5 Stars all Around!
I rarely give 5 stars but I LOVE this towel. Due to some tendonitis I’ve found my beloved Manduka to be a bit of a chore to lug around. I bought this as both an alternative and add-on for the Manduka. It’s perfect! Absolutely beautiful, I love the purple with green edging. Nice and grippy – I’m loving using it on the floor alone and have had 0 slip issues. It feels so nice and soft. I haven’t sweat on it much yet, but it feels like the absorbency will be great. It was also an easy machine wash with other towels and then I hung to dry. If you’re looking for something like this – this is THE one. You won’t regret it.

Perfect for Hot Pilates
The Gaiam Yoga Towel is fantastic for hot pilates! Its mat-sized design fits perfectly, and the non-slip, moisture-wicking microfiber keeps me dry and comfortable throughout my sessions. The stay-put corner pockets are a game-changer, ensuring the towel stays in place during intense workouts. At 70″ long and 26″ wide, it provides ample coverage. Highly recommend for anyone doing hot yoga or pilates!

Would rate higher if towel did not become so slick
I bought this mat to use in hot yoga classes. It is decent overall, but lacks grip which is very important for me. I like the corner pockets, the towel stays in place on the mat very well. However, this towel is smooth and once it soaks up some sweat it becomes slippery, making it challenging to keep your feet planted as needed for certain postures or sequences. This might be a good towel for someone who does lower intensity styles or doesn’t sweat much, but after using it regularly for a few months straight I have found myself needing a grippier towel.

Great hot yoga towel
Very absorbent and stays on the mat during my yoga practice. Washes up easily. Love the color.

Budget-friendly option
This is a solid quality towel for your mat during hot yoga. It is slightly shorter than my mat, so I only tuck my mat into the little cloth corners in the front. Not a big deal. It says pretty flat, as in, it’s not all bunched up during my sessions, even vigorous ones where I’m moving around a lot. The pile is not plush, like terry. It is very “flat” and smooth, but I don’t slip on it at all. Absorbs well and washes great–I toss it in the dryer and it comes out fine. I would say if you’re starting a hot yoga practice and don’t want to spend top dollar for a mat towel just yet, this is a great choice!

Excellent value
I feel like most of the other reviewersâ complaints might be solved by following the laundering instructions. After the initial wash, I wash it with my yoga clothes on gentle cold cycle after every class. Itâs only been line dried, so I wonder if others have shrunk in the dryer. Had a minimal amount of fuzzies on the first use but not after.This towel is just a little longer than my yoga mat and fits so well with the little corner pockets. The blue is vibrant without being too bright. Of course it shifts ever so slightly during class, but is a huge improvement over a regular beach towel (which is what I used before I got this).It was a great buy for me as I try to build my yoga wardrobe and equipment without breaking the bank!

Absorbent but Messy
Purchased for hot yoga. Stays on mat well with the corner pockets. Issue I have with this towel is the never ending shedding. After 7 washes and hundreds of passes with a lint roller, there is still fibers and fuzz that comes off the towel and sticks all over during workouts. Completely stopped using this towel, is a waste of money.

This my second Gaiam mat. Not sure why it is more expensive that Green, about $10 more.

I was so surprised of how well this worked, that I ordered two more!

Ho vari asciugamani per i tappetini ma questo è il migliore perché avendo gli angoli rimane in posizione senza problemi. Non c’è il bisogno continuo di riaggiustare.

Muy buena, se adapta bien al tapete y ayuda mucho si te sudan mucho las manos o pies

Perfect size for my mat and good price. The towel prevents slipping and the corner pockets keep the towel in place. Bought a second one.
