subject: Sweaty Hands and Feet? A Non-Slip Yoga Mat Is the Answer [print this page] Sweaty Hands and Feet? A Non-Slip Yoga Mat Is the Answer
When your hands and feet get sweaty, it's common to slide around on your yoga mat, especially if you are using a standard sticky mat.
There are many mats on the market now that can help keep you from slipping and sliding.
These non-slip yoga mats are more expensive, but can make your yoga experience much more enjoyable.
This is especially true if you have regular yoga practice, and your yoga mat will not end up in the back of the closet.
These upscale yoga mats rely on superior materials and textures that grip to prevent sliding, slipping, and skidding.
Here are the leading non-slip yoga mats currently available:
The Manduka BlackMatPRO has been the most popular premium yoga mat for years, and one reason is because you don't slide on the mat even when it's wet with sweat. It is also one of the most expensive mats on the market, but fans say the extra cost is worth it. Though heavy, the dense materials used in contruction of the mat are very supportive, even in standing balancing yoga poses. Better yet, this mat always stays in place, even if you're on a carpeted floor.
Hugger Mugger Tapas Performance Yoga Mat: This black Hugger Mugger yoga mat used to be called the Mandara, and is much like the Manduka BlackMatPRO. This mat is much cheaper in cost, however.
The Manduka PROlite Yoga Mat has the same non-slip surface as the more expensive BlackMatPRO, but is much lighter. Because of its closed-cell construction, it is also easy to clean. This makes it a great mat for everyday yoga practice, whether you like hot yoga, vinyasa, Bikram, Ashtanga, or any other yoga style.
The Jade Yoga Fusion yoga mat is a thick yoga mat made of open cell natural rubber. The rubber and the texture of the open cells give this mat excellent non-slip qualities. If you ever have sore joints from practicing yoga, the thickness of this mat will appeal to you.
The Jade Yoga Harmony yoga mat 1/8-inch thinner than the Fusion, otherwise they're the same. Because of its grip, size, and reasonable price, the Jade Harmony is one of the top rated yoga mats ever made.
I hope this non-slip yoga mats review will help you find the right yoga mat to buy so you can stop sliding in your yoga classes.
