The universal sign of protection, the hamsa (evil eye) has long been trusted to ward off evil and bring good luck. Whether you’re tackling that crazy pose you saw on instagram or diving into a new project, the watchful hamsa is the perfect reminder that growth happens outside your comfort zone and as long as you take care of mind, body and soul, you’ll come out stronger on the other side. The mat is luxuriously dense for top of the line comfort and cushioning. A closed-cell surface prevents moisture and sweat from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria (ideal for hot yoga). The maiya hamsa mat is certified safe for human contact by OEKO-TEX, an environmental certification agency in Europe for the textile industry. Care instructions: we recommend lightly wiping your mat with a wet sponge or cloth. Machine washing is not recommended as it might affect the print. Lightly scrub clean with water and allow the mat to air dry. Dimensions: 6.1 lbs; 73" x 25.5"; 5 mm thick.
