Keep your yoga mat smelling fresh and clean with this easy homemade recipe. Swap out those harsh chemicals for some natural alternatives. You can customize your spray scents to suit your preference. Tea Tree , Lavender, and Peppermint oils are a great trio to use for home cleaning products. Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial, that fights against mold, athletes foot and ringworm. Lavender oil and Peppermint oil are good for respiration, and stress reduction.

*Avoid making your spray overly soapy, this should be a more water based spray like you're giving your mat a little spritz.
*Cation: If you are using a Circ Yoga Mat, avoid spilling large amounts of solution onto your mat, as this can leave the area wet for a longer period of time, and can result in a watermark stain.

What is your story?
I’ve always enjoyed sports/movement, I tried my first yoga class at 17 and fell in love. I love I feel physically but also how it mentally shaped me. It helps me put things into perspective and humbles me with what truly matters.
How has COVID-19 effected you ?
I think it was initially very tough on my mental health, I’ve been teaching full time for months and to have that taken away from me was not easy, also I enjoy being a student myself and not joining group classes was hard. After trying out the virtual world I was happy with the results, it’s not 100% the same but it’s still a beautiful lesson we’re going through.
What have you done to stay involved and up to date during Quarantine times?
I think social media is a powerful tool when used appropriately, that’s really helped me.
What services are you currently offering, and how can our followers contact you?
I currently teach group Yoga and Animal Flow classes with TFW Bahrain. I also teach privates. All through Zoom. My schedule is posted on my Instagram @Ranya.movement
When will you be going Live with Tru ?
I will be going live on Wednesday June 24th 2020 at 4PM with an Animal Flow class, come check it out. Catch me on instagram live on @truactivebh
What's your favorite Tru Active item and why ?
That’s a tough question. I’d have to say my mosaic leggings.

What is your story?
Originally from Wales, UK. I have spent the last 5 years working in the fitness Industry here in the Middle East (Oman, Bahrain) and a briefly in Rwanda. Sport and Fitness has always been a part of my life; from playing netball, football, rugby, and any other from a young age to studying Sport at University. I naturally gravitated towards a career in Sports Development, working to increase participation in sport at grassroots and elite level. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis which resulted in me being unable to participate in Sport, this had a huge impact on my life, going from being extremely active to not being able to get out of bed unaided. However once my condition was under control I found a love for 'Spin Classes'; it was really the only exercise I could do as it didn't have negative effect on my illness. As my passion grew I decided to become a Vibe Cycle (Indoor Cycling Instructor). This introduction to the fitness industry resulted in me pursuing a new career in Fitness; I have since had the pleasure of operating high end Health Clubs and Facilities. Over the last year and a half I have been teaching Rhythm Cycle classes across a variety of locations in Bahrain. I pride myself on teaching a tough but fun class. Rhythm Cycle is Bahrain's official party on a bike.
How has COVID-19 effected you ?
Even though this is a negative situation I have now taken Bahrains official party on a bike online. With people joining my classes from all over the world
What have you done to stay involved and up to date during Quarantine times?
I have tried to used this time wisely and have invested a lot of time in upskilling myself.

I have also completed further online courses to develop my knowledge in not just fitness but also in Marketing and Social Media.

What is your profession?
Student / Yoga instructor
What is your story?
My yoga journey started when I was around 13/14 and I was primarily self taught. I fell in love with the practice when I saw how beneficial yoga was physically and mentally. As a hormonal teenager, yoga allowed me to escape all the trivial problems I had in my life. In 2018, my mom and I spent a month in Bali for a yoga teacher training course which was a life changing experience. I was 16 when I started teaching classes in Bahrain and it felt amazing to be able to spread my love for the practice with others. I've always been passionate about the health and fitness, so these classes gave me an outlet to share the information I had about the importance of breath, human anatomy, and mindfulness. Teaching yoga has given me so much confidence in public speaking and provided me with holistic knowledge about the human body.
How has COVID-19 effected you ?
COVID-19 has completely flipped my world upside down. So many milestones of my senior year have been taken away which is sad, but the pandemic is a blessings in disguise in some ways...
What have you done to stay involved and up to date during Quarantine times?
Social media (mainly instagram) has allowed me to connect with so many interesting people and has given me a lot of amazing opportunities. The abundance on online fitness classes has given us all the chance to explore different interests and try new things!
