Customer Reviews

decent backup mat at a fair price
I would not recommend this as a primary mat for someone who practices on a regular basis, but it is low cost as a backup mat. This mat is very thin and clearly not as sturdy as most mats I have used, but it is also much less expensive.
As some idea of usage, I know a few people who keep a spare mat in the trunk in case they forget their mat or have a spur of the moment desire to do Asana (at a park for example). This would work fine for that. Similarly, we are likely to order a few more for our kids and their friends to use when they have a "yoga party" during a play date (our kids are elementary school/toddler).
We ordered one to be sent to my parents' house in advance of spending a week there - it was fine for us to have for keeping up our practice during that week. We left it so it will be there on other visits (and with the hope that it would spark my parents to give it a try). Again, the price made it possible to use it that way - making this a nice option for such "back up" items.

Good for Bikrams
This thin mat is perfect for Bikrams Yoga, since their studio always has carpet and you need to place a towel over your mat, due to the fact that you sweat profusely throughout the class. There is no need in this environment for a thick padded mat or a mat that provides grip (in Bikram the mat is completely covered with your towel). The quality is nice and sturdy for a thin and lightweight mat and it rinces and dries beautifully on a daily basis. It might be uncomfortable to practice on if you were on a hardwood or tiled floor and in a cool room (it's really thin).
I highly recommend this mat for Bikram practioners...A+

Okay, but my hands slip
I should start off by saying that I have not been practicing yoga very long and most (but not all) of my yoga practice has been through DVDs. This is the first yoga mat that I have purchased, so I don't have much to compare it to. I bought it because, when I do yoga at home, my hands slip on my carpet - especially when I am doing the downward facing dog position.
I thought that this mat would be okay for me as a starter mat (if there is such a thing), since I'm still experimenting with yoga a little and I do not do yoga regularly. I wasn't sure that I was ready to invest in a more expensive mat. But, I guess you get what you pay for...
My hands still slip when I use this mat, which is sort of frustrating, and the mat doesn't really serve it's purpose for me.
So, I agree with the other reviewers that said that this is probably not the best choice for someone looking for a yoga mat for regular use. I guess it may be a good back-up mat to have in the car in case of a "yoga emergency."
