The yoga towel, a non-slip plus
The yoga towel is very useful! Thin and light , you will have no trouble taking it with you, especially when you travel. Used in the practice of yoga for its non-slip qualities, it generally measures 172 cm in length and 60 cm in width.
What is the yoga towel used for?
The yoga mat towel has three main functions:
- It is an anti-slip for people who sweat from their hands during their yoga practice,
- It can be folded to serve as a knee cushion ,
- It helps keep your carpet clean .
It is essential that you do not slip on your mat, firstly to avoid injury, but also to hold your asana, in order to get all the benefits. Therefore, if you sweat, take a yoga towel with you.
This yoga towel is not a yoga accessory as such. What I mean by that is that it will not help you perform postures and it is not there to correct your position. However, this object will be especially useful to you so as not to slip on your mat if your hands sweat.
How to take care of your yoga towel?
Yoga towels have the advantage as a yoga accessory of being very easy to wash. A spin in the machine and it will come out all clean! You should still look carefully at the manufacturer's advice before washing.
