2. Roll out your yoga mat and give it a spray with Purify: Cleansing Spray so it’s fresh and ready to go. After your session, spray your mat again before you put it away.
3. Show yourself some more loving care and massage some Massage Oil: Deep Relaxation into any areas that are still holding tension after your stretch.
