My exercise and yoga mats and I have close relationships. They support me from salutations to planks and are always there during corpse pose. I don’t think I care for them the same way they do me. I wipe them down and appreciate them, but I probably don’t love them like I should, especially after the dogs join me for a workout between baths. And don’t get me started on the, um, essence of body sweat that results from putting off the wipe down for another day.
Hubs and Teen Boy suggest hitting them with room deodorizer or bleach, but those won’t work for me. Just the thought of deeply inhaling a strong chemical makes me woozy. Soulful Essence’s products provide an excellent solution for the funky mat problem. They offered a sample of mat spray and I couldn’t resist.
Miami, Florida based Soulful Essence offers a mix of aromatherapy products designed to enhance your surroundings naturally. Minimal ingredients and great care go into the handmade roll-ons, oils, and sprays in the product catalog. Given my love of natural alternatives, I happily accepted the offer of Yoga Bliss Yoga Mat Spray. This blend includes the earth notes of Frankincense and citrusy lemongrass in its relaxing and stress-relieving formula. The spray comes out as a fine mist and the fragrance even caught the attention of Hubby and Teen Boy. They thought I had candles burning. No Longer a Teen Girl enjoyed this one, too. A 4 oz. bottle of Yoga Bliss is $19 and is sure to last a while. It’s also available in an 8 oz. bottle for $35.

When I received the sample, I was surprised to find a bottle of Get the Funk Out Spray in addition to the bottle of Yoga Bliss. The 4 oz. bottle contains a lemongrass and eucalyptus blend I love. This formula eases exhaustion, calms agitation, deodorizes and disinfects. I hit my gym bag and shoes with it and sprayed a little in the air. I can see Get the Funk Out in heavy use once Teen Boy starts football practice. 8 oz. bottles are also available and it works very well on stinky shoes forgotten in a gym bag.
When your mind forgets to wipe down the mats or anytime I want to add something more to my workouts, Soulful Essence is here to help. If spray formulas are not your thing, Soulful Essence offers bottled essential oil blends, roll-ons for aromatherapy-on-the-go, and two gift sets. I see bottles of Puppy Love and Meditation Station in my future. If you see Soulful Essence products in your future, check out the product catalog and choose your pleasure.
