Yoga Sticky Mats

Yoga sticky mats were designed to keep your feet from slipping on the yoga mat while doing yoga poses, and they keep the mat from slipping on the floor. A sticky yoga mat will help you to feel more stable and give you more support as you balance and try to hold standing poses, and they will also provide a bit of cushion for your body when you are performing poses where you are down on the mat.

Sticky yoga mats also have a smooth surface and a cushiony feel. They have a woven internal layer that helps to resist tearing; they are washable and come in lots of colors including sticky black yoga mats.

The Tapas sticky yoga mat comes in olive green, lapis blue, purple, pink, and emerald. It is 1/8" tick and measures 24" x 68." Sticky yoga mats have two sides. The side with the larger bumps is designed to cushion your body, while the smaller bumps face down to grip the floor and keep the mat from sliding while you are trying to hold your balance in a tricky pose.

Tapas sticky mats will get softer and stickier with use. If after you have used your mat for awhile you find that the stickiness has decreased, the mat may have built up a layer of sweat and dust. If you wipe it down and let it dry you will find the stickiness restored the next time you use it.

Some students, when they use the Tapas sticky yoga mat green to perform poses where they are up on their knees they might find that if they fold up the end of the mat so that the thickness is doubled, it will feel better on their knees.
