These days, people are constantly exposed to stress, although it comes in many forms and degrees. Even babies can experience stress, such as when they cry and attention to their needs gets delayed. Their experience, however, is significantly more limited.

To take your first step towards mental wellness, it's important that you are able to identify symptoms of unnecessary stress. Some types of distractions or concerns are easily dealt with while others require extra steps to resolve, sometimes necessitating professional help.

The best way to handle mental wellness is to recognize that it is a real need. Most people would ignore signs and symptoms of mental distress because they are used to believing that it's "all in your head". Very often, they do not recognize the problems until it has already affected them in a negative way.

There have been relaxation aromatherapy products created specifically for use during yoga, and specifically in a classroom setting. The best thing is, they are made for individual use (so no incense and candles) in the form of roll-on bottles. You can roll them onto your mat or directly on the skin. I've found them the most effective when I roll them onto my collarbones or wrists before class so the scent is closer to my face or I can take a deep inhale when my hands are in prayer or savasana. Here's a blog on the topic, with links to the product:

Good luck!
