    Ashtanga yoga: Mats that won't get my feet stuck jumping through?

    Ashtanga yoga: Mats that won't get my feet stuck jumping through?


    Mats that won't get my feet stuck jumping through?

    Hi all,

    I'm excited to have found this subredit! I've been doing yoga about 5 years, with some irregular Ashtanga here and there. I've been doing it daily lately, and use blocks to help me jump through. My problem is my Manduka (unsure the model but I think Pro - it was given to me) is not wide, so the blocks keep end up half on half off the mat. So I'm looking at a new mat, one that is wider and longer.

    Ashtanga or not, as long as I can remember, I have found myself off the mat in every direction, so longer and wider would be awesome. (I'm a 5'10" dude).

    The Liforme mats look great, and I don't mind spending more. My concern is...feet getting stuck jumping through! It will be a while before I'm clearing the mat jumping through.

    I may just need to get two mats, one that lets my feet slide through, and another that's super sticky. (This Manduka is so-so sticky.)

    Does anyone have suggestions for a wide, sticky but not too sticky mat or towel combo suggestions? I've seen a few here mention "rugs" which is the first I've heard that - is just referring to a towel? I've got a Yoga Rat mat towel I've used in hot yoga, but it often gets scrunched up and slippery, so I might need a better one if at all.

    Thanks!
