AURORAE YOGI TIPS

· Wash your mat down with a soft brush and a tablespoon of dish washing liquid or detergent then rinse off. Do this in the shower if you can't do outside then hang over shower rod to dry. Repeat if necessary.

· Hang dry outside in the sun if possible. DO NOT PUT IN DRYER. Your mat must be absolutely dry before use.

· To keep your mat clean and fresh, spray Aurorae Yoga Mat Wash directly onto mat and let soak then wipe dry. Do as needed after use. This will disinfect, restore and keep your mat fresh and clean.

· Wash your hands with soap and water before class to reduce any natural oils in your hands.

· Do not use creams or oils on your hands or feet before your practice.

· Always keep a cotton towel* (available by Aurorae) near you to wipe away any perspiration.

· If necessary use an Aurorae Yoga Rosin Bag to absorb any perspiration and increase gripping power.

Remember "It's Your Yoga"

"Your Island of Peace and Tranquility" Thank you for your Loyalty and Support. Namaste Dennis Ingui CEO/Founder, Aurorae

5 out of 5 stars Amazing mat!   September 6, 2010
S. O'Brien (by the beach, CA United States)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have had my Aurorae mat for nearly eight months and still consider it one of the best mats out there. As a yoga teacher, I've tried many different mats ranging in price from $50 to $100 and the Aurorae mat beats them all. It's as long and wide as the 'premium' mats that are twice the price, but it's super lightweight so it's easy to carry around. The thickness is perfect: everyone who has tried my Aurorae mat comments on how nice it feels. It's thick without being too firm or two soft.

I've also been impressed with the durability of my Aurorae mat- I practice daily at home, and in the studio at least 3-4 times a week. I also use my mat outside on grass, concrete and flagstones. Obviously it's been put through a lot, but it's still in excellent condition. I have washed it once a month according to the manufacturer's directions and aside from a slight discoloration where my hands and feet are positioned in down dog, it still looks brand new.

Since the Aurorae mat is phthalate-free, it didn't stink of plastic when it arrived. I only had to unroll it and let it sit out for a couple of hours and I was able to use it that night. It also didn't smell like rubber as some of the other premium mats do. It's not only scent-free, it doesn't seem to hold odors (which is important if you sweat a lot!) There's nothing worse than being in child's pose and holding your breath because your nose is so close to a plastic-y/sweaty-smelly/rubber-stinking mat.

The only drawback I've found for my mat is that it isn't very 'sticky' when I sweat, but I have yet to find a truly sticky mat anywhere. In my experience, if you practice hot yoga or sweat a lot, no mat is going to be sticky enough without a towel over the top (I use a microfiber towel specifically made for yoga). I have the roisin bag also sold by Aurorae and that helps a lot, but when the studio is 100F+, I need a towel to help soak up the sweat and allow my hands some traction in down dog.

On the other hand, if I practice in an unheated area the mat works fine. It's not 'sticky' so much as the top of the mat allows my hands to sink in a bit and gain some traction. That's nicer than the last 'sticky' mat I tried which was so sticky that I couldn't keep hair and lint from gathering all over the top. Gross!

Overall, I've been so pleased with my Aurorae mat that I'm considering buying another one just so I can keep one at the studio and one at home. I also recommend this mat to all my students and every one who has bought an Aurorae mat has been just as pleased as I am. I don't think you can find a better mat, especially for the price!


3 out of 5 stars It slips **Edit**   September 6, 2010

For this much money, I shouldn't have to buy an extra product just so the mat won't slip.

My wife has a yoga mat for a little less money and it doesn't slip at all.

**Edit**

Thank you for the feedback.

I must say i'm rather surprised.

I have changed my star rating and I will do as you say.

I prob won't get around to it until later this week, due to work.

I will edit my comments again after I have followed your instructions.

Thanks again for your feedback, Eric

I had a problem with my mat when it first arrived so I contacted Aurorae directly via email and the CEO got back to me within the hour and shipped me a brand new mat so that I didn't have to deal with the return process. Excellent customer service!

I found this mat to be extra thick, which I love. It wasn't very sticky when I first got it but I recommend using the rosin bag. It worked like a charm.

Overall, I highly recommend this mat!


1 out of 5 stars what a piece of crap!   August 30, 2010

This mat was REALLY slick...too slick to do yoga on. It came with instructions to make it less slick, suggesting to wash it in hot water. That did nothing, as did the rest of the steps. I rubbed rosin on it, which also had no effect. It's totally useless. I wish I'd bought a mat from Hugger Mugger.


5 out of 5 stars I love my Aurorae yoga mat!   August 28, 2010

I have the Violet mat and I love it! It's way longer and thicker than my old yoga mat. I don't use it for yoga. I'm doing kettleworx and it consist of doing a lot of lying on my back. This mat really gives me a lot of extra support and cushion on my back. It does not gives me back pain! It's also very easy to clean. It's machine washable. I definitely recommend it!
