Both yoga and healing crystals have the ability to bring inner peace. In yoga, release, transformation, expansion and awareness happen when the mind, body and spirit connect through breath and movement.
Crystals work in a similar way, only the mind, body and spirit connect through energetic vibration.
When combining both (yoga and crystals) during your practice you will receive all the benefits into your inmune system at another level.
It becomes truly energy medicine for the mind, body and soul.
A yoga practice takes you into a journey within yourself, helping you to regain balance.
Holding a crystal in your hand, or laying several on you body, and breathing deeply for 10-minutes has a similar affect.
Both actions have a parallel effect.
Another fact is that people practice yoga to help reduce anxiety and stress.
While healing crystals are often times worn to help relieve anxiety and stress as well.
Integrating the two creates a powerful, symbiotic energy combination that deepens your yoga practice and increases spiritual growth and self-exploration.
It takes you to a deeper level of healing, creating a closer connection with your yoga practice, your crystals and, most importantly, your self.
Once you incorporate crystals into your yoga practice, you will instantly feel the energetic shift, and wonder why you haven’t been using them all along.
Setting a crystals in a grid around the perimeter of your mat is the first phase of this experience.
Allow yourself to connect with the energy of the crystals progressively.
Place your crystals on your body for savasana.
As a yoga teacher I started by placing them over the chakra the practitioners had displayed imbalance based on their selection at the beginning of the class.
Trust your intuition when choosing which healing crystals you want to incorporate into your practice, because nine out of ten that your choice is based on energy’s realignment necessity.
So, your choice should be placed over the chakra’s related crystal.
Everyone will resonate with different crystals, and you may also be drawn to different crystals on different days.
Based on my experience working with crystals, I’m sharing a basic layout of crystals grid for a beginner’s reference.
Black tourmaline, selenite and lepidolite. Is a protective, stabilizing and calming basic crystal grid layout to which you can add other crystals on top of.
Yoga crystals for the top edge of your yoga mat:
Selenite crystals for mental clarity and expansion (I also like to place two pieces on the sides of my mat).
Selenite also provides cleansing and purification. Installs peace, enhances telepathy. It connects to Angelic Realms (because of its high frequency and energetic vibration).
Selenite Pyramid
I even place some crystals at home over a Selenite wand, to cleanse and reprogram them with this powerful crystal.

THE POWER OF CRYSTALS…
They are objects of beauty, fascination and mystery. They never lose their beauty so they can be treasured and exchanged.
They can become as expression of wealth, magical properties and even part of the spiritual healing paradigm.
They have been used as complementary healing during a long tradition across the world.
In contemporary practice there are two main ways in which they are used:
1. Spiritual healing paradigm:
To channel and amplify energy from the healer, or from the spiritual realms with which the healer works.
Healing energy is mentally directed through the stone, which amplifies and clarifies the healing potential.
Example:
North American Indian healers use quartz in this way to diagnose a problem and then remove it. When facilitating this healing support the crystal may or may not come into contact with the receiver.
2. Resonance Placement Paradigm:
For this is not required to belief in the spiritual worlds or any energy coming from elsewhere. It relies on the power of the crystals themselves and the healing intuition of the individual.
The difference here is that there is a wider variety of stones that may be used, compared to Spiritual Healing paradigm that is limited to two.
When they are placed on or around the body, the color, shape and composition of the stones may be used, each one chosen for a particular beneficial effect of the patient or receiver.
Their color, shape and composition of the stones are thought to create an encouraging resonance that will provide healing to the patient by taking place to the affected area.
India Ayurvedic tradition encourages choosing stones to bring harmonious energy to each individual.
