Manduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel

The eQua towel is designed to lay flat over your mat. Because it is moisture-activated, it provides the best grip once you start sweating, which helps keep it anchored to your mat and prevents sliding during transitions.

Yes, but keep in mind that the grip technology relies on moisture. If you are doing a restorative or low-sweat practice, you might find the surface a bit slippery unless you lightly mist the towel with water before you begin.

It is machine washable, which makes maintenance simple. To preserve the microfiber's performance, wash it in cold water with like colors and avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as these can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.

No, this is a thin, high-performance towel designed to be a hygienic layer on top of your existing mat. It will not add significant padding, so it is best used to enhance grip and absorb sweat rather than to soften a hard floor.

At 71 inches by 24 inches, it is sized to fit most standard yoga mats perfectly. If you use an extra-long or extra-wide mat, you may find that this towel leaves some of the mat surface exposed.
