3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty design, but lacking in function, July 18, 2011

This review is from: Gaiam Printed Yoga Mat (Damask) (Sports)

The pros of this mat: pretty, unique design, and great price. The cons? Not exactly ideal for actual yoga practice. It's ok for short practice or meditation, but when it comes to doing any yoga for more than an hour or when actual sweating is involved, it sort of falls short. It is very slippery and not very padded. Doesn't feel great on the knees or the palms of the hands when holding poses for a long time. So although it looks great and the price is nice, it is worth it to looking into more expensive but higher quality mats if you want to use this for any actual involved practice. I will keep this for a back-up or travel mat though. Not a bad mat, but I wouldn't buy this type of mat again.

I wanted a mat either with a simple peace sign, the om sign, or swirls. I decided on this one cause I didn't care for the World Peace design (don't need to be reminded of world events during yoga class). I do hot yoga, and slipped once, causing a blister on my elbow when using this mat (before I learned to use a towel.)I love the design, it's so fascinating and captivating. The mat is soft...sometimes I wish they were thicker cause it would feel better on my back, but this is the standard size. Nicely done, Gaiam.

My favorite part about this mat is when I get to stare at the beautiful design while doing planks and chaturanga. It somehow makes it not so bad haha. This mat also holds its shape really well and lies flat when unrolled. Good grip, good length, no complaints here!
