Your Guide
Aromatics for Yoga© was created by Amelia Adrian — the first person in the UK to develop a training of this kind, and one of the leading voices in the integration of Aromatherapy and Yoga.
With over a decade of experience and thousands of students and teachers supported, Amelia brings both the science of aromatics and the subtle, intuitive realms into one cohesive, embodied approach — inviting the plants to be experienced as allies, teachers, and companions in practice.
She holds space that feels like home — and this training is not just about instruction. It's about awakening what's already within you.
Kirsty McGill (pilates & yoga teacher), Aromatics for Healers© Winter 2026
""The experience of working with essential oils was like remembering a piece of my living and practice that had been quietly waiting to return. I feel confident in bringing the oils, practices, and learnings into my own life, my teaching, and my personal well-being - as well as that of my daughters. It feels like a gift for all of us. The connection with TCM flows naturally into what I already offer - something unplanned, yet arriving perfectly, as if it had always been meant to be."
Isabel Som Monsieurs ~ Aromatics for Yoga© 30 hour graduate 2025
"The structure of the training really worked for me - theory mixed with hands-on exercises and yoga, SUPER. Yes Absolutely! (I would recommend this training). The combination of Yoga / Shiatsu / Qigong / DoIn with essential oils is fantastic. It helps you ground and feel yourself in a more profound way. Thank you Amelia for showing me another way to do this."
Lana Lau ~ Aromatics for Yoga© 30 hour graduate 2025
"I was hoping to be able to add an element to my teaching that would enhance my students' experience of peace, calm and healing. I was almost completely new to essential oils, so the depth and breadth of information, all the ways the EOs can be explored and incorporated, has been transformational for me. I very much enjoy Amelia's energy and the way she explains things. I would absolutely recommend it to others. It provides a wonderful framework for beginning to incorporate EOs into a yoga practice"
Jenny Light ~ Aromatics for Yoga© graduate 2024
I would definitely recommend to any of my yoga teacher friends interested to explore more about essential oils in their teaching. My biggest takeway was the Aroma Points Technique - it planted a seed. I always wanted to be a body worker as well as a yoga teacher as have a huge interest in people’s wellbeing but also Aroma Point Technique fascinates me like fascia and emotions etc. The course definitely inspired me to take that step further so thank you!!! 🙏🏻
Poppy Burford ~ Aromatics for Yoga© 30 hour graduate 2024
The practical yoga classes were wonderful even through zoom. Learning things that I have heard about or been told, but then experiencing them first hand with the oils was enlightening...Yes (I would recommend this training) Detailed and in depth training provides one with so much more knowledge on how to use oils within classes and it is then bound to excel the service a teacher provides to their students."
Glenna Gerstenkornais Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© 2023
"It was much more than just a regular training. Amelia's experience , knowledge wisdom and passion combined with her intuition and professional manner allowed for a very rich learning experience. Combining the oils with acupoints was a big "aha" as well as the oil meditations. It made me realize how much there is to discover, the many ways that the oils can be supportive within a yoga setting and that the possibilities with these incredible oils are endless."
Isabel Hirschnigg Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© 2023
"Thank you very much Amelia, you are a great teacher! I have been given the tools to offer Aroma Yoga. I feel like I am at the beginning of a deeper journey, I feel very inspired and I’m very thankful for having you as a teacher. Yes, I would recommend...this course (which) opened new opportunities for teaching yoga and to deepen my yoga experience as well as the experience of my students. I feel I have something very special to offer "Yoga in combination with Oils."
Anais Alvarado YogaTeacher and Studio Owner and Manager
"People love the classes with oils. They have mentioned the oils add a layer to their practice that is very personal and very helpful. They’re able to connect with their breath for longer and remain focused for longer. The oils also bring a sense of luxury to the experience on the mat...All classes I taught with oils before have been far better attended than those where I didn’t use the oils."
Evie Moller Yoga Teacher
"A key benefit of the Aromatics has been setting me apart from other teachers, showcasing a point of difference in my class and offering something new. The Aromatics have helped to define and pinpoint my yogic philosophy curriculum as well as provide a connection to Chinese Medicine and energies. By being able to pair particular oils with yogic philosophy or even seasons, my students have had an additional tool to help them understand the theme of the class and engage both physically and mentally. "
Patricia Zafra Yoga Teacher and SunKiss Yoga Retreats
"The benefits of aromatics in yoga have been remarkable for my students. Many not only report feeling more grounded and relaxed but they have also shared that Aroma Yoga has become their favourite regular practice. Personally, I've noticed a profound shift in the energy of my classes when using aromatics. There's a sense of tranquility and serenity that permeates the space, allowing for a more profound and transformative experience for both myself and my students."
This Training is for you if :
⟐You're ready to weave aromatics into your classes, retreats, or studio in a way that feels natural and embodied.
⟐You want to offer experiences that go beyond the technical — that drop your students into genuine stillness and presence.
⟐You've reached a ceiling in your teaching and are ready to unlock the next level of depth and creativity.
⟐You want practical, immediately applicable tools — sequences, Aromapoint techniques, and aromatic applications you can use from day one.
⟐You're called to teach not just through instruction, but through the innate intelligence of nature.
As a teacher and guide, you are not here just to instruct. You are here to create an experience beyond the technical — a breath field that remembers itself through aroma, stillness, and spaciousness.
How the training is structured
Aromatics for Yoga© combines self-study online modules with two live training days — giving you both the depth of independent exploration and the magic of learning together in real time.
Each live day opens with a themed Aroma Yoga class, grounding everyone in the body before the mind gets involved. From there we move through deep dives into the science and theory of aromatics, Aromapoint Technique, Meridians, Energy Centres, and Stress & Resilience — weaving practice and knowledge together throughout.
Space is held each day to revisit questions from your self-study, and every student has the opportunity to practice teaching in a small group and begin building their own class plans.
You leave not just informed, but ready.
Accreditation
A certificate will be presented upon completion of all elements including, assignments, observations, attendance, and the teaching assessment.
Who is this Course for?
Aromatics for Yoga© is open to yoga teachers, trainee teachers, therapists, bodyworkers, movement therapists, and health and wellness professionals who want to understand the theory, science, and art of aromatics in a therapeutic setting. Trainee yoga teachers are welcome.
This training is equally valuable whether you work with groups or one-to-one, and whether you're looking to deepen an existing offering or begin working with this methodology for the first time.
Fitness instructors, Pilates teachers, and other educators are warmly welcome — please note this training will not certify you to teach yoga if you are not already a qualified yoga teacher.
If you work with people and you feel called to bring the intelligence of plants into that space — this is for you.
