When it comes to cleaning we recommend two methods
1. Use a Natural/Organic Sanitising Spray or disinfected wipes after every use
2. Deep Clean in a Washing Machine
You might be wondering how often you will need to pop your Reformer Pilates Mat into the wash and we recommend once a month to keep it as clean and hygienic as possible. If you do not use your Pilates Mat that often then every couple of months is fine as well.
We know it may sound a little dramatic but we have designed and created our mats so that they are able to be put through a washing cycle.
For a Deep Clean we recommend
1. Place your Reformer Pilates Mat in a safe washing bag
2. Do not use any detergent or softener
3. Place the Washing Machine on a Cold Wash and a Gentle Cycle
4. Hang to dry in a shady area
5. Now you are all ready to go and use your favourite Mat!

All our Pilates Mats are made out of Natural Tree Rubber and Suede meaning they are not only Eco-Friendly Mats but are long-lasting, however some deterioration may occur naturally after use. To keep your Mat long-lasting we recommend not using the washing machine too often (once a month), Roll it up like a Yoga Mat rather than folding and never place your Pilates Mat in direct sunlight.

What styles and designs would you love to see done on our Reformer Mats?
Becoming a rounded student in Yoga, Pilates, or Barre is quite the journey. Every person is committed to bettering their skills in every session. What you may not realise is if you don’t have the right equipment, you may be sabotaging your goals.
If you have ever completed a class, the chances are you have encountered the problem of slipping on your mat. When this occurs, all your focus is shifted from getting the most out of your workout to trying your best not to fall onto the floor. This can feel irritating and frustrating to say the least. Now, there is an easy solution to this problem.
When you think about essential items, you probably wouldn’t think of toeless grip socks at the top of the list. Pilates and Yoga is all about moving and focusing on how you balance your body. This is why toeless grip socks are an essential item for all flow lovers. The design offers maximum movement and comfortability, perfect for yoga and pilates. So you may be wondering what features make a good toeless non-slip grip sock and what is the key difference between normal grip socks? Here is all the information you need to know.
One of the main reasons we wear grip socks is for the extra grounding. A non-slip sock gives you extra stability in your workout. The high-quality materials on the bottom of the sole is what keeps the feet in place. This is also why your feet do not slip away when holding a pose.
Another key benefit of the grip is the ability for your toes to have more movement when performing one pose to another. Some users have even reported the openness design has allowed them to hold poses for a longer duration. Consider these socks to be sticking with you for life!
Keeping your balance can be difficult while trying out harder movements such as the Headstand (Sirsasana) or the Boomerang pose in Pilates. The toeless grip will help give your toes the extra movement to prevent any falls. The fitted heel also prevents any twisting at your ankle, preventing injury. Investing in quality non-slip sock will help you feel extra grounded and secure at your next flow.
Breath-work and meditation are the fundamentals of any yoga or pilates class. When you are working out, it is important to be able to move to the best of your ability. The last thing you want to be doing is fiddling around with your socks and not connecting with your inner self. With a quality pair of fitted toeless socks, you won’t even feel them on your feet during a class.
If you’re looking for a durable and diverse non-slip sock, the toeless socks are a great option. The half toe design compared to the normal sock, allows you to move more freely during your flow. Whether you are just starting or a seasoned pro, the toeless range is a must-add addition to your gym bag.
Did we mention toeless socks aren’t just for flow activities? Many yogi’s wear their socks for different purposes. This includes around the house and for other physical activity.
We guarantee you won’t regret this purchase and you will find many ways to wear this item.

A Pilates class can never be complete without non-slip grip socks. The art of Pilates depends on the alignment of posture and balance. In fact, experts say that initially Pilates can turn out to be a little intimidating.

If you're still wondering why grip socks are so essential for Pilates, take a look at these points.
Exercises for Pilates require a good grip and proper balance. The feet are the major focus. Slips or injuries can be prevented by choosing Pilates grip socks over normal socks to cover the feet.

