Tips to maintain your yoga mat and how to wash a yoga mat

tips

Aurorae yoga mats are ready to use upon receiving. You will find they have virtually no odor, but if you find yourself slipping, here are some yogi tips that may help break in your yoga mat. As part of our Aurorae family, we are dedicated to resolve your problem or concerns and we guarantee your satisfaction and our products 100%. Our main goal is to ensure your safety and enjoyment that will allow you to maximize your yoga experience.

1. Wash your hands with soap & water before using your yoga mat. This will reduce any natural oils in your hands that may transfer to the yoga mat & cause slipping.

2. Do not use creams or oils on your hands or feet before your yoga practice to keep your mat clean. This may also cause slipping.

3. Wash your mat with a soft brush and a non-oil based soap or a tablespoon of detergent mixed with warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.

4. Hang dry your yoga mat outside in the sun if possible or hang over your shower-rod. Mat must be absolutely dry before using. (DO NOT PUT IN DRYER)

5. To keep your yoga mat fresh and clean, we recommend our Aurorae All-Natural Organic Yoga Mat Wash. Use to naturally clean your yoga mat while also giving it a fresh natural scent. Spray directly onto mat and wipe dry with towel. Mat must be dry before using. Recommended to clean after your yoga practice.

6. Always keep a cotton towel next to your yoga mat to wipe away any perspiration as well as to clean your mat.

7. If necessary use an Aurorae Yoga Slip Free Rosin Bag to absorb any perspiration, natural oils in your skin or resin from the mat itself that could cause slipping. Our Slip-Free Rosin Bag increases gripping power on your yoga mat. This product, Made in the USA, is made of materials derived from nature, has no odor and is non-sticky.

Synergy Yoga Mat-Towel Care & Washing Instructions

  • Synergy Care
    • Synergy Yoga Mat-Towel works in the opposite way than the Classic & Northern Lights yoga mats: the wetter it gets, the better your grip will become.
    • For best results, I recommend at the start of a yoga practice to lightly spray some water on the top surface of your Synergy mat where your hands & feet go in your downward dog.
    • This will prevent any sliding while your hands and feet are dry, as you perspire your grip will get better and your natural body chemistry will take over from your perspiration. If your hands and feet are normally moist you will probably not have to do this.
  • Synergy Washing Instructions
    • Machine wash alone with detergent on gentle, warm water, extra rinse cycle.
    • If you have a top-loading machine with an agitator, you should wash by hand with a coarse sponge to avoid any damage to the yoga mat
    • After rinsing your mat, wrap the Synergy mat in a bath towel and squeeze excess water out
    • Hang dry: DO NOT PUT IN DRYER
