As I've gotten older, the importance of taking care of myself has become a main priority. It's okay to not feel okay, but it's so great to know about things that can help you feel better. Whenever in a major funk, I find it hard to bring myself to do...<3

The Body
Relax your physical being.
This works like magic for me. If I lay on it for 20 minutes before going to bed and meditate, I do not carry around shoulder or neck pain the next day. There is a noticeable difference in my body on nights I use this mat. I also really love everythin...
The Shakti Acupressure Mat
This isn't just a regular pillow – it's a magic pillow. It's firm and soft at the same time and I love how supported I feel in relaxing poses.
Yoga Bolster
I love all Manduka Yoga Mats, but mostly prefer this one because it's not as heavy and just as high quality and durable as their heavier mats.
Manduka Yoga Mat
I like to use a weighted blanket when I am on my Shakti Mat to add more pressure while I am on the spikes. Weighted blankets are also good for regulating the nervous system. It's like a hug :)
Weighted Blanket
Great for meditating and for sleeping! But, I mostly use for meditating!

Ways to clear the mind.
You'd be surprised by all of the research that has been conducted recently to draw positive conclusions about the effect essential oils have on our Olfactory System and Nervous System. Not an absolute must, but an immediate calm will come to me whene...
Aromatherapy - Essential Oil Diffuser
I bought this on a whim. I purchased the entire essential oils line by Dr. Teals which includes an Epsom Salt & Bubble Bath. Personally, I have trouble taking baths as often as I would like to because it becomes a time consuming ritual (having to...
Dr. Teal's Sleep Spray with Melatonin & Essential Oil Blend
I've tried a few guided meditation apps over the years. I randomly found this one and they offered me a free annual subscription when I unsubscribed due to financial strain, because they believe that things that help a person's mental health should n...
Balance: Meditation & Sleep App (iPhone)
I have never seen such an amazing platform that is completely free to access. They have some features behind a paywall, but so many more features that aren't that it isn't noticeable. A place for our content creators who teach meditation, relaxation,...
Insight Timer – Meditate & Sleep App (iPhone)
I found this app when I was stuck in a pessimistic spiral. It’s a daily practice and it works.

What helps nourish my spirit.
I found Cole Yoga by chance on youtube (hehe). I love her Yin Yoga, but also super enjoy her slow flows. For the purposes of this list, I highly recommend her yin yoga practice. I think she has a lot of insight and wisdom to share and I think her per...
Cole Chance Yoga on YouTube
Another favorite yogi on Youtube for Yin & Restorative Flows. I found that she has some of the longest, full Yin practices available to all on Youtube. A lot of others have their own websites behind a paywall for the longer videos (no hate, makin...
Yoga with Kassandra on YouTube
I come here to stave off the Sunday scaries, but I also am in love with this studio for their various Workshops, instructors, studio pups, and overall vibes. On Sundays, they host a 75 min Vinyasa (heated) and a 60 min Yin (unheated) back to back, ho...
Yes, Yoga. Studio (New Orleans, LA)
I found this absolute GEM of a studio in my last six months of living in Atlanta. At the time, my focus was on HIIT workouts, but after my first ultimately “warm”, but Heated Vinyasa class in Seattle, I wanted to find a hot yoga studio where I lived....
