Is the rosin ok to use on the Synergy mat/towel? 60 years old & my hands/feet don't sweat. Lack of hormones. I Spray with water, dries out in hot yoga

Would not use it on a towel. I got it to ditch the towel. It is a bit itchy if you touch your face..just like I remember from being a kid and pitching. Enough so I stopped using it.

I don't know about the Synergy mat/towel. However it might not work well for you since it absorbs the excess sweat from vinyasa yoga so you don't slip. If you have less sweat, then it may not be a go for you. Just my thoughts....

Absolutely not which makes this mat so great! I have sweaty palms and my old mat had me sliding all over the place. A friend told me to try a yoga towel but it didn't work. You can spray a bit of water on the mat to give yourself more of a grip but I've found it unnecessary.

Your question is not so clear -- what do you mean by 'better for your feet sliding in the towel'? Do you mean the <amduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel or just an ordinary towel? However, I can only say this -- the Manduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel has been the BEST towel I have used so far -- it is great for all types of yoga, including hot yoga. The grip is great -- both for hands and feet.

I used a product callled Sugru for the feet. It's a silicone rubber substance that is moldable like clay and then dries to a rubbery solid. I have used it on lots of stuff. Can be obtained on-line. You will find many uses for it. The pads others are using, I assume, are stick-on silicon pads, but they will not stick for long. Especially for someting exposed to moisture all the time. This will solve your problem as it did mine.

Mine did not sweat. I would contact Jarrow and complain. If it came with a dessicant in it, and you chose to remove it, you may have caused the problem. Many supplements nowadays come with a dessicant pod in it, such as many vitamin D gelcaps.

The mat I use is strong and durable. However, for me, it is slippery when wet. I think that using a towel is a great idea. After one year of Yoga once a week, I still perspire a lot. So, I use a headband and a towel. Safety is always first in my mind. There's nothing as unsettling to me, as losing the posture of a warrior 2 due to a slipping foot; and the full knowledge that I can't do splits yet. LOL.

I don't use a towel for ashtanga, just my regular yoga mat. I use this for hot yoga and its great. Much less expensive than yogi toes:)

I use it straight on the bottoms of feet (even my grandchildren). May want to dilute if you have sensitive skin on other areas. You can determine the ratio for dilution 1:1 should work for most. Could dilute more if needed.

Hi there, after hot yoga when your mat is sweaty you will certainly want to unroll it when you get home and let it dry completely. Every 4th or 5th class I rinse it with the hose and let it dry in the sun. I have taken a bucket of diluted basic H to it as well just to keep it fresh. But bottom line, if it's wet with sweat unroll it and let it dry completely.

Hi Liz, The mat does require a breaking in period of a few uses to loosen the jute fibres and provide maximum traction. For hot yoga, we still recommend bringing a towel to wipe up sweat. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me directly through the Amazon message system. Have a wonderful day! Barracuda Team

@Oklahoma Girl ... I had the same problem with my feet feeling really dry afterward, but the instructions said don't use any other products on your feet until the peeling stopped. I think I'll try a daily soak next time I do it, as others have recommended. Nix Nix, you are probably going to want the socks. I live alone, and even I couldn't stand the trail of skin flakes going through my house! It's gross ... wonderfully gross, and so worth it, but not something I wanted to have to clean up!

I have this mat, and i bought two manduka hand towels to use on it (one for me hands and one for my feet). They are the best towels ever! only my hands and feet sweat during yoga, and these towels keep me from slipping. They stick to the mat very well, the hand one hardly moves, the feet ones moves a little bit (but nothing too distracting).

I had the manufacturer replace mine because it of the stains. My new pink mat is better but to prevent any light colored yoga may from staining you must wipe it down on a regular basis. If you're not using manduka's mat wash, which is a spray that you'll get a discount code to order when you receive your mat... Then simply wipe your may down with a simple water and white vinegar home made cleanser. Just put about one tablespoon into every cup of warm water. Use a soft towel to clean. It's really been easy to prevent it from staining as long as your storing your mat properly and keeping it clean- for sanitation purposes it's recommended you clean it after every other use or so.

As a lady going through pre menopause, I sweat a lot!! It's never leaked down my face. Now if I rub my head or run a towel over it, you will find some residue on your hand/towel. But to run? I've never had that happen. I hope this helps :)

If the jute fiber side is on the ground/floor, i think it works great. The regular mat side has plenty of grip. If you are doing yoga with the jute fiber side on-top, then it really doesnt have enough grip for you on that top jute fiber side.I feel like the jute fiber makes the mat a bit more durable, but is only good when that side is at the bottom

I only handwashed them once and then put in baby powder like it said in the instructions. They did not work for me because the only part of my body that sweats is my feet!! Good luck!! I have used Heeltastic and did like that with a golf sock, but I just can't stay on a rigid scedule right now, so just use it every time I get a chance!!

I would think so. I was really surprised at how well it actually worked. I have several mats, always searching for *the one*, and have used it with a couple of them. It worked equally well on each mat I tried. You just dust your hands and kind of pat them together. I'm not sure how it would work on a toweled mat, like the kind that Aurorae offers (my husband has one, but he hasn't used my rosin, as the Aurorae mat is great for non-slip). I think it's worth trying it! It doesn't cost much, and it will go a very long way.
