How does the scent add to the Hotpod experience?
Here at Hotpod, our classes are pumped full of calming aromas and our bespoke scent is a signature element to our yoga classes and the entire Hotpod experience. Why is that, you might wonder?
Scent, emotion and memory are all intertwined, giving us a completely unique experience with each scent we smell. With the world around us moving so quickly and with so many of us having spent a lot of time in our homes over the past few years, being surrounded by a familiar scent can create a sense of comfort to us. We use aromatherapy and scent to create an atmosphere around us, to either relieve stress, boost feelings of relaxation, improve our sleeping patterns or to simply make us feel a little bit calmer, which is why at Hotpod Yoga use aromatherapy before and during all of our classes.
We have developed a vegan and cruelty-free aromatherapy range so that you can take a little bit of Hotpod home with you. All products are hand-blended in the UK and have the same distinctive scent as the pod, combining these three ingredients:.
Sweet Orange is popular for its sweet and zesty smell, whilst also reducing depression and boosting energy levels for exercise performance.
Lavender is known for reducing symptoms of anxiety and is also known to improve your sleep.
Lime helps to alleviate stress and can leave you feeling energised.
Hotpod Yoga's bespoke aromatherapy range includes atmosphere spray, essential oil and body oil.
The atmosphere spray allows you to experience the scent of the pod at home. Gently mist around your body, environment, training space and mat to breathe in the beneficial aromas to enhance your practice and life.
The essential oil is to be used in a diffuser to create a beautiful calming environment, reflecting the environment of the pod in your own home.
The body oil can be massaged into your skin after a shower, or a few drops added to your bath.
To create this range we have collaborated with Soul Tonics, a UK-based business with an ethos that has always been natural, organic, healthy, using glass not plastic, vegan and pure.
| The combination of Sweet orange, lavender and lime in the blend is the perfect mix and adds to the experience of Hotpod Yoga.
Sweet orange is often called ’the smiley oil’ for that very reason. It is uplifting and really helps to raise the emotions and elevate our mood. Lavender is calming and relaxing and we love the idea of raising our vibrations with calmness and peace. Almost a sense of letting go, but in a deep and considered way. Lime oil is another uplifter but it also has beautiful qualities such as rejuvenating the body and giving mental clarity. This essential oil possesses antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, disinfectant, restorative and tonic properties. It makes a wonderful addition to a room mist or blend oil as it literally cleans the air and our minds. |
Our bespoke aromatherapy products are also available to buy at the Hotpod Store, so you can be transported back to the pod in your own home. Available in our studios and online as atmosphere spray and essential, our scent is designed to calm the mind and promote positive wellbeing, while allowing you to feel fully immersed in the complete Hotpod experience.
