Editorial Review
Yoga towels come in handy in several situations--as a top layer for your yoga mat, as a yoga mat substitute when a mat isn't available, or while performing "hot" yoga. When used with a yoga mat, this microfiber towel from Gaiam keeps you from slipping while adding a hygienic barrier to the floor. However, it also excels as a regular towel, with a super-absorbent construction that mops up sweat during a particularly energizing routine. The same size as a standard Gaiam yoga mat, the towel is fashionable and effective.

Gaiam Thirsty yoga towel 
2008-06-21
I love this yoga towel. It is the perfect size to fit on my yoga mat. It works great when doing hot yoga such as Ashtanga yoga. It aborbs the sweat very well and you don't slip and slide all over your mat. It's also machine washable which is a plus!
It works.

This yoga towel works good. Like other reviewer says, this one doesn't stay still on the yoga mat as well as yogitoes and I have to fix it a couple of more extra times in a session. I hope it would be a little longer so I can tuck into yoga mat to prevent it, but still works well and really light to carry.
Works well and the price is right 2008-01-21
This towel works well - absorbs moisture, fits a yoga mat perfectly, and is well worth the purchase if you slip due to perspiration in a yoga class. Other similar products cost twice as much and I see no reason to pay that much. I would buy this product again.
Not Worth It 
2008-01-08
I have been doing Bikram yoga for about a year now, and needed something longer than a normal bath towel. Instead of buying the expensive yoga towels, I went for Gaiam's, and have not been too impressed. It does absorb much more than a normal towel, but does not stay put on top of the mat in between poses which causes me to constantly fix it, leaving me with little if any resting time. I suggest buying the expensive towels for it's worth the cost in the end.
Better than an old towel... 2007-12-23
Just started Bikram (hot) yoga and was slipping and sliding on my old bath towel, so I decided to give this a try. It fits perfectly to my yoga mat and really does absorb the sweat really well. It bunches up a little when we are moving positions a lot, but overall I feel it was money well spent, especially seeing how much other manufacturers charge. Definitely worth it!