]]>Do you find yourselves slipping and sliding on your yoga mat while you practice? It can be distracting and frustrating. Instead of focusing on your practice, you find yourself worrying about sliding on your yoga mat. There is a remedy for this frustration: Yoga Toeless Grip Socks.
Practicing yoga is about finding peace of mind and developing a healthy body. It takes great focus and awareness to achieve this intention when you practice this ancient exercise. Having distracting thoughts can shift your focus away from your practice. Sliding on a sweaty yoga mat can be just as aggravating.

Wearing yoga toeless grip socks during a yoga class will help your practice tremendously. Here is how they work. First of all, an ideal toeless grip sock features a secure heel grip so your socks do not slip off of your feet. Next, the PVC grip dots that cover the surface of your socks actually securely grip to your mat so you do not slide. Lastly, your yoga socks will absorb moisture from your feet; this ensures a clean dry yoga mat while you practice, too.
There are many standing yoga postures that require steadiness of your feet on your mat. For example, performing Warrior 2 Pose has your front foot firmly planted into the ground. Your back foot, however, is at an angle. If you're foot is sweaty without the use of yoga socks, there is a tendency to slip and potentially fall out of your pose. The grip-action of the socks will ensure a solid and grounded posture. You will feel more confident in your pose and you can focus more intently on your practice.
The same can go for poses like Downward Facing Dog or Dolphin Pose. Because the gripping dots surround the entire surface of the yoga socks, your toes will stick to your mat without the fear of slipping out of your pose.
Grip socks without toes are a wonderful solution for your yoga practice and are quite practical off the YOGAT™ yoga mat, too. During your yoga class, your whole foot remains snug within your socks with just enough movement in your toes. This will allow your feet to stick to the mat when needed and move fluidly through yoga postures and sequences. Further, since your whole foot is covered, you can wear your grip socks comfortably in a pair of sneakers or other shoes. This, too, will allow for full support of your foot and a non-slip experience.

Your non-slip grips socks can also be used in other activities like Pilates Classes, Barre Classes, or even just relaxing around the house! The grip socks enhance your confidence and safety knowing that you will not slip and slide during your favourite activities.
If you want to improve your yoga practice by reducing the possibility of external distractions, then a pair of yoga grip socks is a good item to add to your shopping list. You will find that these comfortable, stylish, and supportive piece of activity wear will be a very wise investment.

]]>It does not matter if it is Pilates, Yoga, Barre or any type of exercise! The simple fact is that your body needs water to function. Did you know that you can also loose water while you sweat! That is right, if you are doing any high intensity workouts it is important to have the right hydration around possible.
By not drinking enough water it can lead to many altered results such as body temperature flux ration, reduced motivation, fatigue and that heavy feeling of exercise being more of a drag rather than fun and motivating.
Did you know that just 1-3% of body weight can make the brain go a little cray cray! If you are feeling a bit irritated and frustrated you might need to start drinking some more water! Just the in bit of dehydration can impair your mood, memory, brain performance and can lead into a headache! Ouch!
We do not want to be the bear of bad news but if you are not drinking enough water during the day then yes this could be a high possible chance as to why you are ending up with headaches and migraines. You are starving the body of its water!
We have all been there, even if you don’t remember it! By increasing fluid intake can help your bowel movements. So get drinking to get pooping!
Kidney Stones are very painful clumps of mineral crystal that form in the urinary system. Although there is limited evidence around water intake helping prevent recurrence in people who have already had Kidney stones there is certainly positiveness around having a higher water intake to pass from fluid.
We have all been there! Did you know that drinking just one glass of water between drinks can help the risk of a hang over? Crazy we know.. but maybe you already knew! Alcohol is a diuretic which means you actually loose water than take it in. It is recommend to have a HUGE glass of water before bed or why not go for a whole bottle of water to prevent any hang overs.
The more you drink the better you will be off! It is important to keep the body as healthy and hydrated as possible. The more water can also help increase your metabolic rate.
