Aurorae Yoga Mat Towel Review & Giveaway!

Hi there!

Today I’ve got a fun giveaway for you guys! Recently the folks at Aurorae sent me a yoga product of theirs, called the Synergy Mat Towel, to try out. I was intrigued by the mat because of its built-in non-slip microfiber towel.

I had never seen a yoga mat with a built-in towel before, and it sounded like a brilliant idea to me. I had owned a few yoga mats already, but wasn’t in love with them because of how I seemed to find myself slipping around on the mat once I started sweating and getting into my workout. I was interested to see if Aurorae’s mat would eliminate this annoyance.  Aurorae Mat Giveaway

Aurorae is a yoga, fitness & aromatherapy e-retailer that has recently expanded into a number of new divisions, including apparel and outdoor accessories such as beach towels. They’re a small family business who keeps customer service and satisfaction as their main priority as they operate in the spirit of yoga.

Their yoga mats come in some gorgeous colors, and the one I received was called Lapis.

I didn’t find myself slipping at all on my mat during my at-home yoga practice sessions, but I knew I had to put the so-called ‘super absorbent’ mat to the ultimate test before I shared my review: a Saturday morning 90-minute rock & roll yoga class at a local studio. While it’s not hot yoga, the room usually feels to be around 80 degrees, and between the duration of the class, the lack of cool air in the room, and many warm bodies getting their yoga on in a small space, I always leave completely soaked in sweat.

I’m happy to report that my Aurorae yoga mat was perfect during my intense yoga class! I noticed at the beginning of class that every single person in the crowded studio had a towel placed over top their regular yoga mat to soak up their sweat. Laying a towel over my mat tends to annoy me because it moves around during my practice, and I love that the Synergy mat eliminates the need to do this!

The mat is currently priced at a major sale of $49.95, which you can check out here. However, today I’m doing a giveaway and one lucky reader will win a Synergy mat!

    What a cool idea! I actually just bought a new non-slip towel because mine somehow got lost in the move?? This would totally eliminate the need for that. Is the mat easy to clean?

    Btw, you look great!

    Haha, i’ve been needing a new mat … the studio I used to go to let you keep your mat there, but then they closed down suddenly and I never had a chance to get my mat back. My favorite colors are either Lapis or Amethyst, both are lovely! Thanks for the giveaway! This towel/mat combo looks like a really great idea!
