How to Use a Yoga Mat:

Yoga, which began more than 3,000 years ago in India, means to "yoke" or unite, the mind, body and spirit. The benefits of yoga include improved flexibility, strength, balance and stamina, and reduced anxiety and stress, according to KidsHealth.org. The essential piece of equipment used in yoga is a yoga mat. The yoga mat, which comes in various colors and thickness, provides comfort and safety from hard and slippery surfaces. Talk with your physician before engaging in a new fitness routine

Preparing the Mat

• Purchase a mat. Take in consideration cost, thickness, material, texture and stickiness. You also need to determine how often you will be engaging in yoga. If you will be participating often, consider a durable, more expensive mat
• Remove the mat from the package. Take care not cut through the packaging with a sharp object or you may damage it
• Unroll the mat and prepare it for use. Since the mat was rolled in packaging the corners may not lay flat. Place weighted objects on the four corners and leave in place until they lay flat automatically. This may take a few hours to a day. Yoga mats are primarily used in an unrolled position, so it is necessary to have flat corners for proper use
• Re-roll the mat and secure it with a yoga strap or belt. Store it in a dry place until ready for use

Activities

• Stand on the opened mat to perform yoga postures. You can participate in yoga under the direction of an instructor or you can do yoga at home with a DVD
• Lie on the yoga mat to perform crunches and other floor exercises such as leg lifts and pushups. Doing exercises on a bare floor can cause discomfort to the bony regions of the back, buttocks, hands and hips. A yoga mat can provide cushioning for these various exercises
• Sit on the mat to stretch after exercising at the gym or at home. Stretching helps prevent injury and increases flexibility and range of motion. Taking your yoga mat to the gym can reduce the spread of infections from mats or floors that may be unclean

How to Wash a Yoga Mat:

Yoga mats are used mostly on floors. Some of them might not be as clean as they look. Before you use one, you should take the time to regularly clean it. If your hands are sticky after class or a short routine, then you know that a cleaning is long overdue. Follow these steps to find out how to clean it

• Follow the manufacturer's directions. Since not all mats are made from the same materials, you will want to wash your mat according to the directions provided. If you have lost the cleaning instructions, stick to a nonabrasive cleaning process
• Decide just how dirty your mat really is. If all you need is a light cleaning, then you should create a solution of baking soda and water. Use a tsp. of baking soda to about two cups of warm water. Use a soft cloth to clean the dirty areas of your mat. Rinse the mat with clean water and dry with another cloth
• Deep clean your yoga mat by soaking it a tub of water. Use a kitchen sponge to scrub off the dirty spots. Avoid using detergents, as they will cause your mat to be slippery during use. A baking soda and water solution can be used for extremely dirty spots
• Dry your mat by rolling it with a towel (or two as you need to cover the length of the mat) and letting it rest overnight. In the morning, unroll your mat and hang it to finish drying
• Keep your mat clean by using a spray bottle of warm water or natural yoga mat wipes after each workout. Do not use alcohol based wipes on your mat
• Keep a few yoga mat wipes in your bag to do a quick clean before and after your workout. With basic maintenance, you should not have to do heavier cleanings very often
