The practice of yoga is one of the best things you could do for yourself. I love it. And, now that I have a practice, the use of certain props have become mandatory. Props include a mat, towel, bolsters, straps and blocks. I am partial to my Manduka Mat but have discovered certain issues with it- namely slippage or dirt, neither of which is conducive to a yoga practice. Yes, the Manduka mat is a “non slip” mat, but with the heat cranked up and me working extra hard, I slip. And, with the slippage there is the problem that my mat has been used for other things (when I wasn’t home) that included eating bluberries while watching TV. When it’s time for the seated poses, having my sweaty body lie on a dirty mat doesn’t feel all that good.

So, let me introduce you to a wonderful company, called yogitoes. They were kind enough to send me their solution to the slippery mat situation. “The original super absorbent tool that prevents slipping and puts a hygienic layer between you and your mat.”

They have come up with a way to help you stay on your mat throughout your practice. You can use it in a variety of ways depending on your sweat level. If you are one of those who sweat from the first Sun Salutation, then, you are going to want to put your yogitoes down on top of your mat immediately. If you are a non-sweater, you might wait to use your mat till you are doing the seated poses and you don’t feel like having your body stick to a dirty mat. Or, if it takes you a while to get sweaty, you would gradually add it on to your mat and into your practice.

The way I used it was this; I kept it folded in a rectangle just above my mat and at first drip, I mopped up. Then, when my hands start to slip, I would unfold it by 1/3 for just my hands. Then, as the practice got deeper, I’d extend it the length of the mat. It was always fully extended by the time we’d get to seated poses.

Loved it! I loved how nice and clean the towel feels when it’s time to lay down. Love the fact that I can wash it after every class. I absolutely do not slip when I used this SKIDLESS towel. Although, it takes a certain amount of flexibility and skill to lift your foot when going from Down Dog to a Lunge. It took me several classes before I was able to move through vinyasas without causing wrinkling of the towel.

Would I recommend it? YES. For sure. I don’t practice without it now. You can purchase one on yogitoes website or elsewhere on the net for between $40-$65.
