Do you need to bring a separate towel to put over your heels during rabbit pose?

I always bring an extra towel for wiping but never worry about slipping or sliding. The wetter the mat the better the grip. It's very spongy so I rarely need to fold it for my knees or need a blanket for cushion any longer. Mat is thick enough.

Yes and for drying off your face or anything else during class. I use a hand towel.

I suppose you should if you need a towel to help you grip your heels in rabbit.

Yes-small towel. You could use the mat but I think it would be a little bulky. This mat is worth it to bring a little towel. Best mat ever

Wire floors aren't necessarily bad for rabbits. Standing around in their own urine certainly is, it can 'burn' the pads of their feet. The wire flooring allows the urine to 'escape'. A better idea is to provide mats. These can be made of cardboard, woven grass etc. Also it's a good idea to invest in a play pen or something similar and let your rabbit have some time out on the ground & space to hop around.

It sounds like your wife has an extra long mat, which shouldn't be an issue. I roll my mat sized towel with my mat and fit it into the bag, no problem. I will say that you have to roll it pretty well for it to fit seamlessly into the yoga bag. If this sounds like too much of a hassle to do after class, you might consider getting her a garment yoga bag.

Definitely! I use just a little bit of water to wet the towel on my mat before I start my practice. If not you tend to slide just a bit until you start to sweat. Also, don't wash the towel with fabric softener. I seriously love this towel and will be buying another one soon.

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..

It sits on rubber feet, so not necessary unless you are worried about possible scuffs from the rubber feet. I'd probably put it on a thin mat to catch sweat, and protect the floor

No. I have used a sheet or old towel over it. I also have a nice pet/dog vacuum cleaner.

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.

The pressure on the back-top of the heel and the top of the foot is there while hanging, but it is not persistent, nor does it cause any real discomfort. My boyfriend, who is tall, prefers to wear shoes while hanging. I don't normally wear shoes because of convenience. The pads provided on the table are a spongy foam and seem to have held up well after about 10 uses.

I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased. The reason I chose to use a towel is because it helps keep my mat clean, so I do not have to routinely clean my mat. I did solely use the mat in the beginning, and if I recall correctly I did have minor slippage without a towel. I am one who does not mind sweating but I do mind feeling the sweat during a workout. You will not incur this issue if you use a towel. I use a Manduka towel on top of the Manduka mat as it adheres well, and I just throw the towel in the washer afterward. Much easier cleanup, which is something I prefer. Hope this information helps you. I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased.

No, not at all. There is a slight tension in the swinging bars so they don't swing freely. I have had a couple towels on both bars and it was fine. I also have a pretty small bathroom and the size is completely fine. It doesn't get in the way

I occasionally throw a doubled up bath towel over the seat on longer workouts. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with aseat cover.

Sure! I like it horizontally so that the towel drops down, but you can use it vertically.

No, this has never been a problem and I have been using these types of thermal sauna blankets for many years. When using a blanket like this, the person must first be covered by a sheet and/or towels in order to minimize getting the blanket dirty and wet, as well as for the comfort of the person and to absorb all the perspiration that will occur. One should not lay directly upon the surface of this unit.

I practiced without a towel and had an awful time slipping. I now have a Jade yoga mat which provides a much better grip. However, in my hot classes, everyone is required to bring a towel. I purchased a Yogitoes towel through Amazon and it's great. I would assume it would work well on all yoga mats. The Yogitoes towel (and many yoga towels) have small skidless rubber bumps on the side that lays on your mat which holds it in place. With some of the yoga towels (including the Yogitoes) you need to dampen the towel with water first; if you practice on the towel when it is completely dry, you'll slip on the dry towel surface.
