| Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help with this question. Is there a brand of
yoga mat that is especially "sticky," even with sweaty palms and
feet. I've been using the gym's mats, and I find myself sliding in
the first minutes. I've looked online for mats, but there's a vast
array of them, it seems. Any information you can offer would be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi there,
I recently traded up to an "eko-tex" mat (I bought it from
theyogashop.co.uk). Previously I had been using cheaper mats and this
one feels a lot more robust and I find myself sliding less when
changing position.
Maybe this will be of some help.
Many thanks,
Sean Kelly

| My hands and feet sweat buckets. Partly psychosomatic, whatever that
means.
I can't use sticky mats. At home I use a one of those long wool
running rugs, pretty thick, from costco, with just bare hands and
feet. The slight moisture causes my hands and feet to stick to the
fibers.
At work I put on a decent pair of weight gloves and keep socks on, and
do it right on the bare wood floor, no mat, except for headstand.
