How to use

Place the mat on a flat, dry surface and align it with your practice area. Use the patterned side up to benefit from the traction. For standing sequences, position your feet centrally to maintain balance; for floor poses, ensure adequate padding under knees or elbows. After practice, roll the mat with the patterned side inward for compact storage and to protect the surface. Clean the mat according to manufacturer guidance using a damp cloth or mild cleanser and allow it to air dry completely before rolling.

For best performance, use the mat on hard, even floors and avoid direct exposure to prolonged sunlight or high heat. Store rolled in a cool, dry place and clean regularly to maintain traction and extend the mat’s service life.
