Yoga Aromatherapy.....Keeping it Clean....


Is your Yoga Mat Clean?

It's true, we need to keep the mats clean. After yoga, it's a good idea to spray with a disinfectant or wipe down with a gentle cleaner (soap and water is fine).

Here's what I do. I drape my mat over a railing in the house. I take the "OM" Yoga Mat Spray and spray so the mist falls on the mat. I flip the mat over and do the same on the other side. I just let it dry on the mat....and voila, a fresh, clean mat. You can easily do this in the yoga studio after class, just keep the bottle in your yoga bag.

The disinfectants are Witch Hazel with Tea Tree, Lavender and Bergamot Essential Oils. Tea Tree and Lavender have amazing disinfecting qualities. All you need to do is spray it over the mat.

Ideally you should wipe down your mat with soap and water every 3-6 months.

Remember.... it's better to get into your poses on a fresh mat.
