The first thing for you to know is that there are solutions to the traction moisture dilemma that range from free and up.  If you are really down with just making do in all situations with what you’ve got you can grab a bath towel and lay it over your mat so that the towel absorbs the bulk of the sweat.  This keeps the mat dryer and gives you something to mop up yourself and your mat as you melt away.  The next solution is to use an actual yoga mat towel. These are fitted to yoga mats unlike regular towels.  They are thinner and designed to give you traction in all poses.  This is especially great if you already own a yoga mat and don’t need a whole second may to your name.  This solution starts at around $20 for a towel and goes up from there.  The last idea for your Bikram yoga practice is to purchase a Bikram yoga mat.  These mats are not too easy to come by are they are way les popular then regular yoga mats but they are available.

If you go for the Bikram yoga mat option you will see that they are generally three layers.  Each layer has a set purpose.  Absorbent on the top, cushioning in the middle and sticky on the bottom so that your mat stays where you put it.  These mats are really nice compared to regular yoga mats cause you can toss them in the washing machine, or heck you could just hose them down too, if you felt inspired to do so.  But the end result is a nice germ free mat.  Very nice indeed as sweat can be a breeding ground for bacteria.  The average price on these mats is $60-$80.  If you are doing only Bikram Yoga this will work really well.  If you are doing a few different types of yoga then you may want to consider the next option.

There are some variations of a Bikram’s yoga mat.  There are not necessarily said to be specifically for Bikram yoga but will still fully do the trick.  Lululemon makes a Hot Yogi Mat that will work for any hot yoga class.  The benefit to this mat is that it is priced right at $35 compared to other Bikram mats out there.  Another choice that works for some and not for others is a woven cotton mat.  As long as it adheres to the floor okay it will have traction with the moisture as well as give you the cushioning factor. They can be washed all the same like other style of Bikram Yoga mats and they are also a great eco yoga mat option.  Many are made simply from cotton a very eco friendly and renewable resource.  These are considered cool by some and not so cool by others, but there are those out there that love them.  A mat that fits this description pretty well is the Hugger Mugger Tola that you can check out online.

If you are a hot yoga practitioner you will definitely want something that works really well for you.  This may mean a little shopping around and checking things out.  The many priority is that you are safe and comfortable.  You want to make your yoga practice inviting and exciting so that you want to do it.  So be diligent in finding an option that works for you.  With the amazing gift of online shopping and abundance of consumer products you will surely find exactly what you want.
