It’s specially designed to sit on top of your mat and absorb your sweat as you flow through the poses, ensuring that your mat remains dry and your hands and feet stay put. Here are three of our favorite towels that will revolutionize your yoga practice.

Manduka is a household name for seasoned yogis—and for good reason. Its products are known to be high-performing and durable, and this yoga towel is no exception. One PureWow editor raves, “I’m just as in love with this towel now as I was the first time I tried it, which was almost four years ago. I never go to class without it. As soon as I feel my hands slipping in downward dog, I roll it out and I’m good to go. Plus, it’s super soft to lay on during Savasana.”
