3.0 out of 5 stars An OK mat.... for the price..., January 28, 2008

This review is from: Gaiam Earth Meets Sky Print Yoga Mat (Sports)
I was looking for something that would keep me in place while I practiced my yoga and exercise moves. I found this mat in the horrendous maze of exercise/yoga mats and purchased based on the reviews I read. It seemed like a decent enough mat for the price...

Most of the other customers were complaining about a terrible rubber smell when you opened the plastic... And this was CERTAINLY the case. As soon as I opened it, the smell hit my nostrils, filled the room, and stayed there until I finally rolled the mat up and put it in my closet. I wasn't expecting it to be such a strong smell!!!

As far as an actual "mat" is concerned, this one provided hardly any traction for me at all. As soon as I started stretching, I started to slip around right away. As it turned out, halfway through my work-out, I threw the mat aside, and continued on my floor. I had more traction on my own carpet, particularly in the Downward Dog pose, which is a pose I come back to frequently. This may be a good mat for hardwood floors or something similar, but if you've got carpet in your exercise/yoga area, find another mat, or stick with your carpet for your workout...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great looking mat, January 16, 2008
By 
This review is from: Gaiam Earth Meets Sky Print Yoga Mat (Sports)
This mat costs more than a non-printed mat, but it's beautiful to look at. I really enjoy unrolling it in yoga class and stretching out over something pretty. It will also stand out from the rest of the mats in class - I have yet to meet anyone who has a similar mat and I go to a couple of different yoga studios a week.

The mat does smell strangely when you first open it, but just spread it out on your floor for a couple of days (flip it over once!) and the smell will go away.

I ordered the mat and a yoga mat harness at the same time from Amazon to get the free shipping ($25 min) and I was quite happy with both items.

4.0 out of 5 stars not joking about the smell, April 1, 2009
This review is from: Gaiam Earth Meets Sky Print Yoga Mat (Sports)
The mat is lovely- as another reviewer said, the colors are better in person. And the thickness and stickiness feel good to me.
Some reviewers said they didn't notice much of a smell; maybe it's the luck of the draw, but mine smells really offensive. I've got it hanging over the shower rod to let it air out, and the bathroom smells like something toxic and chemical. Hopefully it will dissipate in another day or so...
