Essential Oils for Yoga Teachers

Essential Oils for Yoga Teachers – Online CPD Training

Essential oils have a way of settling a room before you've said a word.

Peppermint to energise a strong flow. Frankincense to pull attention inward as a meditation begins. A trace of lavender before savasana to deepen relaxation. Scent reaches people in a way instruction alone can't, and once you know how to use it well, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have as a teacher.

This course teaches you how to bring essential oils into your own classes safely, confidently, and in a way that feels completely yours, whether that's a gentle addition to savasana or building whole themed workshops around scent.

Taught by Heather Deaville, Senior Yoga Teacher, Teacher Trainer and Aromatherapist. This 7 hr on-demand training comes with lifetime access and is accredited for CPD with Yoga Alliance UK, with YACEP hours available for teachers in the US.

Essential Oils For Yoga Teachers - What graduates are up to now

"Since training with Heather, I've gone on to run my own yoga and essential oil retreat days, starting with an aromatherapy practice and finishing with a workshop making bespoke rollerballs and sprays. My favourite oils are orange, bergamot and lavender, and I love what they add to a practice."
Natalie

"I feel so much more confident bringing essential oils into my teaching since the course. I use lavender a lot in my birth workshops and eye pillows, and cotton pads on retreats so students can choose their own oil. It's genuinely changed how I teach."
Amber

"I wanted the genuine confidence to create, mix, blend, and support women's health in a truly holistic way. Learning about oil notes was a total revelation. Since the course I've launched my own monthly women's sanctuary event and rebuilt my whole business around it."
