Popular yoga teacher Kathryn Budig says, “I use Sakara’s Beauty Water (rose water infused with 72 trace minerals) in my morning water, and often pour it from a container that has a chunk of rose quartz in. The rose water calms the adrenals, and the quartz energetically charges me.”

“My go-to for charging up my water is adding activated charcoal powder. I experience occasional GI issues, and adding a teaspoon of charcoal powder helps detoxify my digestive system. Bonus: It also helps to whiten my teeth!”, says Atlanta based yogi Chelsea Jackson.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Cayenne Pepper

“Drinking plain water is great, but some days you want a little extra pizazz or need your H2O to work double-time, nutritionally speaking. Two of my favorite add-ins, which I add at the same time, are apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper. Apple cider vinegar is known to lower blood sugar levels, reduce insulin sensitivity, aid in weight loss, and improve heart health. Cayenne pepper gives it a kick, plus contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, manganese, and flavonoids, which help improve circulation, lower cholesterol, and provide a metabolic boost”, says Corey Phelps, a yogi based in Washington D.C.
Cucumber and Herbs

NYC yoga teacher, Victoria Gordon says, “Particularly in the summer, I like to cool off and hydrate with fresh herb and cucumber water. I simply place 2-3 cucumber slices, which are rich in vitamin B-5, into my water bottle in the morning and add some fresh mint, basil, parsley, or cilantro. The herbs add an extra kick of flavor and refresh my breath. Throughout the day, I refill the bottle with filtered water and it continues to keep my thirst quenched. If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can add 1-3 drops of therapeutic, food-grade peppermint, lavender, or oregano essential oil and dilute in your bottle of water.”
