTERRA Yoga Collection. Created with the help of Elena Brower, (doTERRA Blue Diamond, author of Art of Attention, and creator of Teach.yoga), the collection consists of three 5 mL blends called Arise, Anchor, and Align. With these blends, the beginner as well as the seasoned yogi will enjoy using each distinct blend in their practice. Each blend is carefully designed with a unique combination of essential oils to provide different scents and benefits.

​I LOVE the smell of Grapefruit Essential Oil. Besides all the benefits, I just enjoy diffusing it because I love the smell. Be careful when using it in the sun, though. 

I put this in water (alternately with Lemon oil) to help me get my daily water intake. You could even add a drop of Stevia to sweeten it up.
