World Yoga Day 2022: Our Top Lifestyle And Decor Picks
For many of us – if not as a way to slow down and unwind then as an excuse to incorporate athleisure into our sartorial choices – Yoga has found its way into our lives. Amidst tree poses and downward dogs, the 5000 year-old wellness practice has solidified its place in our daily routines and with its origin in ancient Ayurveda, it’s most certainly here to stay. Whether you’re someone that’s looking to strengthen their core or simply someone that’s looking for an excuse to indulge in self care, in celebration of World Yoga Day, here’s everything worth adding to your cart and your Asana routine –
1. Soothing Scented Candles – Veedaa
A scented candle is one of the easiest ways to foray into the world of self care. For someone that practices Yoga daily, the right blend of scents can be transformative in creating atmospheres of relaxation, concentration, and motivation. This fresh, floral scent in particular helps you unwind and strengthen focus all at once.
2. Air Purifying Plants – Plant People
If you’re the type of Yoga practitioner who has a dedicated space or studio, consider lining it with greens that will help cleanse the air.
