When using this mat for hot yoga do I need to bring a towel too?

Yes we recommend bringing a towel in addition to this mat for hot yoga. Please give the mat a few uses to break it in and loosen the jute fibers to provide maximum traction. Thanks for your interest in our Barracuda Yoga mat! Tasha

Yes, but you won't need it for your mat. This one is great in the heat. I would bring one to wipe down your arms and legs for poses.

No. I don't wipe mine down till the end of practice. I just don't suggest washing it like you would other yoga mats. I use the spray an wipe it down after every practice and it's held up great!

It's not a yoga mat and would slip on the floor. You could use it in place of the blanket or towel you take to yoga.

There are no pockets, I know exactly what you mean. That would be a good idea! But no, the towel just lays on the yoga mat.

I'd invest in a towel mat to lay on top of your mat. Manduka is great, but I slip during class - I get very sweaty - and if I've forgotten my towel, it's not a fun experience.

Water and a paper towel. typically there isn't much build-up on the mat unless you are using something like an Aquafor lotion. Even that just requires a wet paper towel wipe.

Definitely! I use just a little bit of water to wet the towel on my mat before I start my practice. If not you tend to slide just a bit until you start to sweat. Also, don't wash the towel with fabric softener. I seriously love this towel and will be buying another one soon.

It's not a yoga towel. You could use it as a regular towel though. I would bring the hand towel to yoga just for sweat.

Absolutely- its extra-large-mat sized! (Same size as the Aurorae mat.) I have used mine on occasion solo. It folds up slightly smaller than a bath towel. It is microfiber so it is thin, it doesnt provide much cushion, but I have used it and it worked well for a clean exersize surface and for traction/sweat!

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.

Honestly I haven't had to really clean the mat. Usually I lay a towel on top while I am using it.

The mat goes on the floor and the towel goes on top of the mat. I spray the towel lightly with water for better traction.

It might shift too much during yoga. Maybe for outdoor yoga? It's best for a pool/beach towel

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

There are different sizes of towels. The mat towel is Lon enough to cover your entire yoga mat. The smaller towel is perfect for wiping sweat and is a little leger than a kitchen hand towel. I have both sizes and find them equally useful.

No towel, as that creates more slipping. I've begun using the white powder to prevent slipping. This mat is actually very tacky and I really do like it.

I only own the towel. I have never found a need for the gloves. I know that doesn't answer your question but we each have a towel and no gloves.
