I Practice Various Types of Yoga and Start Slipping on My Hands and Feet as I Build Heat. What Do You Recommend?Updated 3 hours ago

We recommend pairing your practice with an Equa Hot Yoga Mat Towel.

When you begin to notice slipping, placing a hand towel on the mat under your hands or feet can help absorb moisture and provide additional traction exactly where you need it. Because the towel is compact and easy to move, you can reposition it throughout your practice, whether that's under your hands in Downward Dog or under your front foot in standing poses such as Warrior.

The Equa Yoga Hand Towel creates a barrier between perspiration and the mat, helping absorb moisture and improve grip as heat begins to build. Many practitioners find it to be one of the simplest and most effective tools for managing occasional slipping during practice.

Why a hand towel instead of a full mat towel?

Full-length mat towels are typically best suited for hot yoga or practices where perspiration covers the entire mat. Both Equa and Yogitoes towels are moisture-activated, meaning they perform best once sweat is present. If slipping is limited to your hands and feet, a hand towel provides targeted grip exactly where it's needed without covering the entire mat.

Because every practice and every practitioner is different, a hand towel can be a simple, versatile accessory to keep nearby, much like a block, strap, or water bottle, ready whenever you need a little extra traction.
