Yoga Hygiene

1. Looking for a yoga mat?

   Aeromat yoga mats provide amateur and professional yogis with phenomenal traction, comfortability, balance + security.

   However, if you don’t clean your mat, all those beautiful + true buzzwords will be for naught. Why? Because your mat will become such a massive harbinger of bacteria, you’ll never want to do yoga ever again.

   Think I’m playing?

   Enter Dr. Robert Lahita (he’s a doctor). He’s a professor of medicine at Rutgers School of Medicine. He holds a PhD in microbiology. He’s also an avid yoga practitioner.

   Here’s what he has to say:

    “Yoga mats are the worst […] A yoga mat is a perfect incubator for many of our skin infections. The yoga mat is a very fertile source for infection, mainly because people sweat on them and they rarely are cleaned.”

   Look, I get it; it’s tiring after a session, and all you wanna do is lay in both the soft and buoyant Aeromat yoga mat and your puddle of sweat. (Full disclosure – I partake in yoga at least once a week, and I always rest on my sweat and mat post-session).

   But after discovering Herban Essentials yoga wipes – moist towelettes that make cleaning your yoga mat an amazing scent experience – I can have a clear conscience every time I revert to child pose.

   Herban Essentials’ flagship product is their wipes, which come in a variety of scents. If you like lemonade and even Lemonade, their lemon scent is the one to go to. If you want to feel like you’re laying in a fragrant field in Yosemite, they have a lavender scent that’s top notch.

   Herban Essentials prides itself as a company on using 100% pure, therapeutic grade, steam distilled or cold pressed essential oils. If it sounds like some high quality stuff, that’s because it is. They make it paramount to locally source their oils from American farmers.

   So, here’s the rundown: your Aeromat is going to eventually going to get down & dirty. Herban Essentials will not only kill the germs, but leave an amazing scent behind. But if your unpersuasive-ass self isn’t convinced, here are three reasons why you should clean your mats, yo.

1. THAT

The yellow streaks in the petri dish? That is bacteria from a yoga mat.

2. RINGWORM AND ATHLETE’S FOOT
Look, if you’re not trippin’ over ringworm, you should google a picture of one and tell me if you aren’t scared then.

    3. HONESTLY, IF YOU’RE FOR REAL ABOUT NOT WANTING TO CLEAN YOUR YOGA MAT, YOU SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO PARTAKE IN YOGA.

Namaste.
