Testimonial:
My Mysore Rug not only helps me stay firmly rooted in asanas when I am sweating, but it makes me feel more connected to nature – practicing on a natural fiber rug made in India where yoga originated – that’s powerful!
USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRACTICE RUGS
For best results with your Practice Rug, lightly sprinkle water over the entire rug surface, or lightly mist your rug evenly with a small spray bottle before class (especially at hands and feet position) and you should have excellent traction during your practice. You can also roll out your rug over your sticky mat after you begin to sweat and no water will be needed. The more you sweat, the better the traction.
Washing Directions:
All of our Practice Rugs are 100% cotton and can be washed in a standard washing machine on GENTLE CYCLE in COLD WATER ONLY. Or, they are best washed in a tub of cold water with a light, natural detergent and hung to dry. Please note: There have been two cases of people washing their rugs in a top-loading washing machine, where the churner of the machine has caught the fringes and pulled the fringes off of the rugs, so we suggest using your best judgment when adding them into your top-loading washing machine since there is a slight risk of this happening to you. Thousands of others have been washed in a top-loading machine with great success. If you are in a hurry, it is ok to throw your damp washed rug into a gentle dryer (15 minutes max and on low heat to avoid shrinkage) to expedite your drying time, but many like to take their damp rugs to class to achieve better traction. Rugs will tighten up with washing and drying and will stretch out again with use.
