I practice hot yoga, and I slip during my practice. What do you recommend?Updated 2 years ago

If practicing hot yoga, we recommend pairing your practice with a full yoga mat towel: yogitoes® Mat Towel or eQua® Mat Towel.

Full mat towels are for when your body sweats and drips from head to toe all over the mat. The towel absorbs the moisture falling from you thus activating the grip where you need it in the hands and feet and more importantly removing any pooling of sweat on the mat, making the class still comfortable as you lie on your mat for all floor based asanas. It’s never comfortable trying to relax in Savasana in pools of sweat. 

The yogitoes® towels have the most absorbency (higher saturation) compared to the eQua® Towel. If you sweat heavily during your hot yoga class and want to ensure absorption for comfort while you want a firm hold to the mat with the silicone nubs and a great grip for your hands and feet, we recommend the yogitoes®. 

The eQua® towels will have a faster and better first grip (when sweat activated).  Once it is saturated with sweat, the grip will lessen, and the towel might start to bunch under the feet when forced.

So if absorption is the priority, yogitoes® towels will support your practice the best; if fast acting grip is the priority, then eQua towels will be best to support your practice.
