Yes, you can, unfortunately I got it from there :( I only use my own mat and mostly of the time I use a huge tool on it but, well, my doc told me that even if you step on the floor in the gym, barefoot, there are sooo many people letting their foot bacterias and fungus on that floor… and feet are very very sensible cos they sweat and breathe a lot. I was now recommended to use cedar wooden insoles in my shoes afterwards, cos they neutralize the bacteria on the feet and keep them dry. Maybe a good thing for any yoga freak :)
