My name is Kara Roque and my yoga journey started about 9 years ago when a friend invited me to my first yoga class. I wish i could say that it was a love story and thats how i got here but thats not the case. All are called to the path but not everyone stays. After that first introduction there were many attempts to connect and classes taken. Yoga was always something that I liked and made me feel great but it would go on to take a couple more years and a place in my life when the yoga became so much more then just a workout or something to do with friends.

 

​

The yoga became a work in, a special date with myself when nothing else mattered, a quiet fire inside was being created and that fire turned into the deepest passion for this practice.

 

​

Yoga has become a necessity in my life, a driving force, a coming home. Eventually after drinking the Kool-Aid naturally I wanted to share it with everyone. I took my 200 hour yoga teacher training in October of 2019 and since then I have been teaching for the community whenever I have the opportunity. I love spreading the magic that yoga brings. It is the single thing in my life that I am most grateful and passionate for. 

 

Shortly after my yoga journey started, things started to shift inside of me. I was much more aware of the things in my life and the way they affected me. This in turn started my interest in a cleaner lifestyle, a better understanding of what I use on or put in my body and what I saw for my future. That just scratched the surface for the time being and then I got pregnant with my beautiful son, Asher. This changed everything. My want for a more pure, peaceful life became a need. That is what led me to doTERRA. This company spoke to me. The transparency, the knowledge and education, the precision they put into every oil, product, supplement was unmatched.

​

 

What once started out as aromatherapy essential oils became an unimaginable force for plant medicine and a whole new approach to treating mental, emotional and physical needs.

 

​

I quickly enrolled and became a member. I started small and as the months went on my knowledge grew, my oil collection grew and that same fire previously mentioned started to ignite. My passion for essential oils and doTERRA grew. Before long I became a wellness advocate with a plan to share my oils with anyone and everyone. What I’ve discovered? The general population doesn't know much about plant medicine. Well that just confirmed the reason i was on this journey. 

 

Last but not least, The Yogi Essentials came about because I was suggested by one of my doTERRA leaders to lead a series of yoga essential oil workshops as the two pair together beautifully. Some of our amazing doTERRA leaders have created a whole program and book guiding yoga teachers and/or wellness advocates to pair up and bring these workshops to fruition. Once the workshops started and I gained more knowledge on yoga, oils, how they pair and what works and doesn’t I wanted one place to bring it all together. The Yogi Essentials is dedicated to sharing all these things and more.
