I'm a yoga teacher and I've had a lot of mats. This one is fantastic. Great grippy surface, and I love the guidelines on it-really helps with alignment of hands and feet. My only worry is that the lighter color may show dirt/wear over time, but I do love the color. I teach 4 to six classes a week plus my own practice so my mats get used alot. The lighter color ones behind to show "tracks" after awhile that just don't come out. But the price is right and not too painful to replace after a couple of years. Don't waste your money on Lululemon or Manduuka... you're only paying for the name. Try this mat instead. Read more
This mat has a pretty smooth surface so I was a bit worried at first. However, it is truly a non-slip mat! There must be microscopic grippers in the surface. No complaints, as it feels fine and doesn’t slip. It does collect dirt, dust, powder, etc so it needs a good shake and/or a wipe down on occasion, especially in and around the focus grooves in the surface. These lines are great for alignment. But be forewarned: if you are slightly OCD it might cause you extra stress trying to align yourself perfectly every time. I think it’s the best mat I’ve ever owned or used. Perfect thickness and good support. Read more
Love this mat so much. It has incredible traction, even while sweating. It is really beautiful and can assist your alignment. Read more
Grip: The grip on this matter is absolutely amazing for hot yoga/Pilates classes. Slip resistance: I tend to have a very sweaty hands, and obviously this gets worse in a hot class. I’ve noticed that with a specific mat, I don’t slip at all, which is amazing. Mat quality: This is my one complaint. After a little less than a month with my mat, I’ve noticed some small cracks. I was able to reach out to Amazon and they were able to fix the issue for me. Otherwise, the mat overall is very thick and seems to be well-made. I think I just got a dud. Comfort: This mat is the perfect amount of thickness which provides a good amount of comfort while also not making me feel unstable during certain exercises. Read more
Very nice mat, non-slip is good. Slightly thinner than I expected, but a solid feeling mat. I'm a sweatball when I do yoga, my old mat got very slippery when wet, this should fix the problem! Read more
Value for money! No slip in my heated classes, to be honest i leave it i my car often and she is staying great! Read more
I've gone through quite a few $20 mats. This one is going to last a long time. It is thick and comfortable. I mainly got it for the grip, and the grip is awesome! So much easier to hold planks and down dogs. I like to do hot yoga. I'm hoping to not slide around due to the humidity. Read more
I do like the feel and grip of this mat, but it stains and smudges easily and does not clean well. Such a disappointment. Read more
