I Practice Various Types of Yoga and Slip Immediately with Dry Hands. What Do You Recommend?Updated 3 hours ago

If you're slipping as soon as you begin practice, before you've built heat or perspired, we recommend reading our A Guide to Stronger Grip and More Confidence on the Mat.

Immediate slipping can be influenced by a variety of factors, including technique, hand placement, mat care, skincare products, and individual skin characteristics. If you're new to yoga, developing strength, stability, and body awareness through regular practice can also help improve your connection to the mat over time.

For best performance, ensure your mat is clean and free from lotions, oils, or hand creams that may affect grip. If you experience naturally dry hands during practice, Manduka Grip Gel can help enhance traction and improve your connection to the mat.

Understanding the cause of slipping can help you choose the solution that best supports your practice, whether that's refining technique, adjusting mat care, or using a grip-enhancing accessory.
