How do I prevent slipping on my yoga mat when my palms get sweaty? When I do "downward facing dog" my palms get clamy & sometimes sweaty. It's hard to relax into the pose when my palms start to slip. I've tried using my partner's mat & get the same problem whereas he does not. I've asked yoga teachers & the only thing they seem to suggest is putting my sticky mat out in the sun or giving it another scrub. But, the mat is adequately sticky otherwise. I've tried sprinkling a little talc powder on my palms & that helps a little temporarily. I wonder if a mat made out of a different, perhaps natural material would work. I saw some on healthandyoga.com made from woven grass or cotton yarn. The yarn mat claims to absorb sweat & the grass looks like it might have better tracton when my palms get sweaty. It doesn't look like it would get slick when moist unlike the standard latex sticky mats. Does anyone have experience with other types of mats or have any advice for me? Any exp. w/ natural rubber mats? I've tried a product called "yoga paws" from Gaiam. It helped the first time that I used it and for once I felt rather firm and stable. It was great! But, after that it seems that I will just start to slip inside the gloves! Arrggg!!! It's not a matter of pushing too much as one user seemed to suggest. My palms are clamy as I start and I can't get very far into it at all before I start to slip. I'm not doing power yoga or anything intense that works up a sweat. It's just that I have palms that sweat easily I guess and naturally have more oils in them, I suppose.
