Gaiam Yoga Mat Towel Microfiber Mat-Sized Yoga Towel for Hot Yoga

I do yoga on my back porch and Florida summers are brutal no matter how early in the morning it is. I was always slipping and sliding on my mat. This towel is the solution! It's soft, comfortable and super absorbent. From the other reviews, yes it does not always stay in place. I expected this might be an issue when I first purchased it but it hasn't bothered me that much. It has made a huge difference in my yoga routine. So glad I bought it! Read more

Great towel. Highly recommend. I didn't know why I had to bring a towel until I went to HOT yoga and my mat became a slip and slide. This stays put pretty well and a nice shade of purple. Fits a traditional size yoga mat perfectly. Washes up good, no lingering stink. Read more

Great grip. Color is soooo nice. Washes up nice. Soft. This towel may be inexpensive but it is not cheap! Read more

I like the towel and the color is perfect, but it does not fit my lulu yoga mat. It's thinner than the mat. Not a huge deal or deal breaker, but I was hoping it would cover the whole mat. It also tends to slip a bit while doing hot yoga and I have to keep straightening it out. I have seen others in my yoga class where they don't have to ever straighten their towels and they stay put. So....I am looking into what brands they are all using to see if I can find one that will stay in place during the workout. I gave 4 stars because it's a good decent towel, just not quite what I wanted. Read more

Holds up well to Hot Yoga/Pilates classes! Washes and dries good too. Read more

I saw the reviews that say it works if you sweat enough but I decided to try it anyway. Believe them! This Gaiam mat towel doesn't grip the mat at all, so wet or dry it moves around a lot when changing poses. I've tried it in Bikram and Vinyasa classes, found it unworkable either way. It moves around too much and slips and slides too much for me to trust in simple poses. I've been loyal to 2 Manduka Yogitoes for 10+ years. Washing 5x/week they still look good as new! We'll worth the investment in my opinion. They grip the mat well no matter what. Sometimes in the less sweaty beginning of practice theres a slight slip factor (my hands can slip a bit in downward dog, the towel doesn't move). This is easily handled with a spritz before practice if you're less stable on your hands, but I'm often not bothered by it. I wouldn't recommend the Gaiam towel though Read more

This towel is perfect for hot yoga—no more slipping around on a sweaty mat. It stays in place during my entire practice and absorbs moisture really well. Super lightweight and easy to toss in the wash after class. Read more

great to travel with, either to use on top of the hotel carpet or on top of loaner mats. It's also great on my own mat. It's easy to wash and hang dry or dry on low. I would highly recommend it if you are into yoga. Read more
