Absolutely worth it! Not to mention, the great customer service! Love the design of the moon phases and the soft suede feel of this mat. It provides the perfect amount of cushion for my knees along with grip for my hands and comfort for my back. Though I have only had this mat for less than a week, the quality seems impeccably well made and durable. It's also not to heavy considering the thickness and materials used in the mat itself. I am not an experienced yogi, but I do my fair share of bikram, Yogalates, strength yoga, vinyasa a few times a week in conjunction with my Muay Thai training. All of which, my yoga mat has been there supporting me. ;) If I could take this mat everywhere, I would. Thanks Yoga Zeal! Read more
I am in love w/this mat. Not only is the palm print super cute, but it truly is a non-slip mat. I've bought loads of mats before, and since I do lots of hot yoga, my palms are always very sweaty and its hard to find a mat that works. Well, this mat is awesome. I never slip. It's very soft and light to carry. Also, it's machine washable which is amazing since i do a ton of hot yoga and always want to have a clean mat. Super affordable, non slippy, machine washable and cute, affordable...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! PS - i'm a picky virgo who is rarely 100% satisfied by products purchased online bc you never know, but this mat really is awesome! Read more
After researching several yoga brands and mats online, I ordered the Yoga Zeal Black Lunar Yoga Mat. This mat is gorgeous, it has a microfiber vegan suede top bonded to natural tree rubber. The construction and quality is very similar, if not identical to the Mika Yoga and Yoga Design Lab mats. I have a Jade Yoga mat also which is excellent but I really gravitate towards these comfortable microfiber suede top mats. They're recommended for hot yoga and grip better with sweat. However, I actually really enjoy using this mat for my nighttime restorative practice as well. Having a bit of slip is fantastic for a lot of the calming restorative flows. If I need more grip, I lightly mist the mat with an aromatherapy yoga mat spray and it works out brilliantly. I absolutely love the Lunar phases design! I hope Yoga Zeal will add more designs to their collection. I will definitely purchase from them again in the future. Read more
Great mat! Super grippy and lightweight, yet just thick enough to be comfortable. However, I have only used it twice , so I have not put in the washing machine yet. That it is machine washable is a big part of why I bought it. If it washes up nicely and hold up, it will be the best mat ever. Time will only tell. Read more
I just got my mat last night and used it for hot yoga this morning! It is true that the more you sweat the more you grip. I was worried about this mat since its like $80...but I actually love it. Also I'd recommend for hot yoga unless you sweat in normal yoga classes then it's perfect! (Also, some people are saying its slippery, it's slippery because your'e not sweating, if you don't, you can always mist the mat with some spray, I use an organic lavender mint cleaner!) The print is exactly like the images shown. I got the Black mat with the Moon phases. It is soft like suede which made me think it would never work, but class this morning proved it wrong. However, this mat is a little heavy but I can handle that... Also I was worried about a rubbery weird smell like a lot of others have and honestly I didn't smell anything, if so..MAYBE a little? anyway you can wipe it down when you get it. But all in all...it's a nice mat! P.S it does not come with a strap to carry...just putting that out there Read more
I am in loooooove!!!! This mat lives up to its expectations! The colors are vibrant and you can tell the product is high quality. The mat itself is kind of heavy, but that doesn’t bother me very much. The mat can also be slightly slippery, but as long as you’re moving the heat from your hands make it so you don’t slide as much. You can also spritz your mat with water and you won’t have a problem. I love this mat. I get compliments from people all the time. Plus, I feel freaking sexy whenever I use it. 😂 I would recommend to anyone who does yoga, or is contemplating on starting yoga. Buy this mat! Read more
After using this mat less than 2 months, there is no more grip on the bottom. In my classes I nearly fell when I was in down dog. Don’t even try to do burpees on the mat or you could risk injury! I’m disappointed because I love the design so much, but certainly not worth the money. Go with a Lululemon mat instead, basically the same price - I’m off to order mine. Read more
Just received this mat and I LOVE IT!!! It's way more exciting and beautiful in person. I guess I didn't pay close attention and was not aware of the texture of the mat, but was very happy with it!!! Way better than what I thought I was getting. Cannot wait to use this everyday!!! So far it's excellent! The material makes it a bit slick, but I think that's more me and what I need to correct with my yoga. But this mat is AMAZING!!! It's beautiful and comfortable and just plain AMAZING! I cannot get over it. Will definitely be ordering from Yoga Zeal again! Update: (month+ later) OMG!!! I took this to hot yoga for 75minutes, vinyasa. it was the best thing ever! I didnt slid AT ALL!!! LOVE IT! Read more
