If youpractice yogaor do floor workouts, you probably have ayoga mat.
Can you remember the last time you cleaned it?
If the answer is no, you probably aren’tcleaningit enough.
YogaSpark founder and instructor Lauren Porat spoke toWomen’s Healthabout the situation.
It’s tempting just to roll the mat up when you’re finishedexercisingand call it good.
However, that probably isn’t a healthy habit.
If you’d prefer not to use a spray, anantibacterial wipecould also do the trick.
Simple soap and water might also work.
“Let it air dry and then roll it up,” Porat said.
She also recommended adding a goodyoga towelon top of the mat to avoid getting it grimy.
Regularly cleaning your yoga mat can keep your practice healthier.
