Would this towel work on carpet in place of a yoga mat?

It's very thin, so I think you'd be better off with a mat, as well. Plus, without the cushion of a mat underneath, you might feel the grippy dots on the underside of the towel.

I don't think so.. The carpet still too hard, yet, I would recommend to use a yoga mat..

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.

Fo' Sho. I have a extra long mat and it would hold a full size towel as well.

They work great on carpet for me. If I am traveling light, I will put a bath towel on the floor. However, I did buy one of their travel towels, ,which I also like to use with my YogaPaws too. LOVE THEM!!!

Yes, but you won't need it for your mat. This one is great in the heat. I would bring one to wipe down your arms and legs for poses.

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.

Not sure of that. This mat is primarily good for having to be positioned on knees, or laying down and doing various exercises.Running, jumping jacks, etc may not be a good idea on the mat.

I don't use a towel. The mat is fine until it gets wet with sweat, then it gets very slippery, at least for me. I have been told by a friend that this improves over time with usage, that the mat requires a 'break in' period.

My feet and hands seem to always sweat and slip easily on a regular yoga mat. I got the regular yoga mat size towel and a hand towel. I always use the mat size towel on top of my mat and I do not slip at all. I use the hand towel (because the size is more manageable) for wiping excess sweat from hands and face. I don't do yoga on a mat without my YogaRat!

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.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

I have mine on a folded towel on my dresser, and no problems, don't see any reason it couldn't be on the carpet.

it works better than a towel or standard mat. some sand still gets into my carpet but less than before getting the rug.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

I don't think it will slip. I do not use it on carpet, but have an area rug. That works fine.

If you mean can you put the towel directly on the floor with no yoga mat underneath, then yes you will slip.
