You know it's so funny I do have a yoga matt towel but I sopped using it when I saw that no one else was using one in the studio, I felt a bit silly. But what is actually silly is that I worried about what people thought of me lol. Now of course I haven't been to a yoga class since the pandemic hit...

Ha! Well when you go back to the studio, it's time to bring it out of storage! ;) I think it depends what style of yoga you practice - it's a common sight in most hot or ashtanga yoga studios... but a lot less common in Iyengar or Hatha studios since one gets a lot less sweaty with less vigorous yoga styles...

They need to make a new towel for sweaty people in hot yoga, it survives the first hour fifteen, but is completely soaked through during the lying down poses so I'm slipping thereafter. (still better than other yoga mats half its price, but they need to upgrade)

Actually - I didn’t review it here but I think they also have a thicker/ denser hand and mat towel specifically for hot yoga. I think it’s in the eQua towel line-up so you might want to check it out. On their EU site, there’s only the eQua hot hand towel left. Hope this helps!

So which yoga mat towel is better from manduka, the yogitoes or the eQua ?
@jaimetan
5 ай бұрын
They’re different. Yogitoes has the silicone nubs on one side so they grip to the mat below. The material is more like thin terry too. Whereas the equa is smooth on both sides and material has a more silky finish, kinda like suede/velvet. It’s personal preference at the end of the day. I have both but prefer the equa more for how soft it feels. To get it more grippy, spray water on it.

This was useful thanks. I have a manduka mat and towel and I’ve used the towel once (yesterday). I found it hard to keep flat and during practice it creases and/or bunches up. This is a distraction and affects technique. Is there something I’m missing??
@jaimetan
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! I think it depends on what you’re doing when it bunches/ creases… whenever mine has bunched or creased it’s coz I’ve been dragging my foot/ feet over it, so I usually need to engage more core to lift the foot/ leg higher (eg. Stepping forward from down dog to any of the warrior poses). It also helps when I spray it down with water (which makes it more grippy too). If none of the above works, then maybe you’d prefer something like the Yogitoes towel which has the silicone nubs at the bottom, ensuring they grip the towel in place. I personally don’t like the feel of the yogitoes as I can feel the silicone nubs underneath and I find that distracting (but most people who love their yogitoes don’t notice this)… so it’s all very personal in terms of what you prefer in texture!

Hi Jaime tan! :) What are your thoughts on the yogitoes from manduka? Would you recommend the one you talk about in the video over that one?
@jaimetan
3 жыл бұрын
Hi there! It’s a good towel too, but it’s all down to personal preference. I find it a little “rough” like a regular bath towel so jumping back and jumping through (like in ashtanga or vinyasa) is not as smooth as with the eQua (I’m splitting hairs here, really!). But if you’re not sliding back and forth a lot on your mat this may not matter to you. I LOVE the silky feeling of the eQua - it’s like suede. But I know others who don’t like it because of its silkiness - you need to spray it with water to make it grippy then. I personally am not such a fan of the nubs under the yogitoes, as I feel them in standing poses and I don’t like that feeling. But like I said - it’s personal preference and splitting hairs... best is if you can find a physical store to feel both and see which you prefer! 👍

@jaimetan

Throw it in the washing machine and wash with everything else! I remember reading somewhere that it’s probably better without laundry softener as that might make it more slippery, but I use softener anyway… I only ever use my mat towel towards the end of a session, when I’m dripping wet. The moisture increases grip.

Hey Jaime, what about yogitoes? Are they worth it?
@jaimetan
3 жыл бұрын
Heya! They're good too - those silicone nubs at the bottom ensure they stick to your mat. But the texture is more like a thin terry-cloth towel. It's personal preference, but I much prefer the velvety-smooth surface of the eQua - it really helps slide through in jumpbacks/ jump-throughs without the rug burn (if you're into ashtanga/ vinyasa). But I do know some people who don't like this velvety-ness of it as it's not grippy unless you spray it with water. Sooo... it's really personal preference! (Also with yogitoes, I could feel the nubs under my feet in standing poses and I didn't like that feeling - but maybe I'm just more sensitive and it's not an issue for others). Hope this helps!
