items Just a few of my favorite things to help me unwind after a long day teaching. Maybe you will find them helpful too!
I’m obsessed with this. I notice a difference in my sleep (maybe it’s psychological idk) when I don’t spray it. It smells citrusy and refreshing. I have recommended this and the oil to so many friends!
Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist - OSEA® Malibu
You don’t need a lot-just a little dab behind the ears/on your neck will do it. I use before bed. This and the pillow spray are a great duo! I’ve bought them for and recommended them to so many friends.
Vagus Nerve Oil | Vegan Body Massage Oil | Vagal Tone
Yep, I was influenced. And now I have three of these hoodies 🤷♀️ I love the weight of them. They are big, but I still get them in large so that I am swimming in my hoodie.
Comfrt | Pastel Hoodie
Any weighted eye pillow will do—I’ve gotten some lovely ones from local small businesses and they’re not hard to make on your own. I like them scented with lavender. Good way to relax in savasana at the end of yoga, too!
Light Blue Mystic Lavender and Flaxseed Eye Pillow
If you have the budget for the coziest blanket EVER, then this is what you want to get. I would recommend medium or large. Prepare for the best nap of your life.
Weighted Blanket—Lola
This one isn’t weighted but it’s sooo soft and comfy! It’s giving fall/winter morning with a cup of tea and a good book vibes.
Dreamer Blanket | Super Soft, Cozy Oversized Blanket | Comfrt
This book has many different meditations you can use to help you relax, even in the middle of chaos. It’s part of a “How To” series by Thich Nhat Hanh.
How to Relax
A full back and shoulder heating pad is a must, especially after all day on your feet. I have this one and think it does the same job as some of the higher priced ones.
