Pranayama Meets Lavandula angustifolia : A Yoga Instructor's Sequencing Protocol for Inhalation Practice

Kriti is a certified yoga instructor and aromatherapy practitioner based in Bengaluru, India, working at the intersection where breath and scent meet.
For over a decade, she has formulated aromatherapy products while teaching yoga and breathwork as a parallel, equally serious practice.
In 2026, she launched Krypa Wellness, a sensory wellness brand creating natural relief rituals for stress, brain fog, and sleep disturbance.

This combination led her to a question rarely asked directly in either field: does the way a person breathes change how a botanical is received?

That question became the foundation of *Come Back to Your Senses*, her developed methodology for sequencing breath patterns with aromatherapy practice, rather than treating the two as separate calming tools used side by side.
She is currently moving this work toward formal validation, with a clinical pilot proposed at Cauvery Nature Cure Centre, India, to evaluate a Deep Sleep aromatherapy blend through a 30-day pre-post study design.

Kriti brings the rare combination of yoga certification and decade-deep aromatherapy formulation experience to a field where the two disciplines are often taught, practiced, and presented separately, and is now bringing that integrated lens into conversation with the broader clinical aromatherapy and herbal medicine research community.
