FAQ

Is the Helena Yoga Mat non-toxic?
Yes. Helena is made from PER and is free of phthalates and latex, so you can breathe easy during pranayama and sweat sessions alike. Yune Yoga

Is 6mm too thick for balance work?
For most practitioners, 6mm strikes a “comfort + control” sweet spot—ample cushion for joints while maintaining stability. If you primarily train advanced balance on very firm ground, you may prefer a thinner surface; otherwise 6mm is a versatile choice recommended by many reviewers and instructors. SELF

What’s the best way to clean it?
Wipe with mild soap and water, then air-dry completely. For deeper cleans, use a mat-safe cleaner or follow expert care tips from leading yoga publications. Yune YogaYoga Journal
