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

So great I bought it twice! This towel is perfect for hot yoga. No more slippery hands on my yoga mat!

Yoga towel will be used well

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.

Wonderful quality better then higher name brands I have bought

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

Using this yoga mat towel for hot yoga. It helps reduce sliding.

Much needed for hot Pilates! Love the color and quality.

Very flimsy, does not stay in place and has a chemical smell.
