In the first uses, the yoga mat may be somewhat slippery due to the coating it has. Sweat may not help in this first phase in which you use it, but there is a solution so that you stop having this type of problem.

Freya Locklair is a yoga instructor and revealed to the 'website' Well + Good that rubbing the mat with salt is a good technique.

"Salt is a great way to break through the initial layer and the feeling of having a new mat. I recommend doing it at least twice in the first month," she explains.

First, you need to sprinkle the mat with coarse salt. Then, let it act for 24 hours. After that time, rub the salt with a cloth or towel and a little water. Finally, let the mat dry.

"The material will become more porous and able to absorb sweat and create traction," she continues.
