1. Right technique prevents slipping
For example in downward dog it's important to spread the weight equally to hands and feet to prevent slipping. Also spreading your fingers and toes helps to keep the better balance.
Even the smallest changes in your posture can help with slipping so we recommend you consult your yoga teacher if you encounter a lot of slipping in some specific asana.
2. Keep your core engaged
3. The more you use your mat, the less it will slip
4. Use the right products to clean your mat
Regular cleaning products tent to leave a film on top of surfaces and in this case on your mat. This film can cause slipping.
We recommend using specific products to clean your mat to keep it film-free. Mat wash sprays are easy and quick to use to clean your mat after each practice.
Yoga mat should be washed by wiping it with wet cloth and a specific mat wash spray. Don't put your mat in to washing machine or don't soak it in water for example in shower.
5. Skip lotions and body oils before the practice
6. Use a yoga towel
Especially if you tend to sweat a lot we recommend using a yoga towel. A towel can prevent the slipping by absorbing the sweat. Also a towel will protect your mat from the sweat and make your mat last a lot longer. Towel helps you to keep your practice more hygienic because it's easier to wash the towel after each practice than washing the mat.
