Yogitoes - my favorite yoga towel
About a year and a half ago I was working on my down dog, really pushing my hands into the floor and stretching my spine up. The problem was I was taking a lot of Hot Vinyasa Baron Baptiste-style classes, and there was so much sweat on my mat that I just kept slipping out of the pose. My hands would fly forward and I'd end up shortening my stance just so I wouldn't slip. I tried a new sticky mat, a hand towel, a beach towel, nothing worked. Finally my favorite yoga teacher in the world, Paige Elenson, lent me her Yogitoes to try and since then my yoga practice has improved ridiculously. I can't believe it's all because of a towel!
This towel is the size of your yoga mat and has nubs on one side that prevent it from slipping. It works best when you're sweaty, perfect for hot yoga classes. I've used it in Bikram and Hot Flow classes, and I absolutely love it. I've encouraged the yoga studios here in Charleston to carry it, and everyone who's tried it loves it. Anyway, the reason for this post is that Yogitoes recently came out with towels in all the colors of the chakras! I've just ordered my orange one and can't wait until it arrives!
