hands and feet sliding on sticky mat

I have a problem with my hands and feet sliding during poses. I have a sticky mat but it has made no difference. Do you have any recommendations?

You may want to try several things:
1. wear socks and use a small hand towel between hands and sticky mat.
2. wash your sticky mat.
3. try a different type of mat.
4. hold the postures for shorter times.

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.

Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
