Yoga Towels
Uses and Benefits of Yoga Towels
Yoga mats hold our feet in place, provide soft support and grip for our hands, and then get rolled up and thrown in the car or piled at the back of the studio when class is over. Over those countless hours of downward dogs and cobra poses followed by quick departures from the studio, yoga mats experience a lot of wear and tear. And, if we’re honest, they don’t get as much cleaning as they probably should.
Fortunately, there’s a way to show your yoga mat appreciation for what it enables your body to do, prevent it from turning into a slip ‘n slide during an intense hot yoga session and keep your studio’s shared mats cleaner.
Using a yoga towel — especially if you enjoy a particularly active practice or you practice Bikram Yoga — can be a game changer. When you use a yoga towel, you improve traction for your feet, keep your mat clean and sanitary and guarantee that you’ll always have a clean surface to use whenever the urge for yoga strikes.
What Is a Yoga Towel?
Many people mistakenly believe that a yoga towel is simply an oversized towel that can easily be substituted with a beach towel or bath towel.
However, a yoga towel is thinner and often softer than a beach or bath towel. They are made from an absorbent, soft material, usually cotton or microfiber, which allows incredible absorbency without becoming heavy or bulky. Yoga towels are designed to be the same size and shape as a yoga mat, so they’re also called yoga mat towels. Because towels are often used on top of mats, yoga towels come in varying sizes to accommodate the different mat sizes on the market.
The biggest difference between a regular towel and a yoga towel is that a yoga towel has a slip-resistant underside that prevents it from moving around once it’s placed on top of a yoga mat. While it is ideally used on top of a yoga mat, these grips make a yoga towel a great substitute if you forget your yoga mat and don’t want to use a shared one at the studio.
Uses of a Yoga Towel
If you’re new to yoga, you may be wondering how to use a yoga towel. One of the great things about a yoga towel is that it has many uses. This makes it an excellent investment for yogis of all skill levels. Whether you prefer a low-key restorative practice or more active flows, there are several uses for yoga towels.
1. Doubles as a Yoga Mat
You can order a yoga towel in the same size and shape as your yoga mat, but a towel folds up to fit inside a gym bag. Rather than carrying around a bulky mat all the time, many dedicated yogis keep a clean towel in their bag to serve as a portable yoga mat, so they always have a surface to practice on when their primary mat isn’t nearby. This is also a great option for forgetful yogis who tend to run out of the house and leave their yoga mat behind.
However, if you’re trying to decide between a yoga towel or a yoga mat, you should consider several factors. First, think about where you’re doing yoga. If you’re practicing yoga at the beach, you may find a yoga towel suffices on the sand. Even practicing at home on a rug, a towel could be comfortable enough to get by.
That might not be true if you’re doing yoga in a studio with hardwood floors. A towel likely won’t be able to provide the cushioning you need to practice comfortably, especially for positions that require you to balance on your knees or elbows.
Yoga towels’ chief purpose is to wick away sweat, so they’re generally not luxuriously thick or cushiony. They may be adequate if you’re outdoors on a soft service, like grass or sand, but using only a yoga towel when practicing on a hard surface could be painful.
Ultimately, yoga towels are most effective as a complement to your yoga mat.
2. Covers the Mat
While a yoga towel can certainly serve as a stand-in for a yoga mat, it’s even better when it’s used to cover your mat. When you spread the yoga towel out on your mat, it absorbs the sweat you produce while you go through your practice. For those doing Bikram or hot yoga, you can lose anywhere from one to three pounds of water weight during your practice. All that water needs somewhere to go. And, as we’ll discuss later on, a yoga towel can extend the life of your mat by protecting it from the wear and tear of frequent yoga.
3. Keeps Things Sanitary
Since yoga has become more popular in the United States, there’s been a significant rise in the occurrence of athlete’s foot and plantar warts, especially in women. Why? Because they’re sharing unclean communal yoga mats. Providing towels at your studio is a great way to keep your shared mats cleaner and prevent yogis from picking up the bacteria or viruses the previous yogi may have left behind.
Even if you use your own mat 100 percent of the time, you probably don’t clean it as often as you should. Additionally, if you’ve used your yoga mat while you’re sick or have any kind of skin infection, your mat may collect your germs and save them for you. When you cover your mat with a towel, you actually keep things more sanitary because you’re more likely to throw the towel into the laundry and clean it before your next class than you are to sit down and clean your yoga mat.
4. Prevents Slipping
There’s nothing worse than going into downward dog and having your feet slide too far behind you. This can be a problem if your yoga mat doesn’t have enough grip or if you’ve been sweating a lot during your practice. Using a yoga towel can provide you with a better grip during your poses, which helps you get the most out of each one. When you aren’t worried about sliding around, you can spend more time concentrating on your breathing, resulting in an all-around better practice.
Some yogis mistakenly believe that a bath towel or beach towel is an adequate substitute. This isn’t true. Yoga towels are specially designed with grips on the bottom of the towel that hold it in place during your practice. A regular towel doesn’t have these grips, so it can’t provide the stability to keep you in place during the most intense of poses. Using a regular towel during yoga practice may actually make you slip more.
