A love letter to PDX (and your practice)
If you’ve ever snapped a shoe-selfie on PDX’s floor, you know the vibe. The original teal carpet with abstract runway geometry—designed in the late 1980s—became a local icon, spawning merch and countless social posts. After the airport’s massive terminal refresh, the carpet returned in 2024, cementing its pop-culture status. This mat channels that energy to make every home session feel like a smooth takeoff.

How it elevates your flow
From sun salutations to slow, restorative work, the PDX Carpet yoga mat gives you a soft yet stable base. The 6 mm padding helps during kneeling transitions and seated holds; the textured grip supports confident footing in standing sequences and sweaty flows. Prefer added traction for hot yoga? Layer a towel for a machine-washable sweat barrier and longer mat life—an approach many instructors recommend. REI
Care & cleaning (fast + effective)
Day to day, wipe down with a damp cloth and a drop of mild dish soap; let it air-dry completely before rolling and storing out of direct sun. For an occasional deep clean, REI’s expert method is simple: soak in lukewarm water with a little dish soap, lightly scrub, rinse, then air-dry until fully moisture-free. DIYers can mix a 1:4 vinegar or witch hazel to water spray for quick in-between refreshes. Always follow your mat’s care guidance. REI+1

Frequently asked questions
What is PER and why does it matter?
PER (polymer environmental resin) is a durable mat material that’s latex- and phthalate-free, making it a smart choice for people with sensitivities. This PDX Carpet mat uses PER and is printed with UV-cured inks for color longevity. Yune Yoga
Is 6 mm good for balance work?
Yes—6 mm is a comfort-forward thickness that still keeps you connected to the floor for most users. If you crave maximum ground feel, you might prefer thinner; if you value extra cushioning for joints, 6 mm hits a versatile sweet spot. Yune Yoga
How should I clean it after hot yoga?
Wipe immediately post-class and let it air-dry fully. For deeper refreshes, use the bathtub soak + light scrub + full air-dry method, or a 1:4 vinegar/witch-hazel spritz between sessions. REI+1
What’s the story behind the PDX design?
The teal geometry references an air-traffic-controller’s view of PDX runways—a design that became a Portland icon and returned to the airport in 2024 with the new main terminal. WikipediaFlyPDX
