Quick answer

Place the towel centered on your Infinity mat, with the grippy side down, and mist it lightly for instant adhesion.

Why pair a towel with an Infinity mat

An Infinity mat already offers a supportive cushioned base and reliable grip, but during hot yoga or vigorous sessions, sweat can reduce traction. Adding a specialized yoga mat towel creates a moisture-wicking layer that actually improves grip as you sweat, keeping your practice stable and safe.

The key is choosing a towel designed to stay put rather than slide. The Yoga Mat Towel – Pink Ribbon, made from ultra-absorbent recycled PET microfiber, is built to sit securely on your mat and become more slip-resistant when wet.

How to pair your towel and mat

  1. Step 1: Lay the towel centered on your mat: Unroll your Infinity mat on a clean, flat floor. Place the yoga mat towel on top, aligning it so the towel covers the area where your hands and feet will be. Most towels are slightly smaller than the mat, so centering is key. Common mistake: letting the towel hang off the edges, which can cause it to catch and shift.
  2. Step 2: Mist the towel lightly with water: Using a spray bottle, lightly mist the top of the towel until it feels damp but not soaked. The microfiber activates its grip when wet, creating suction against the mat surface. Checkpoint: If the towel slides after misting, you may need a bit more water or a towel designed for wet adhesion.
  3. Step 3: Smooth out air bubbles and wrinkles: Starting from the center, use your hands to smooth the towel outward, pressing out any trapped air. This ensures full contact and prevents bunching during practice. Takeaway: For a quick fix, lift the towel's corners and re-lay them while smoothing; avoid pulling the towel taut as it may lift the mat.
  4. Step 4: Test the grip before starting: Place your palms and feet on the towel and apply gentle pressure. The towel should stay put without sliding. If it moves, repeat the misting and smoothing steps. Common mistake: skipping this test and discovering a slip mid-pose, which can break your focus and compromise safety.
  5. Step 5: Wash the towel after each use: To maintain grip and hygiene, machine-wash the towel in cold water with mild detergent and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the microfiber and reduce absorbency. Checkpoint: A clean towel grips better; a dirty one may slide or develop odors.
