I practice various types of yoga, and I slip on my PRO™ mat, specifically at my hands and feet - what do you recommend?Updated a year ago

We recommend to pair your practice with an eQua® Hand Towel.

When you feel slip begin to happen, placing a yoga hand towel on the mat under your hands or your feet will absorb your sweat and provide the missing grip. Its size makes it easy to move around the mat to where you need the grip- for example moving it from the back of your mat for down dog to the front of your mat for use in warrior poses under your front foot.

The towel provides a barrier for sweat absorption and will add traction to sweaty palms or feet. It’s our favorite tool for any yogi!  Every person can have a different experience every class and every day, so this simple tool can help make your practice a little more smooth.  It can be kept next to your mat like a block, strap, or water bottle.  The eQua® yoga hand towel is the perfect accessory to any yoga mat.

Why only a hand towel and not a full yoga mat towel? A full mat towel is best for hot yoga. This means the yogi has to be warm and sweating all over for the mat towel to work properly, as yogitoes® and eQua towels are sweat or moisture activated. If you only slip at your hands and feet, then the small amount of moisture on your hands will activate a hand towel keeping you in place.
