LIGHTWORKER UV Fitness & Yoga Mat Sanitizer

In the beginning, just a humble inventor John was trying to solve a problem for his wife Laurie. Her yoga mat was stinky, and she couldn’t get it clean enough to stop smelling bad. He discovered that ultraviolet light was the best way to kill bacteria and bacteria was causing the smell. After a few tries John created a way to move the yoga mat between two UV light bulbs, leaving the yoga mat clean and fresh smelling.

10 years later, the founder of Manduka Yoga Mats, Peter Sterios, and the co-founder of Mindbody teamed up with Derek Spurlock, the CEO who purchased the concept from John Burnaby, to create a new delivery system for yoga mat cleaning. The Lightworker UV was born from this amazing pairing of talent.

As yoga studios across the country come to life again after challenges and periods of closure, many of us are returning to our sacred space to practice and restore our inner peace. Some yogis are rolling out their mats again after extended time off with the hope of reconnecting to community, fresh energy and a sense of hope for what is ahead. Some feel deeply committed to their practice as it has been a beacon of solace during the pandemic, while others have hesitations and apprehension about getting back on their mats, though wanting to reconnect to their sacred center.

For most of us, our yoga mats feel like a trusted friend. A grounding and familiar spot where we cycle through all emotions, movements and shifts in our being. We trust our mat to ground us as we change. Yogis invest in their mats, wanting the best technology, performance and dependability from them. So, after a powerful yoga class, we struggle with how to honor our mat for its contribution.

Concerns of germs, grime, sweat and funk have always been here, but the world feels different now. Humans have implemented advanced cleaning in so many areas to create new peace in the middle of a pandemic life. Studios like yours have invested in advanced chemicals, wipes and cleaning methods which require time, effort and too many additional processes. Many students feel comfort in how the studio space is cleaned for them, but then they unroll their own soiled mat and practice again on the same uncleaned material. We know that our mats aren’t clean, we just don’t have a fast and easy solution that allows us to do anything different. Without realizing it we are treating our best friend poorly, right after the spiritual reset we have just experienced with them.
