FAQ
How do I care for my Magic Mat?
HOW DO I CLEAN MY MAT?
For the most part, using any fitness wipes after a class should keep your mat clean and protected. If it's a particularly sweaty class, use a drop of dish soap in a bucket of water to wipe it down. Lay your mat flat to dry, and allow to dry completely.
WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD I AVOID USING ON MY MAT?
Avoid using any scented lotions before practicing. Essential oils will stain your mat/ and or make it slippery. Please follow directions above to keep your mat clean and in top shape!
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY MAT?
Once completely dry, roll up your Magic Mat with the colored side, with the etched design on the outside between uses. It’s designed to be rolled this way and this will help ensure your mat rolls out flat each time you use it for your practice.
Store it in a cool place indoors away from direct sunlight ready for your next practice.
What's the story?
My name is Nicole and I created Magic Mats at the yoga studio my husband and I own in Fort Collins, Colorado-- Foss Yoga.
I saw SO many students coming into class with PLASTIC and FOAM mats that made their practice a slippery mess and created wrist and shoulder issues. Students were FRUSTRATED slipping in down dog-- and sometimes they quit their membership to give their wrists a break, even when yoga was the only thing holding their mental wellbeing together.
After buying one of EVERY mat on the market to sell at Foss Yoga and solve this problem for students, I wasn't happy. These mats weren't grippy, supportive, gorgeous, or durable enough to sell to my students, my friends and family!
When you can't find it, you make it.
We created dozens of alignment designs and found what worked best for students. Then we went out and found a manufacturer who is an absolute magician with rubber, and voila!
Magic Mats.
From our very first sample mat to our latest launch, we are so grateful you're here!
Say NO to plastic and foam mats and YES to a little more magic in your practice.
