Great Item Overall - Travel Yoga Mat Critique
In the past I have purchased the cheaper $15 - $20 mats and there is a definite difference. This mat stays in place on the floor and does not bunch up.
It's a high quality mat that's real sticky and doesn't move at all during fast-paced yoga. It's nicely cushioned and the static yoga poses now feel so much better.
If you bring your own mat you always know where it's been. Plus, owning your own mat may encourage you to begin valuable practice at home.
I am enjoying this mat tremendously! It is very supportive throughout the entire yoga class.
Don't get me wrong: you can find much cheaper products that will totally do the trick. I've used those products for the past 6 years. You won't be regret buying it. I bought this mat 2 years ago when I first started my P90X journey. This is an excellent yoga mat; I had one of my own and bought this for my mom on Amazon. You can't beat the price.
It gives just the right amount - enough to be extremely comfortable but not too much avoiding slippage. It's a little more money than others but it will last. I purchased the Jade Yoga Fusion mat just last week, and after only scrubbing it once, it is perfect. At first I was blown away by the price. It has made a difference in my practice. After letting the mat air out - as suggested on the label accompanying the mat - it has been absolutely perfect for my Yoga practice. The first time I used my mat I almost fell on my face during downward facing dog but after a couple of uses the mat did get a little bit more slip resistant but not to the point most of us would consider comfortable. This mat is very think relative to other yoga mats and that works well when working out on a hard surface.
As for the size...I love it. I am 5'9" and I like a deep Warrior pose - with this mat, I don't have to worry about going over the edge. I give this three stars because although my hands and feet continue to slide, I guess that it helps me work a little harder to hold my poses firmer and longer and it is a very plush mat. I guess I need to scrub it down again! This is a wonderful mat. It will take your practice to a new level and last a lifetime.
This mat fits the bill. If it begins to show wear and tear in less than a year I'll be back to update my review.
