Customer Reviews

bigger and better for non-slip yoga practice
This is the bigger size skidless yoga towel. Good if you want more space like in a crowded class, or if you just need more area because you are bigger in size. Does exactly the same job as the regular skidless: absorbant, non-slip, easy to clean (washer dryer safe), slightly heavier but still light enough to carry around or put in a gym bag. Cons are it is availbe in one color only and is more expensive than the regular size skidless. I have found good price from Amazon for all the skidless towel available but you need to comparison shop all the different sellers as the price can vary over $10.

If you sweat or loose grip, must get this towel!
This yoga towel is the best for Ashtanga and hot yoga. I use it with the Manduka 85" mat & the combination is the best. If you don't break a sweat, then don't bother. If you do, then you cannot live without this towel. Be sure to wash it, the dark towels bleed like crazy. This towel had little nubs on the bottom that make it stick to your mat. It's great. I don't think it's really that pricey considering I use it 3 times a week or more.

I'm a sweaty guy
I sweat a lot during even a moderate paced Vinyasa set, and this is a much better solution than keeping a hand towel nearby and interrupting yourself every few minutes to attempt to dry off the mat when it doesn't even really make it less slippery. I'd almost say that the more sweat you've got, the better this bad boy works.

A few tips, though:
1) Don't dry it with a dryer sheet since it makes it less absorbent and more slippery.
2) I let the towel hang off the front of my mat about a foot to allow about a foot of bare mat down where my feet are in downward dog. Since my feet don't typically get sweaty enough to slip, I find I have a better grip that way.
3) When starting a Yoga set, it helps to get your hands wet to start since the towel seems to be slipperier than a mat when dry.

I later bought the small towel that Yogitoes also makes which I now use even more often since it can just be placed near the top of your mat where your hands go. But, I like either depending on how hot the session gets.

I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewers who use it in Bikram Yoga classes. The Yogitoes Big Skidless Yoga Towel is second to none in this capacity.
