Teaching Yoga Is Not the Same as Practicing It

Your students flow through one class. You flow through four, five, six classes a day. Demonstrating every Chaturanga, every arm balance, every hip opener. Holding assists that load your wrists and shoulders. Kneeling on hard floors to adjust alignment.

The cumulative strain shows up in predictable places. Wrists from weight-bearing transitions. Shoulders from repeated demonstrations. Hips from deep opening sequences you have moved through thousands of times. Lower back from the forward folds and twists that make up every class you teach. For a full walkthrough of a yoga instructor injury recovery protocol, see how working teachers rehab without stepping off the mat.

And when a student mentions they are sore after class, the best advice you have is "drink water and rest." You care about what they put on and in their bodies, but most recovery products either do not meet your standards or do not actually work.

Neck and shoulder tension relief

For You. And for Your Students.

Your Own Recovery

Apply CALM to wrists, shoulders, and hips between classes. Two minutes, fully absorbed, no residue on your mat or clothes. Magnesium delivered through the skin to the muscles that carry your teaching load. Fits in the gap between back-to-back classes.

For Your Students

Premium enough to recommend, effective enough to re-order. When students ask what to do about post-class soreness, give them something specific. Clean ingredients, no synthetic fillers, no greasy texture. A product that aligns with how your community thinks about what goes on their bodies.


Two Products. Clean and Effective.

1

Use It Yourself

Apply CALM to wrists, shoulders, and hips before or after teaching. Your own experience is the most authentic recommendation you can give.

3

Studio Retail

Display CALM alongside your other studio products. The packaging is minimal and premium, designed to look right in spaces that care about aesthetics. Professional pricing makes margins work.

4

Workshop and Retreat Add-On

Include CALM in workshop kits or retreat gift bags. A recovery product that fits the values of the experience you are creating.


From Yoga Instructors

"I teach Vinyasa six days a week. My wrists were my limit. I started applying CALM between morning and evening classes and the difference was noticeable within the first week." -- Yoga Instructor, RYT-500, Santa Monica
"I am careful about what I recommend to my students. CALM checks every box, clean ingredients, no greasy feel, and it actually works. Three of my regulars now keep a tube at home." -- Studio Owner and Lead Instructor, Austin
"I put CALM in our retreat gift bags. Every single participant asked where to buy more. That never happened with the essential oils and bath salts we used to include." -- Yoga Instructor and Retreat Leader, Ojai

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients are in CALM?

CALM is formulated with magnesium chloride as the active ingredient, in a skincare-grade base. No synthetic fragrances, no parabens, no unnecessary fillers. Cruelty-free. For a full breakdown of how topical magnesium works, see our magnesium guide.

Will it affect my grip on the mat?

No. CALM absorbs fully in under two minutes with no greasy residue. Apply between classes, your hands will be completely dry before you step onto your mat.

Can I stock CALM in my studio?

Yes. Our Professional Access program offers wholesale pricing for yoga instructors and studio owners. The packaging fits naturally alongside premium retail products in your studio.

How is CALM different from magnesium oil?

Magnesium oils are typically sticky, leave residue, and have an unpleasant texture. CALM is a skincare-formulated cream, lightweight, fast-absorbing, and pleasant to apply. Same mineral, completely different experience.

What is the wholesale pricing?

Professional pricing depends on volume and studio size. Apply through our Pro Access page and our team will provide a custom quote within 24 hours.

When would I recommend RX Pain Gel to a student?

CALM covers daily tension and recovery. If a student mentions persistent pain that limits their practice, chronic shoulder issues, ongoing hip pain, RX Pain Gel is the next step. It requires a prescription through our platform, so you are recommending, not prescribing.

Is Ketro cruelty-free?

Yes. Ketro products are cruelty-free and not tested on animals.

Can I include CALM in retreat or workshop kits?

Yes. Professional Access members can order at wholesale for events, retreats, and workshops. Contact proaccess@ketroskin.com for bulk event pricing.
