In a city where sunsets, sound bowls, and sweat-drenched vinyasas have become part of the daily rhythm, a new kind of yoga experience is making waves—and it starts with your breath, balance and scent.
Welcome to Auratherapy, an Asheville & Miami-born wellness brand that’s transforming aromatherapy with its innovative experiential aura & chakra readings and aromatherapy perfume. Focused on bringing awareness to your inner vibe, the brand is now introducing its handmade vegan healing products, sold in exclusive spas like Canyon Ranch and Four Seasons, to your yoga mat.
Since launching its Flow & Glow (™) Chakra Yoga Series earlier this year in their Wynwood store, Auratherapy has drawn a passionate community of locals seeking more than a good stretch. They come for a chakra-based yoga class infused with essential oils, deep breaths, and energy awareness and come out smelling the roses, literally.
They call it scent with intent.
“We wanted to create a class that goes beyond the mat,” says Laura McCann, founder of Auratherapy and the visionary behind this new wellness wave. “Miami doesn’t need just another yoga class. It needs a healing experience that meets people where they are—stressed, anxious, overwhelmed—and gives them real tools to transform, breathe, and adore themselves.”
The Flow & Glow Chakra (™) Yoga Series unfolds one chakra at a time. The Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus sessions, held monthly since February, have taken participants through carefully choreographed flows designed to awaken each energy center—paired with guided breathwork and Auratherapy’s signature Chakra Boost Perfume Oil roll-ons made with organic essential oil blends.
But this is not just scent for scent’s sake.
Each chakra session is its own emotional exploration. The Root class invited grounding with vitality, a woodsy sandalwood and patchouli blend, sound bowls nachored the practice. The Sacral session stirred creativity and sensuality with blood orange, jasmine and ylang ylang notes, while mirror work asked for deeper connection to self. The Solar Plexus brought out empowerment with bold cinnamon and bright lemon and mandarin oils, a tea ceremony was performed evoking ancient rituals. These scents weren’t background ambiance—they were central to the experience, used at intentional moments in the yoga workshop to help anchor poses, deeper breaths, create awareness, and shift moods.
Miami’s yoga and wellness community has taken notice.
Classes consistently sell out, drawing a diverse crowd of curious locals -- from high-performing professionals to wellness devotees. Many guests learned about Auratherapy at the Yoga Expo in Fort Lauderdale this spring, where they hosted 100 guests and gave away a mat, water bottle and chakra boost discovery kit, valued over $300. By the way, they have a wellness giveaway you can sign up on their website to win the same swag (winners announced July 30th).
Held in Auratherapy’s stunning Wynwood store at 230 NW 25th street, guests can add to their Sunday morning yoga class a discounted personalized aura reading, which provides a real-time visual of how their energy has shifted.
From readings, to intentional chakra healing workshops, to the handmade products made in their factory in Asheville, Auratherapy provides many ways to balance your energy centers so that you can enjoy more mind-body and work-life fulfillment.
“The combination of movement, breath, and scent creates a feedback loop,” says certified yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator Thamar “Tami” Theodore, founder of Your Plugstation. “People come in carrying emotional weight they don’t even realize from the week or years of holding on, and by the end of my class, they feel lighter, self-aware, and more connected to their bodies. I designed it as an intimate class with up to 15 people, in the store, so I can take our guests through chakra specific poses and make each breath aligned to the outcome we designed: balanced chakras for a bigger aura, so you can show up how you truly are meant to show up in the world. Being in the store means we can step off the mat and access aura readings, products, and resources while connecting with our mind-body-soul needs in community.”
And the journey isn’t over.
Four 90 min chakra sessions remain—and if you’ve been thinking of jumping in, now is the time.
June 29th: Open & Glow (™) | Heart Chakra – Lead with love. Embrace the beauty of connection. Take a moment for Joy, with the gardenia, rose & jasmine blend that smells like a compassionate hug.
August 3rd: Speak & Glow (™)I Throat Chakra – Speak freely. Hear deeply. Honor your truth. Featuring the refreshing Communication blend with peppermint, sage & chamomile.
August 31st: See & Glow (™) I Third Eye Chakra – See beyond. Trust within. Awaken your vision. Anchored by the smoky and intoxicating Clarity blend with frankincense, tulsi & myrrh.
September 28th: Rise & Glow (™) I Crown Chakra – Let go. Open up. Trust the flow. The final class of the series invites connection to higher self and spiritual wholeness and is anchored in lavender, rosewood and cardamon, the Tranquility blend is calming and soothing.
Each class includes a sponsored goody bag including a mini roll-on perfume oil, part of what McCann calls “a ritual in a bottle.” These tools encourage guests to continue the work between classes—carrying their energy practice from studio to home.
But perhaps most exciting is what’s brewing behind the scenes.
While the public series wraps up this September, it’s just the beginning of a bigger vision. Auratherapy is preparing to launch “Breathe. Balance. Teach.
The Chakra Aromatherapy Foundations (™)”—a first-of-its-kind training curriculum for yoga schools and teachers who want to bring this format into their own classes and training programs.
“We’re building something modular and powerful,” says McCann. “Our dream is for every teacher to have the tools to incorporate scent, breath, and energy work into their flow. This isn’t just about yoga—it’s about emotional healing, nervous system support, and making the subtle body real and accessible. It's about re-introducing aromatherapy into the yogi’s practice in a way that aligns with the body soul connection.”
The curriculum includes half day and full day modules with sample scripts, practice sequences, chakra flash cards, and their best selling kit of chakra perfume oil roll-ons. While it’s still under wraps, it will be available to local yoga teacher training programs this Fall. Miami will be the first market to experience this evolution—with local studios already lining up to integrate the system.
Still, at its core, Auratherapy’s magic is simple: you can’t shift your energy if you’re not tuned in. And scent—something so often overlooked in traditional yoga—is proving to be the missing link.
Auratherapy is betting that Miami, with its heat, hustle, and hunger for wellness, is ready to lead the movement.
“We’re here to transform,” McCann says with a smile. “And to help people breathe differently. Feel differently. Move through life remembering they are pure light, love and energy.”
