I have seen this to be true for many practitioners who tend to use a sticky mat.A sticky mat gives you more grip than needed, encouraging you to rely completely on the mat rather than your own strength. It will result in you hanging out on your joints. This is like using a  yoga block for balance, and then putting your entire weight on the block rather than using your strength to lift into the pose.)  Unlike the sticky mat, the cotton mat encourages you to rely on your body (and not the mat) and assist you to  balance strength and flexibility in the right manner.Please write to us at [email protected] to get tips on how to activate your muscles to prevent slipping.

The cotton mats are coated with natural rubber to prevent it sliding on the floor. You can rest assured that the mat will stay very firmly on the ground. What is the mat made of? Our mats are made of natural cotton yarns. They are colored with Azo free dyes and are individually handwoven by artisans in India using manual looms. Do I need to use a sticky mat under the cotton yoga mat? No it is not essential. Using another mat under will defeat the purpose of connection with the ground without an artificial barrier. But if you are practicing outdoors or on dirty surfaces, do feel free to use a protective layer of natural material or an old mat underneath. Can I carry this mat with me to the studios for my classes or is it too heavy? Our thick mats weighs around 2.5 kg and can easily be carried with you to the studio. You can also purchase a carry strap for the mat from our store. Can the thick mat be used outdoors? Yes, the thick mat can be used outdoors and indoors. When using outdoors, do layer it with a protective material/mat underneath to keep it clean. Can I fold the cotton mats? Only keep the cotton mat rolled with the rubber coating on the inside to ensure the mat does not stick and gather dust on the sticky side. How can I store my cotton mats? You can store the mat in a cool place within the house away from  direct sunlight, to prevent fading. Do not  leave your mat in the car as the heat softens the rubber backing, making the mat stick to itself. I love the colurs and the vibrancy of these mats. Can I use them as a decorative mat in the house? Yes indeed. The natural and vibrant colors make them ideal to use around your home.You can use them as decorative corner rugs. You can use these mats in your majlis or low seating areas.They are hypoallergenic, so a great floor mat for your children to sit or play on.
