Shandali GoSweat Hot Yoga Towel

My hit yoga instructor recommended getting a yoga mat towel for grip and ease of clean. It turns out I CAN do the downward Dog, I just didnt have a good grip before! The towel is very good quality, has a good thickness, and it works amazingly. I haven't experienced any shrinkage and I've washed it many times over the past year. It keeps me and my mat from dry and cool during my hot yoga sessions and its super easy to use.

Bought this for a friend and she has found it perfect for her yoga mat while she is practicing yoga. Washes well also.

Not as grippy as hoped!

This is nothing but a towel...I use this during hot flow on top of a yoga mat and every movement your feet or hands make on this, the towel bunches up and behaves just like a regular towel, sliding this way and that. It doesn't remain flat and I've had to find another towel so that I didn't spend half the time fiddling with the towel trying to rearrange it whilst in poses.

If you are looking for a very absorbent towel to use for sopping up a lot of sweat, look no further. I recently purchased myself an infrared sauna and quickly discovered that I did not care for my previously owned hot yoga towels because I could feel the grippy bumps on the hard wooden bench. (Wasn’t as noticeable at Hotworx on a yoga mat and needed the grip so I didn’t faceplant in downward dog!) I didn’t want thick terrycloth style that pills or leaves lint. I wanted soft smoother material and these are perfect. I got the large to lie on the bench and the small to continuously dry off the rolling sweat. They are super soft and unbelievably absorbent! I love the colors. Started with lavender, just ordered pink and plan to get several more so that I’m only doing laundry once a week.
