Mat mists rock for spraying your yoga mat pre-practice, but can also be a great way to seal your practice before your final relaxation. You can also use it to help you set the intention before you meditate, and also to assist in opening your chakras.
When you aren’t in yogi mode, use your mists around the house to pep yourself up at your desk, and to generally improve your mood.
