Guest guest Report post Posted August 8, 1999 Richard Freeman, I would guess, advises against wiping away sweat because Patthabi Jois mentions, in Yoga Mala, that one becomes strong and light if one wipes the perspiration into the skin. The opposite can be inferred if one towels off the perspiration. You can take it or leave it. I generally attempt to avoid towelling off during practice. Then again, I have a cotton rug that I put atop my mat which absorbs my sweat and keeps my mat sticky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
