Yogitoes Skidless Hand Towels are made for all types of people practicing yoga. Creates a non-slip surface for a steadier and safer workout. When combined with a sticky mat, creates an even stronger non-slip surface. There is a special absorbent layer on the mat lets you use it without spraying water for traction and security. When used in reverse, that towel stimulates pressure points on your hands and feet. Practicing yoga with this towel will increase your awareness and balance between your hands and feet. Can be used with twisting asanas for extra grip, arm balancing, for spinning with stationary equipment, pilates equipment, or for working out!
I always got frustrated that my hands started slipping in my downward dog position but I didn't want gloves and I didn't think a towel would work. This towel is the best price I've seen, it's compact (fits nicely in my mat bag) and actually works. I use it at the front of my mat with the nubby side up. My fellow yogi says it hurts her hands so she puts smooth side up, but I like the extra grip.
