As a mom of 4 and having overcome eating disorders, I want to give you hope. I am living proof that you can finally slow down and accept who you are. There is an aligned balance between your identity as a woman and parent.
While a quality yoga mat can help performance, choosing the right cleaner is just as important for taking your practice to the next level.
However, no matter what mat you use for warrior pose and downward dog, cleaning your mat at least once a week is the golden rule. If you practice every day or in a hot yoga style, I recommend cleaning your yoga mat more frequently using an all-natural water-based cleaner. I always try to use cleaners with non-toxic organic chemicals—especially if my face and body are going to be in close contact with the surface like a yoga mat.
