Do I need to use the salt method before using my new PRO Series mat?Updated 9 hours ago

The salt treatment is entirely optional and is not required before using your mat. 

While some practitioners choose to use it in an effort to accelerate their adjustment to the mat's surface, we simply recommend practicing on your mat regularly. Your PRO Series mat can be used and enjoyed right away without any special preparation.

The PRO Series features a closed-cell, non-porous surface, which means moisture remains on top of the mat rather than being absorbed. Because of this, practitioners with active or sweatier practices may notice reduced traction when things heat up. For added grip, we recommend pairing your mat with a hand towel or a yoga mat towel.
