April 6, 2007, Newsletter Issue #132: Yoga Mat Wipes Kill Bacteria And Keep You Well

Tip of the Week

Gaiam Tip: A yoga mat wipe is a useful yoga accessory even if you use your own yoga mat during a class. The floors of gyms and yoga studios attract germs just as much as any other public place, and even health-oriented yoga students get sick, so cleaning your yoga mat is worth a few minutes of your time.

Use a yoga mat wipe on your mat after each class to ensure that your mat is clean and your yoga practice contributes to your good health, not to your risk for catching a cold. Some manufacturers of yoga products offer “official” yoga mat wipes, but you get the same effect by using any disposable antibacterial wipes that you can buy in most grocery stores.
