Gaiam Yoga Mat Performance TPE Exercise Fitness Mat for All Types of Yoga Pilates Floor Exercises

I love this yoga mat. I actually have owned it before, but accidentally left it in the car during a very hot day and the surface bubbled. I tried two other mats between my first purchase of this one, and then repurchasing it, but they couldn't even compare. This mat is excellent at nonslip during yoga. I get sweaty palms and feet during exercise, and sometimes the yoga classroom gets very warm, but this mat keeps me anchored in place without having to wear any special socks or hand grips. Great for balance. This mat has nice cushioning and thickness. My knees never hurt when I need to do kneeling activities. I cannot feel the floor, but it's not so thick that I feel unstable either. I never need extra padding. (In my late 30s). I have witnessed others with the same mat who are older, and they also never use additional padding. This mat is comfortable. This mat is absorbent but dries quickly. I've never had wet patches from sweat that last more than a minute. Always dry, never slippery. Good size. Anyone in the 5-5'10 foot range should be comfortable on this mat. (I am 5'4). Only thing I wish it had design -wise is a strap to hold it closed and for carrying. Otherwise, perfection. Would buy this again in a heartbeat. Read more

Love this mat. My favorite part is the thickness of the mat. The mat absorbs impact when you jump on it without slipping. It doesn’t hurt your knees when you kneel on it. The mat easily rolls and unrolls. My only concern is that a few small holes have formed on the mat after a few uses. Overall, I think it’s a good value for the money. Read more

I like the feel of this mat but it is really slippery. No grip, so my hands slide when they should be gripping the mat. I tried various ways to increase the stickiness of the mat but nothing has worked. Unfortunately it is too late for me to return it. Read more

I love the thickness of the mat. This is the 2nd one I have purchased. The only reason I got rid of my first one is because it sat in my basement and got mildew, otherwise it lasted more than 6 years Read more

Like it since I don’t slide on it. It’s a bit hard so there is really no give so not as comfortable when you are in certain kneeling positions. It feels a little smaller than my other mats and adding 2 inches in length would make it more useful. It is a bit heavier to carry than other mats but overall I do like it simply because I don’t slide. Read more

Love love love this yoga mat! I was seeking a light weight mat that I can carry easily on long walks to the yoga studio and it’s def light! It’s soft to the touch, the right amount of squishy and lays flat, doesn’t curl. Also it doesn’t slide around on a wood floor. Great mat! Read more

Just the right thickness for floor yoga. Surface texture provides foot grip. Read more

Smooth as silk. This is not a mat for anything other than yin or restorative yoga. Read more
