Yoga fans really love their mats, but the truth is these mats can be as filthy as a baby’s Binky.
Yes, the mats provide comfort. And sure, they’re designed to help you in your poses, to aid you in achieving and maintaining the positions necessary to build strength, stamina and flexibility. But they also spend a lot of the time on the floor, attracting sneeze-inducing dust, smelly sweat and a myriad of bacteria that may be harmful to your health.
Yoga is a physical activity that can cause you to sweat while you work out, especially when you practice the more intense forms of it. That perspiration then gathers on your mat. Additionally, your mat spends time on communal floors that have been walked on, laid on and most certainly sweated on by many classmates. While the yoga mat may not be as absorbent as a kitchen sponge, it’s hardly immune to these elements. It is going to pick up more than its fair share of microbes, microorganisms that you can’t see with the naked eye such as bacteria, algae, fungi and mold.
Before you abandon the idea of ever touching another yoga mat again, stop. It’s not a lost cause, thanks to our Microban yoga mat. These high-tech mats are specifically designed to fight those tiny, unseen organisms that can leave you with a gross mat.
Microban zinc-based antimicrobial technology is infused in these mats while they are manufactured. It helps protect against stains and odors in between cleanings, and will not fade over the lifetime of the mats. It’s a particularly smart choice for yogis who don’t get around to cleaning their equipment as often as they should.
The quarter-inch thick Microban yoga mat is six feet long and two feet wide. It’s available in blue, purple, black and olive green. Like traditional mats, it has a textured, nonslip grip and is very durable.
A significant part of yoga is leading a healthy lifestyle. This includes good hygiene. Don’t let another day go by without considering what this innovative mat option can do for you.
