SV: ashtanga yoga Yoga Mat Question

[Guest guest]

Go for the Manduka mat, it is simply the best. It will last years and it

gets better the more you use it. You will also need a cotton mat to put on

top the sticky mat when things get sweaty. I tried a few cotton mats, find

one that is a little ruff in the garment, the best one I got from

www.theyogashop.co.uk

 

Enjoy your practice

Emne: ashtanga yoga Yoga Mat Question

 

Hi,

 

I recently began practicing Ashtanga yoga and I need a recommendation

for a good mat. I was using one of my wife's mats and because I sweat

so much the mat became very slippery. Does anyone know of a good mat

for people who sweat heavily?

 

I've gotten a couple of recommendations already:

 

The Manduka mat (the black mat from Germany. I'm not sure what this

is made out of or whether it remains sticky when you sweat. It is

quite expensive ranging from $68 to $99 depending on the source.)

 

The Gaiam Quick-Dry high performance mat (this one is advertised with

densely cushioned moisture-wicking microfiber on one side and sticky

mat on reverse so you don't need to use both a mat and a towel. It

sells for $40).

 

Any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Namaste

jeff
