A yoga towel does more than you might think! Most often, when you think of a towel, you think about absorbency, especially all you hot yoga (think Bikram) enthusiasts. The ability to wick away moisture (and sweat!) after a especially energizing routine is beneficial, and there are a number of super-aborbent yoga towels manufactured with microfibers that do just that. Plus they dry quicker than cotton towels. Most are colored with organic dyes and can easily be washed and dried safely. A mat-size yoga towel places a hygienic layer between you and your yoga mat.
Absorbency, however, is not all your yoga towel has to offer. Many yoga towels are designed expressly to prevent slipping while you practice your yoga poses. A few yoga towels have “silicone eco nubs” on one side, others have clear rubber dots, still others have a latex-free “gripping” agent. When placed face down, the nubs or dots, or a similar gripping agent, grip your yoga mat (or the floor if you’ve forgotten to buy a yoga mat and there isn’t one available!). The gripping action actually begins as you distribute your weight in a yoga posture. If you want a steadier, more stable practice, a yoga towel is essential.
Yoga towels come in handy as a top layer for your yoga mat, as a yoga mat substitute if you’ve forgotten your mat, or as suggested above, while doing “hot” yoga, such as Bikram. Because most yoga towels are of super-absorbent components, they work better than a regular towel. The same size as a average yoga mat, the towel is somewhat fashionable and very effective.
Most yoga towels come in earth tone shades from tan to deep gray, green, and dusty purple.
