I am completely obsessed with this yoga mat. Just like the instructions say, spray it down with some water before practicing, and again as needed, and you will feel so grounded and supported...seriously, no slipping at all. Like previous posters have mentioned, it is pretty heavy, and mine didn’t come with a carrying strap, but it’s no problem at all for me. The instructions also come with washing directions, as well, which is super helpful. It says you can put it on a gentle, cool cycle in the washing machine and hang to dry, or you can hand wash in the tub and hang to dry. I’ll be hand washing mine when needed, but until then, I use a homemade yoga mat spray cleaner that’s working just fine. The designs on these mats are so unique and beautiful. I love mine! I got the Persia, and it’s so pretty, you could actually leave it out as part of the room. It inspires me to get onto my mat everyday, and I’ve already received so many compliments on it. I’m proud to have this as my mat. As you can see, the colors are vibrant, but also somewhat muted on the Persia. It’s hard to explain, but I love the effect. I also appreciate how there are greens, pinks, blues, red, yellow, purple, gray, and black, but it all fits together without looking like it’s “too much.” I also like how the design is symmetrical and provides alignment guides without the obvious line down the middle. Some of the others have the line down the middle, which I assume would be great for some yogis, but I like the lines (on the Persia) on the outside of the mat, and I like using the design as a guide. See? I’m obsessed. Ha! Thank you for making this awesome product! I’ll never own another brand’s mat, but I may collect more designs! I’m so thankful to have finally found the perfect yoga mat for me! Hope this helps! Love & Light to all...✨♥️✨ Read more
I am not a yoga person. I need something a little more up tempo. But...the quarantine gave me a good opportunity to try to get back into it. I noticed that that mat I was using for stretching, while super thick and awesome for knee cushioning, was terrible for yoga as it would stretch and move while in poses. So I ordered this. It’s gorgeous. I’ve used it twice. No slipping. No stretching. The mat does NOT move at all. It’s very dense and heavy for a mat which probably means it’s a pretty good quality and will last a while. Easy to roll up without getting all crooked. I didn’t know I was missing the center line until I had one. Definitely worth the money. If I HAD one complaint it’s that I need a towel for my knee but that’s an issue with me, not the mat. Also had a bit of a rubber smell at first. A little fabric Fabreeze did the trick (tho idk if the company would recommend such a thing). Over all I really love it. Read more
I am totally in love with this beautiful Yoga Mat and the company really are all that they say they are. The mat was well packed and came with a strong carrying strap. The colours are exactly as on screen. When I first used the mat I hadn't really read the advice supplied and I found it slippery. I emailed Plyopic and received a response within hours, even though we are at opposite ends of the planet. I was advised to dampen the mat which I did using a spray bottle of water, just where my hands and feet go in Warrior or Downward Dog, and it was amazing! The grip is great, the mat dries fast and the coolness of the damp part is actually very pleasant during practice. It is the best mat I have ever used and I hope I never have to look for another. This mat is my safe place, my sanctuary and it has made my home practice stronger and is much admired in my classes. I am going back to the UK for a few months and seriously considering buying a second Plyopic mat to use there, maybe the travel mat. Thank you Plyopic for being all that you say you are and more, and for helping the planet. If you are considering this mat, all I can say is go for it, but do remember to spray it, especially at first... mine is actually getting grippier the more I use it! *LOVE* Read more
Love this mat-- it's great and no slipping in downward dog!! Great padding but not too thick too. Only 4 stars bc it was delivered almost a week after its expected delivery... not sure what was going on with it, and the package came all banged up. Mat was in good condition though! Recommend this mat for sure-- just be prepared for possibly delivery delays! Read more
LOVE this exercise mat. A little on the pricier end, but you pay for quality. Read more
So cute. I brought to several hot yoga/Pilates this week as well as regular yoga. Holds the sweat amazingly well without getting slippery. Due to the material, I feel a little bit of discomfort when pushing into my back leg in positions like warrior II. It's worth it though for the sweat wicking/no slip properties. Not squishy at all, it will feel like you're laying on the hardwood during savasana. Takes a whole day to dry if you really soaked it. A bit of an unpleasant chemical smell when your face is right up in it. Read more
I bought the Breathe pattern and i love it. I love the weight of it, it lays flat. The softness of it but grippy. I dont do hot yoga, so i can say how it is for that. But i love the single line down it so can help align myself Read more
It’s a nice mat but I am allergic to latex and there is definitely latex in the material. I cannot use it at all but it’s so pretty and very durable so if you don’t have an allergy it’s a good mat. Read more
