Yoga slip...
Do you slip on your mat while practicing Yoga? Are you thinking about buying a pair of Yoga socks? Then this article is for you.
Non slip socks for Yoga?
Yes, you can find them in your local sport shop or you can buy them online. Do you need them? Most likely - not. Why? Yoga sticky socks don't work the way one would hope. Thing is that these socks for Yoga don't slip on mat, but your legs slip inside socks. Even worse - your legs will slip more in the socks than they used to without, bare-foot on a Yoga mat. Because there is nothing which holds your legs inside the socks. That is it.
Advantages of socks?
Sure, there are a couple of advantages. First, your legs are warmer. If you practice Yoga outdoors or in a cold room that is a good advantage. In some balancing Yoga asanas non slip Yoga socks may help you to keep your foot where it supposed to be, tree asana (Vrikshasana in Sanskrit) is an example.
Yoga non slip mat.
If you have a possibility, better invest a bit more into good anti slip Yoga mat. After all, if you pay attention - you will see that it is mostly your palms slipping, not your feet. And even for palms - it's more effective to have a good Yoga mat and to use a thirsty yoga towel for your hands and maybe your feet from time to time.
Socks tests.
This is a very simple article. With very clear summary. I got to my conclusion after trying myself for a considerably long time a few different pairs of socks for Yoga. None of them were good enough. I practice and teach Yoga for years. I practice bare-feet always, my students - too, with rare exceptions and mostly to keep feet warmer.
Do you have your own experience? Any comments to share?
