The Hidden Dangers Lurking on Your Yoga Mat

Yoga mats are essential tools for a good practice, but have you ever thought about what’s lurking on yours? Hidden dangers might be closer than you think.

Sweat, Skin Cells, and Bacteria

After a sweaty yoga session, your mat can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, and even viruses. Sweaty, warm environments are perfect for germs to thrive, and if mats aren’t cleaned properly after each use, they can accumulate harmful microorganisms over time.

Allergens and Mold

If you store your mat in a damp environment or fail to dry it properly after cleaning, mold can develop. Mold spores are not only allergens but can exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma, making your peaceful yoga session a potential health risk.
