cleaning yoga mats

1. Regular wiping: Wipe your yoga mat after each use with a damp cloth or a special yoga mat cleaning spray to remove sweat, bacteria and dirt.
2. Use mild cleaning agents: If necessary, use a mild detergent or a special yoga mat cleaner to remove stubborn stains. Make sure the detergent does not contain any harsh chemicals that could damage the yoga mat material.
3. Gentle hand wash: For a more thorough cleaning, you can also hand wash your yoga mat using a mild soap or detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. Then rinse the mat thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue.
4. Let it dry: After cleaning, let your yoga mat air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or dryers, as this can damage the material. It is best to hang the mat up or lay it flat.
5. Disinfection: You can also use a solution of water and a mild disinfectant to disinfect your yoga mat. Spray the solution on the mat and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it down and letting it dry.
6. Regular cleaning: Clean your yoga mat regularly, especially if you use it frequently or in public studios, to prevent bacteria and odors and to extend the life of the mat.

Follow these instructions to keep your yoga mat clean and maintain its quality over time.

The height of a meditation cushion can make a difference in your sitting position and comfort during meditation. Here is a general explanation of the different heights:

1. 10 cm height: Meditation cushions with a height of 10 cm are usually low and offer a more stable and closer to the ground sitting position. They may be suitable for people who have flexible hip muscles or prefer less flexibility.
2. 15 cm height: Meditation cushions with a height of 6 inches offer a medium height that allows for a comfortable sitting position without being too high or too low. They offer a little more support than the lower cushions and can suit a wider range of people.
3. 20 cm height: Meditation cushions with a height of 20 cm are higher and offer an elevated sitting position. They are particularly suitable for people with limited flexibility in the hips or knees as they offer greater relief and can help make sitting for longer periods more comfortable.

Choosing the right height depends on your personal preference, height, and flexibility. Some people prefer lower pillows for a more stable base, while others prefer higher pillows to achieve better spinal alignment.