5. Serves as a Workout Towel
You may be wondering whether it’s worth the money to buy a special towel just for your yoga practice. After all, will you really use it that much? We’re confident that the answer is yes, but even if you don’t use it for your daily asanas, a yoga towel can benefit you during other activities. Use it anywhere in a gym, at the pool or on the beach as an effective, lightweight way to keep yourself dry.
Benefits of Yoga Towels
Yoga towels have many benefits — especially if you practice yoga regularly. Including a yoga towel — and not just a regular bath towel — into your routine can improve your practice and protect your body. And aren’t those both benefits of a healthy yoga practice anyway?
1. Portable
A yoga towel is easy to roll up and stick in your bag, which means it’s easy to carry around. It’s not heavy, and it’s not going to take up a lot of space. While they’re portable enough for anyone to store a towel or two in their gym bag, it’s also easy for studio owners to keep bulk yoga towels on hand because they can be easily stacked and stored between uses.
2. Protects Your Yoga Mat
Yoga mats can be expensive, and over time, the friction they experience from hours of yoga poses can wear out even the priciest mats. No one wants to spend money replacing their yoga mat frequently. When you regularly use a towel to cover your mat, you extend its life span by placing an extra barrier between its surface and your body.
Beach or bath towels are unlikely to be as long and wide as the yoga mat, meaning you may end up with your hands or feet on the mat instead of on the towel. This might not be a big deal to some, but if you’re using a towel to absorb sweat — and keep it off the mat — an ill-fitting towel may end up being counterproductive.
Alternately, a beach or bath towel might be too big for your yoga mat, which means you may end up draping it over the floor around your mat and picking up debris or bacteria you don’t want included in your practice.
3. Very Absorbent
A towel, by definition, should be absorbent, but towels for yoga are more absorbent than a standard towel. Yoga towels feature materials that are more durable than regular cotton, and they’re made with a highly absorbent design that helps them draw in water and wick it away. This characteristic can be especially beneficial if you do hot yoga.
Yoga towels wick sweat away, absorbing moisture and drying quickly, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with a damp or soggy towel. For many hot yoga practitioners, using a regular bath or beach towel won’t be effective since the towel will collect moisture without dispersing it. That will leave you with a soggy towel on your mat — and the excessive moisture will make it lose its grip. Once the towel reaches its maximum capacity, it will cease to absorb more sweat.
4. Anti-Slip
There’s nothing worse than going into downward dog and having your feet slide too far behind you. This can be a problem if your yoga mat doesn’t have enough grip or if you’ve been sweating a lot during your practice. Using a yoga towel can give you a better grip during your poses, which helps you get the most out of each one. When you aren’t worried about sliding around, you can concentrate more on your breathing and balance, resulting in an all-around better practice.
Yoga towels are designed to prevent slipping by absorbing your sweat and keeping it away from your mat. A regular cotton towel doesn’t have the uniquely grippy texture of a yoga towel and won’t stick to the mat even when dry, so it’ll be sliding around and distracting you. Whether the yoga towel is laid out underneath you or kept nearby to wipe sweat from your face and hands, you’ll minimize the risk of slipping by having it handy during your practice.
5. Easy to Clean
Since yoga has become more popular in the United States, there’s been a significant rise in athlete’s foot and plantar warts, especially among women. Why? Because they’re sharing unclean communal yoga mats. Providing towels at your studio is a great way to keep your shared mats cleaner and prevent yogis from picking up the bacteria or viruses the previous user may have left behind.
Even if you use your own mat 100% of the time, you probably don’t clean it as often as you should. Additionally, if you use your yoga mat while sick or suffering any kind of skin infection, your mat may collect your germs and save them for you.
Using a towel over your yoga mat protects it from sweat and germs, collecting all of those things that would otherwise be left on the mat. More than that, it’s much easier — and quicker — to wash a towel. Yoga towels can be thrown into the laundry just like any other towel, making cleaning infinitely simpler. Yoga towels’ microfiber material is straightforward to wash and maintain, often needing only a wash with cold water and no fabric softener. You can dry them in your dryer on low heat or hang them up to air-dry on a clothesline since microfiber dries much faster than cotton.
While you’ll still want to clean your yoga mat periodically, using a towel will keep it more hygienic between cleanings.
Why Use Yoga Towels?
Yoga towels can significantly contribute to your practice by absorbing sweat and keeping your feet firmly in place on the mat. When you aren’t worried about slipping or falling out of a pose, you can enjoy a better, more restorative practice.
Yoga towels also protect you from unwanted germs or infections that might be spread through communal mats. Everyone forgets their mats occasionally, but if you have a towel to use when this happens, then you won’t have to worry about who was on the mat before you.
Of course, we recommend yoga towels for yogis of all skill levels, but if you aren’t convinced, then stop and ask yourself these three questions:
- Do I want my mat to last longer?
- Do I frequently use communal mats at the studio?
- Do I sweat a lot during my practice?
If the answer to these questions is “yes,” then a yoga towel is just what you need!
Yoga towels are available in full-size options, as well as hand towels. A full-sized towel will cover your entire mat, while a smaller one is perfect for wiping sweat off your forehead or hands. Mat-size yoga towels tend to offer greater benefits, but yogis who enjoy a less active practice may prefer a convenient hand towel made from the same absorbent materials. If you aren’t sure how much you’ll use a full-sized towel, a hand towel may be a good place to start.
