Gaiam Thirsty Yoga Towel
Product Description
This microfibre towel is ideal for yoga when a mat is not available or for “hot” yoga. It is the same size as a standard Gaiam Yoga Mat and is super absorbant.Amazon.com Product Description
Yoga towels come in handy in several situations–as a top layer for your yoga mat, as a yoga mat substitute when a mat isn’t available, or while performing “hot” yoga. When used with a yoga mat, this microfiber towel from Gaiam keeps you from slipping while adding a hygienic barrier to the floor. However, it also excels as a regular towel, with a super-absorbent construction that mops up sweat during a particularly energizing routine. The same size as a standard Gaiam yoga mat, the towel is fashionable and effective.

This towel takes very little space in my Yoga bag and is bigger than my bath towels which this is used for.

I think the non-slip mats would work much better (i bought it to use for “hot yoga” classes). It slips around a little on the mat, but an alright product for the price – the nonslip towels are more than twice as much.

I completely love my yoga towel. It is a great price and it works well. It prevents me from slipping on my mat and it captures moisture well.

I sweat a lot even in regular yoga classes, plus rental mats skeeve me out, so I got this to absorb sweat and provide a hygenic layer. It works great, not slippery at all, covers the whole mat, and is super absorbent. It bunches up ever so slightly around my feet sometimes, but this really doesn’t bother me at all. I just fix it with my toes when I’m in down dog!! I think this towel is a great deal for the price and would totally buy it again.

It’s a good towel. It does move just a little. It’s a good cheap alternative.
