How you can Fix a Slippery Yoga Pad

I bought a mat made in Germany, like yours and my hands slip away anyway. So it‘s not so true. Any Suggestion?

I’m a broke college student with a 15 dollar mat. I bought weight lifting gloves and that keeps my hands from slipping. You can also buy grippy yoga socks

Does this method work during vacuuming the rugs? i want to apply this method in my bathrooms rugs..

mats should NOT cost that much. That is ridiculous, it’s so sad that you’re just making this video to sell a product for your own gain rather than teach us something meaningful.

Lots of arguing in these comments without people understanding, so let me try and explain for him.

Sure it may seem like “buy a better mat” is a non answer. But in this case, it really is. Like he said, the mat is the one tool you need. You can do it on the floor, but that will mess up your hands and feet. So when there’s only one tool, why wouldn’t you get the proper item?

A cork mat is the proper mat you should be using, not only is it flat and soft, it is significantly heavier than rubber or foam which by itself will make it not slip. The rubber on the bottom of the cork is very slip resistant and works flawlessly on any surface. So if you’re working out or stretching, the mat won’t slip and lead to potential injury. I can’t stress enough how important that is.

Unlike foam and runner, cork does not stretch. This way, when you do your stretches, the mat won’t stretch with you, ruining your form.

Cork does not stick to your feet the way foam does. So you don’t get resistance when you move.

Cork is not traditionally cushioned. So you don’t sink when you step on it. Sinking ruins your friction, which significantly hurts the effectiveness of your work our or stretch.

Now for the benefit of the Manflow cork mat, which is indeed $89.99.

It is labeled to help with your form. This not only shows you where your hands and feet should be, it gives you visible flexibility goals.

Subtle branding. If you’re a minimalist like me, this is nice

The build quality is very nice.

If you truly don’t want the one he advertises and uses in his videos, there is a cheaper option from G’s Vegan, which can be found in amazon for $22.99 right now. It’s similar in build quality(a little worse imo, but it’ll get the job done) and lacks the markings. If you’re really not sure about this one, get that as your starter cork mat. But keep in mind that the $90 manflow mat isn’t even the most expensive one out there.

I hope this helps someone reading these comments. It really is a night and day difference in both yoga and home work outs, especially for cardio stuff

Man I must admit that I was skeptical that this was a simple advertising video, but I have to say this what he says is true. I did not buy this specific cork mat but I got one similar ($60) and it makes a huge difference. My feet were sticking to my other mat which moved/pulled the mat up when I was transitioning into the next pose. When sweaty my feet/hands would slide, and probably the biggest problem was the mat actually stretched with my weight in certain positions actually making it harder to get into the correct posture. I know this contradicts the previous one about slipping, but it happened usually at the beginning of a flow before the sweat starts being a factor.

Fast forward to a cork mat and literally every single one of those problems has gone away on top of having certain designs on my particular one which aid in positioning of your feet. Granted this is only after 2 weeks so I have no idea how long cork mats hold up. Anyway I would say assuming this mat lasts for more than a year or two of every day flows, I think it is well worth the money.

Get a can of flex seal and spray it on the back of the rug, No lumps

Umm… Freddy! This was just what I needed ’cause I’m frugal Freddy, I’m frugal! LOL I just bought 12 of these from the Dollar Tree. Call myself making a runner on the cheap and I refused to pay $25-$80+ on one that wasn’t even long enough for what I need. So I bought ’em (I’m Southern ��), get home, take ’em out of the bag, and lay ’em on the floor. I took one step, Freddy, and I almost busted my tail! I immediately went to Amazon and looked for non-slip options…didn’t want to pay that much for more material or tape that may damage my floors and they didn’t have the best reviews. Some of the things I saw I could have gone back to the Dollar Tree to see if they had any, but it’s ‘Rona season and I’ve been to work and the store already…so that’s enough outside for today! So I turned to YouTube and started looking for non-slip rug DIYs and came across your video. �� Definitely going to try this! Now I just need to find my glue gun… ��

I have since learned an read more about the microfibre towels. With continued washing the fibres actually are released into the wash water which later harm life in the water ending up in fish etc. Also I found out that the fibre towels are only slip proof for a while, then after repeated washing they are not slip proof anymore. I already had to discard 3 of them and WILL NOT purchase any more. I have turned to the mysore style 100 % cotton mats and find them amazing. Not only do they feel better but they also look better, like a carpet.I use it in conjuction with the liforme yoga mat which are made of natural rubber.
