Is it time to boost the potency of your life and yoga practice?
Bringing crystals, gems and precious stones into your practice can help bring a new world of intentions, energies and powers into your life.
From creating positive change to manifesting intentions, to giving you protection, heightened intuition and a deeper sense of compassion and unconditional love – these little beauties can help you to go deeper and get more clear.
How To Use Crystals & Gems
You can place your crystals, gems & precious stones around your mat as you practice, or onto an altar that you create in your practice space. You can also choose to meditate directly on one of your fave gems. If there is a specific stone that you’re attracted to or needing right now, carry it around somehow (pocket, locket, etc.), wear it as a pendant or even as a mala.
