Thanks!|||Pilates are really good to tone your abs. If you have little fat on your stomach, then those are really good for you so your abs show.

My own opinion is that finding a teacher you connect with is more important than than individual style, so you may want to sample whatever is available near you.

How do you clean a yoga mat?

well my dogs did a number on my yoga mat and its pretty bad, how am i suppose to clean it?|||Step1


Don%26#039;t share your mat.





This is the first simple rule of avoiding a fungal or bacterial infection from a yoga mat. Buy your own mat and make it exclusively yours. Don%26#039;t share it with anyone. Consider your yoga mat to be as personal as your toothbrush and you%26#039;ll reduce your risk of contracting a nasty foot infection.





Step2


Use your washing machine.





Most people don%26#039;t realize they can clean their mat in the washing machine. Use cold water along with a mild detergent and stop the dryer before it goes through the spin cycle. Once removed from the dryer, lay the mat out to dry completely before storing it. Avoid exposing your mat to heat as this can cause the fibers of the mat to break down.





Step3


Cleaning a slightly soiled mat.





If your mat only has light soiling and doesn%26#039;t require a cycle through the washing machine, you can mix a cup of warm water with several drops of mild detergent to create a dilute, soapy mixture. Use a sponge to gently massage the soiled areas with your homemade solution. Follow up by sponging down with a sponge dampened in warm water. Allow your mat to dry thoroughly.





Step4


Clean it lightly after every use.





To keep your mat looking and smelling fresh, spray it lightly with a mat cleaning spray. To make your own all-natural mat cleaning spray, add three drops of tea tree oil, two drops of peppermint oil, and two drops of lavender oil to distilled water. Mix thoroughly and place the solution in a spray bottle. Spray your mat lightly after every use and wipe it down gently with a damp sponge.





Step5


Have a regular cleaning schedule.





To keep your mat looking and smelling great, have a regular cleaning schedule. In addition to spraying it after every use, place it in the washer every three to four weeks for a more thorough cleansing.


______________|||If your mat is lightly soiled, use a spray bottle, damp sponge, or terry cloth rag to apply a solution of two cups of water and four drops of dish soap. Rub the soiled areas. Wipe the mat with clean water; then rub with a dry terry cloth towel. Hang to air dry.





If your mat is heavily soiled, submerge it in a solution of warm water and mild detergent; use very little soap as any residue may cause the mat to become slippery during future use. Thoroughly hand wash the mat and rinse in clean water. After squeezing out the excess water, lay the mat on a dry towel and roll the mat and towel together. Stepping on the rolled up mat will squeeze more moisture out of the mat and into the towel. Then unroll and hang to air dry.|||Try a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water...or...some baking soda and a bit of water.

What's the difference between Yoga and Pilates Classes at the gym?

Yoga principally is against Christian religious beliefs so perhaps pilates would be better.|||yoga is more stretching the muscles. Pilates is strengthening them. I%26#039;ve done both and yoga can be tough but it%26#039;s easy going and I like to do it before a jog or something. But Pilates is a workout of it%26#039;s own and you can be as sore as if you just did some weight training. They are both good for stretching and flexibility|||about 拢40 a class in notting hill.lol

How long should I do yoga for every day?

I%26#039;ve taken some classes in the past but now to save some money I%26#039;ve downloaded some yoga videos. There%26#039;s ones that are only 20minutes long and others that are 30-60min.
