Product Description
Hot yoga devotees, meet your new favorite prop. Placed on top of a yoga mat, this super absorbent, microfiber towel wicks away moisture and dries in half the time of a cotton towel even after hot yoga classes like Bikram. 24"W x 68"L x 1/8"D (2.5mm). 75% nylon/25% polyester. Machine wash separately in cold water. Tumble dry low. Made in China.

Amazon.com Product Description
Yoga towels come in handy in several situations--as a top layer for your yoga mat, as a yoga mat substitute when a mat isn't available, or while performing "hot" yoga. When used with a yoga mat, this microfiber towel from Gaiam keeps you from slipping while adding a hygienic barrier to the floor. However, it also excels as a regular towel, with a super-absorbent construction that mops up sweat during a particularly energizing routine. The same size as a standard Gaiam yoga mat, the towel is fashionable and effective.

5 out of 5 stars Gaiam Thirsty yoga towel   June 21, 2008

I love this yoga towel. It is the perfect size to fit on my yoga mat. It works great when doing hot yoga such as Ashtanga yoga. It aborbs the sweat very well and you don't slip and slide all over your mat. It's also machine washable which is a plus!

I sweat a lot even in regular yoga classes, plus rental mats skeeve me out, so I got this to absorb sweat and provide a hygenic layer. It works great, not slippery at all, covers the whole mat, and is super absorbent. It bunches up ever so slightly around my feet sometimes, but this really doesn't bother me at all. I just fix it with my toes when I'm in down dog!! I think this towel is a great deal for the price and would totally buy it again.


5 out of 5 stars A great, less expensive yoga towel option   May 18, 2010

This towel is great for Bikram (hot) yoga. It fits perfectly on my Gaiam yoga mat, absorbs sweat well, and isn't bulky when it's folded up in my bag. It was slippery after the first time I washed it, which was a little alarming. But since then I've been washing it without fabric softer and allowing it to air dry, and slipping is now minimal. I have no regrets about purchasing this towel instead of one of the more expensive ones, and have since bought three more!


5 out of 5 stars I have 3 of these towels   June 9, 2010

I am definitely a fan of this towel. I do Bikram yoga 4-5 times per week, and this towel absorbs well, and fits perfectly on my mat. One Thirsty Towel was not cutting it for the frequency of my Bikram Yoga practice, so I bought 2 more. The price is right, and it does the job. I noticed a lot of people were saying this towel slides around on their mat - I do not experience this. Perhaps you aren't sweating enough to make this thing stick to your mat?? :) I sweat like a fire hydrant on full blast, so I am sure that is why my towel doesn't slide around my mat. If you don't sweat much, maybe you would be better off with the more expensive kind with the silicone dots.

Definitely a fan, and will probably buy a 4th!



5 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR BIKRAM   November 29, 2008
Stephanie L. Roth (New York, NY)
I have used yogitoes towels in bikram for a long time but i got this as a gift and it is just as good, possibly more absorbent although moves a little but it works great for bikram, i will never spend the money on YogiToes towels again
