I ask students to refrain from wearing fragrances or scented products (lotions, perfumes, deodorants, hairspray, fabric softeners, etc.) to in-person private sessions, and if you’ve bought a new mat, consider airing it out before bringing it to class. As a Highly Sensitive Person, I have a sensitivity to certain fragrances and smells and appreciate that no fragrances means everyone–myself included–can feel comfortable taking nice deep yoga breaths!
