I practice various types of yoga, and I slip speficically on my hands and feet part way through a practice when I start building heat. What do you recommend?Updated 2 years 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 will absorb your sweat and provide the missing grip. As everyone is different, this can also happen at your feet, and so with its size you can easily move it around the mat to where you need the grip. For example, you can use it when 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 favourite tool for any yogi as slip can be the biggest physical challenge in yoga. Every class and every person can have a different experience each day, so this simple tool you can keep next to your mat like a block, strap, or water bottle can help make your experience a little more smooth. 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 used for hot yoga. This means the yogi has to be warm and sweating all over to make the mat towel work as yogitoes® and eQua towels are sweat or moisture activated. If you only slip from the hands, the small amount of moisture on your hands will activate a hand towel keeping you in place.
