If you're tired of buying and replacing yoga mats, it's time for a yoga towel. If you want to dive into the world of yoga but don't want to spend big on a top-notch mat, it's time for a yoga towel. If you've been wanting to go to more classes but the idea of washing your mat every week deters you, it's time for a yoga towel. Do we need to give you more reasons? 

To help you compare the advantages of using a yoga towel we decided to put together an blog post with some information about it as well as give you some tips on how to take care of yours.

The use of a yoga towel has also grown in popularity due to the fact that they can take some of the slip out of your hands while doing downward facing dog. Many people who are new to yoga do not like the feeling of their hands sliding up and down on their mat or the mat moving because the floor is slippery.

Let's see what all the hype is about...

Absorbs Sweat

Yoga towels are made to absorb moisture (think of them as the ShamWow for yoga). This can help prevent slipping, which is especially important when practicing in a hot room or during an intense workout. They're great for those hot summer days when you're sweating through your downward dog or have just come home from a long walk and want to practice vinyasa flow with some meditation time before bed. They can also be used as a blanket in the winter months when it's cold outside and your mat is too slippery to sit on comfortably.

Stops Slippage

The moisture absorption makes it easier for you to stay in place during your phases without worrying about slipping on your yoga mat and injuring yourself. Yoga towels are great for those who have trouble staying put on their mats during poses like warrior 1 or triangle pose. The non-skid material will keep you from sliding all over the place.

Stops the Spread of Bacteria

The towel keeps sweat from seeping into your mat and causing it to get stinky and gross over time. You'll be able to use your mat longer before having to replace it because of bacteria build-up. Plus - a yoga towel stops the spread of germs and bacterial between people - especially if you're practicing at a studio rather than at home. No more sharing the communal yoga mat 🙅🏽‍♀️

You'd bring a towel to gym to mop up your sweat, so why not do the same for your hot yoga class 🔥 

Protects Your Yoga Mat

Your towel absorbs sweat, which keeps your mat cleaner and longer lasting than if you weren't using one! It also protects against wear and tear caused by repeated use over time as well as damage caused by sweat stains that won’t come out easily with a sponge/washcloth alone (such as after doing hot yoga). Plus, they provide extra padding/cushioning under your knees during forward folds and help protect against chafing during backbends!

No matter why you use one, there's one thing we know for certain: yoga towels are here to stay. They're not just for hot yoga anymore—and that's a good thing! These durable, versatile items will help you keep active and keep your mind clear no matter what the season is or where you plan on practicing.
