I have a new love for Yoga :) especially Hot Yoga !

Last month I was away for work and one evening thought it might be a great way to unwind after my meetings.

TBH I'm pretty lucky with the places i get to stay, as they always seem to have really good gyms.

So this time, I decided to borrow one of the hotel loaner mats and was just getting into the zone. When all of a sudden while in the child's pose I caught a wiff of something very unpleasant.

It didn't take long to realize where the smell was coming from. The dang Yoga Mat !!

To look at it you would never known, but clean mats just don't smell like that!!

That was the end of that. Once I got back to my room I had a bit of a google search to see what option are available in case I ever find myself in a simlar position again.

There’s really not a lot of information out there but i did enjoy an old article by the NYT and this one which talks about how often to clean a yoga mat with a couple of products i have since purchased that are working well for me so far.

Following on from my last post on Yoga for baby's, Mat health is doubly important if your going to be sharing it with your little ones. XXo

Yoga Mat Health

Its not uncommon to pick up a fungal infection or a virus by sharing body fluid. Unfortunately Its really no different in a yoga context either.

That’s why having a good routine in place for before and after your workouts is so important. This site has a good article which is well worth a read if your after some helpful tips. :

How Clean Is your Yoga Mat?

Up until recently i never gave the condition of my mat much thought. Sure it was a little on the tatty side but it still offered me the support i needed.

I read this cool article: https://itsyourhealthandbody.com/review/how-to-clean-a-yoga-mat recently which has definitely changed the way that i now approach things and the old mat has gone.

For example once i would have been lucky to wash my mat once a month and even then it was a lazy effort. Now its every other-week with a organic spray and now after every session its a good wipe over with anti bacterial yoga wipes.

Job done :)

Do You Hate Smelly Yoga Mats??

I love yoga but I hate the way my mat can start to smell by the end of a week. For a while now I have been using a solution made up of white vinegar and water to wash down my mats each week. But these have been making a huge difference and are amazing when im out of town or on a loaner mat :
