The Earthtowel -Premium Non-slip Turkish Cotton Yoga Towel

Kinshē Yoga re-imagines the yoga towel with The Earthtowel. Imported from Istanbul, the Earthtowel -Premium Non-slip Turkish Cotton Yoga Towel is strong enough to be used in physically demanding hot yoga classes -yet lightweight and soft enough to be used as a cozy wrap during meditation and Savassana. 

“I love my Kinshē Earthtowels! (yes plural). I use my garnet yoga towel for Bikram and keep my blue one in the car for the beach, festivals or whenever I need a little coziness.

“I'm obsessed. I haven't been this fond of a towel since my blankie :)

ALL-NATURAL & NON-TOXIC

The Earthtowel -Premium Non-slip Turkish Cotton Yoga Towel

Have you noticed that many yoga towels use plastic blends of microfiber, polyester and silicon?  At Kinshe Yoga we asked; why would someone practice yoga on fabrics that they would never wear?

Employing the principals of "Slow Yoga" we set about re-imagining the yoga towel as the Earthtowel.. We tried dozens of fabrics ranging from up-cycled industrial cotton/ nylon blends to Bamboo. We even discovered a new fabric made from shredded plastic bottles, -but the plastic didn't feel right against our bodies..

When we came across sustainable Turkish cotton imported from Istanbul -we knew we had finally had the right material for the Earthtowel.

WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN 

The Earthtowel -Premium Non-slip Turkish Cotton Yoga Towel

Finding premium Turkish cotton was only half the journey to the Earthtowel. We learned that the fabric quality of Turkish Cotton varied; and the best Turkish cotton used a traditional “peshtemal” weave that dates back more than 600 years! This ancient technology creates a fabric that is non-slip, absorbent, strong, lightweight and soft -as if the weavers from centuries ago, anticipated the needs of of modern day yogis

HOW TO USE THE EARTHTOWEL

The Earthtowel -Premium Non-slip Turkish Cotton Yoga Towel

The Earthtowel’s traction is moisture activated. Like all natural-fiber yoga towels; it’s the process of water passing through the fabric that clings the towel to the mat. In hot yoga, the body’s own perspiration activates the grip. In cooler classes you spritz with water where hands and feet touch. We also made the Earthtowel over-sized —as the corners are meant to be tucked under the corners of the mat for added

stability.
