Heathyoga Eco Friendly Non Slip Yoga Mat Body Alignment System SGS Certified TPE Material - Textured Non Slip

It's a great size. I'm 5'6" and some other yoga mats felt too short where my arms or feet would hang off the end when fully stretched out. I do not have that issue with this mat. There is a slight plastic odor when it is first out of the box but it aired out quickly during one use. The girp on top and bottom of the mat are great (no sliding). The guide lines are also really nice to make sure I'm centered and aligned properly. The thickness is good for a standard mat, but l usually add another thicker mat for just under my knees. The string to carry it is like a shoe lace which is odd but honestly works really well and is light. Overall, I'm very happy with this is yoga mat! Read more

This is my first yoga mat upgrade, and I am so happy I purchased it! My first yoga mat was a simple, very thin, cheap yoga mat. I was very new to the world of yoga and not sure how long I would stay engaged with it. Turns out, I loved it, and after two years, I purchased this one. The thickness and comfort was the very first thing I noticed. I had no idea how much of a difference a thicker mat like this could make. Yoga has never been more comfortable! The material feels a lot like those 'foam puzzle piece mats that kids play with,' so I do slide a little bit when I sweat, but the grip on the bottom side is a lot like a shoe pattern, so the mat itself is nonslip in that aspect. The guides on the mat are so helpful and keep me mindful when I start to drift too far forward or behind the mat. I know the color isn't important, but they really are beautiful! Do be sure to wash your mat down with a wet wash cloth; I didn't wash mine down right away because I was so excited, and my sensitive skin broke out due to whatever the material is treated with. I would definitely recommend this mat to anyone progressing to their next level of yoga, who want comfort and durability, at a great price! I did lots of research before I purchased this, and after using it for a couple months, I would definitely buy it again, but I don't think I'll need to because it is very well made and I can tell it will last me a long time!

I was really excited to receive my new yoga mat! I noticed a slight smell when unwrapping but not so much that it was a huge deal. I loved the color and design with the center line for balancing. The reason I gave 3 stars was simply because I couldn't gain much traction during poses. My hands were slowly slipping so I had to keep readjusting during poses (downward dog). The mat is otherwise very comfy and appears to be made well. This is only my 2nd time purchasing a mat. The first seemed to slip somewhat as well. I was just hoping this one would have been better at not slipping. Hope this review helps! Ps. There is no slip where contact is made with attire, just hands. As a follow up, customer service reached out to me to address my concerns, even so far as to ship a free yoga towel to cover my mat. I haven't tried the towel yet which fits over the mat like a pillow case but I'm willing to give that a try as well. Overall, I'm giving the mat 4 stars because of the size and thickness, also 5 stars for customer service! Tx Heathyoga Read more

I am a yoga teacher, and enthusiastic practicer, who got into yoga initially to recover from and then avoid further injuries for my rowing/sculling. I am now teaching a yoga for rowers course in France, and absolutely love these mats. I used one this morning, before getting a prod email to write this review, and had been thinking how pleased I had been with it, despite a scuff mark or two... They hardly smell (really really important for me not to have a stinky mat!); they do not slip when I am sweating and press quickly into the bridge (I have often slipped doing this or some other move on other makes of mats... I have yet to slip on the Heatyoga one & this gives me greater confidence during practice), and I love the reference points (great for becoming more aware of alignment and progress in practice). They are soft so when I fall (while doing a handstand or headstand variation) I have a cushioned/soft landing - well tested this morning, where I fell due to over-exuberancy in both ... this being tried & tested also gives me confidence to stretch further ... myself/my practice!!). I liked the mat so much, I bought another set for a group of people coming for classes (& shall get even more if I ever have bigger classes, or just to replace these when I wear them out!!) and far prefer them to all the other mats I have tried/have/bought (even compared with far more expensive ones). I like the bright turquoise colour/color one I originally just bought because it was cheaper, but really like it. It is one of a small number of things I shall be taking to India on my advanced teacher training at the start of next year. Can not recommend these enough. Good value. Great mats (oh & I have got absolutely nothing for saying this... this is honest & absolutely my feelings/thoughts. Enjoy your yoga & practice!!! :-)) E A Boileau, Bergerac, France & just posting my first yoga video of me doing a headstand (just while writing this review) & did not fall this time, but perhaps that is because I was not as ... exuberant as earlier in the day when the dawn chorus was in full blast & I had not just had a big lunch!

I'm a 6 foot guy who wanted a little more real estate in a yoga mat. This works great! The new "smell" went away after a week or so. (I rinsed it off in the shower a couple of times and that really helped.) I keep it rolled up with a carry strap and it rolls up pretty tight but not too tight to impart a curl. It lays flat when I go to class so I really appreciate that. (I see lots of folks struggle with their mats curling up and I like that I don't have to mess with this.) It is light and the strap keeps it handy. The mat has a top and bottom which grip really solid to both the floor and to your feet/hands. Time will tell on durability as I've had this for only 3 weeks now but it feels like really good quality so I'm very happy with the purchase. Read more
