What Is Manduka Yoga Grip?
A unique evaporating gel that creates a moisture barrier between your skin and your yoga mat.
When you apply our Yoga Grip, a microscopic layer of silica creates a temporary grippy texture that prevents moisture from your skin from reaching the surface of your mat, reducing slip.
Manduka Yoga Grip supports you while you develop your own natural grip through practice.
For use on any closed-cell mat, including Manduka PRO series, eKO series, and Foundation series.
How To Use Manduka Yoga Grip
-
Shake well before use.
-
Pull cap upward to pop open (do not unscrew cap).
-
Squeeze a small drop into the palm of hand. It is recommended to begin with ½ inch or 1-cm diameter.
-
Apply across palm and fingers. Apply to feet if desired.
-
Rub hands together and let dry. It is normal for a powdery white coating (film) to appear where applied. This film can be easily wiped away with a towel; grip effectiveness will still be maintained. It will not harm clothing or yoga equipment and washes off with soap and water.

Close pop-up cap securely for airtight seal.
-
Once hands and/or feet are dry, begin your practice.
-
Re-apply if necessary.
-
To remove, thoroughly wash hands and/or feet with soap and water or hand sanitizer.

What if my cap does not open easily?
- If your cap won’t open easily, it may be clogged with Yoga Grip solution that has dried and created a residue preventing cap from opening easily.

This issue may be resolved by unscrewing the cap, turning cap upside down, and running hot water through cap (hot water with pressure works best). Shaking bottle well before use will also help to prevent this issue.
