Amazon.com Product Description
Working in collaboration with John Friend--founder of Anusara Yoga--prAna created the Revolution natural sticky mat, an innovative step forward in the evolution of yoga mats. Offering a dual cotton scrim construction, the mat works to limit stretching in all three directions, creating a strong, stable practice surface that won't bunch underfoot. In addition, the 30-inch mat is significantly wider than standard mats, giving you more space to spread your hands and feet. Finally, the mat's three biodegradable rubber layers are heat laminated without glue, making it sturdy. The Revolution--a great choice for yoga students looking for improved support and better alignment--measures 30 by 78 inches (W x L) and 4mm thick.

Whether in sports, travels or yoga practice, the adventure has never failed to make many wonderful friends and memories. prAna is always looking for new ways to fold sustainable materials and practices into their collection, working to reduce the impact on soils, water supplies, and other natural resources.
PrAna’s commitment to the environment begins at home and extends outward to their retailers and the homes of thei employees. As part of their Natural Power Initiative (NPI), prAna works with their partner 3Degrees to support new U.S.-based wind energy projects through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (REC’s). In 2009, the impact of the NPI program will prevent over 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the earth’s atmosphere. Simply by supporting renewable energy for prAna's headquarters, all of the company's employee’s homes, two prAna retail locations, and 250 of their U.S. retailers, the NPI program will create an environmental benefit equivalent to removing over 2,300 cars from the road annually.
prAna supports a number of organizations who share their values. As a member of the Organic Trade Association and the Organic Exchange, prAna is continually increasing the use of organic cotton, as well as sourcing other natural fibers and innovative recycled/upcycled materials. The Access Fund helps to keep climbing areas open while the Conservation Alliance protects wild and natural areas. HERA supports local ovarian cancer groups and the Outdoor Foundation helps to get kids active in the outdoors.
Product Description
Check it out, guys! This is a new yoga mat that's just been released by prAna. prAna designed this mat with the help of Anusara Yoga founder John Friend. They claim that this is the best yoga mat available on the market, and we agree that it's pretty darn cool. The thing that stands out most about this mat is that it's extremely roomy. Whereas the average yoga mat is 24"x68" in size, the new Revolution Yoga Mat is a whopping 30"x78" - wowza that's big! In addition to its extra-large size, the Revolution Mat is also very well-made. It's a rubber-based all-natural yoga mat which is made with no hazardous materials (i.e. no PVC), and it's completely biodegradable. This mat also has excellent anti-slip properties and superior cushioning. At 4mm thick, you won't experience any moving or bunching underfoot. The Revolution Yoga Mat is very dense (meaning that it's therefore incredibly durable), and because of that, it has a hefty weight of about 10 pounds. Available in grass and burnt orange. 30"x78"x4mm. For a slightly lighterweight version of this mat which is 26" wide instead of 30" wide, see the Neo Natural Yoga Mat by prAna. The only difference between the Neo Natural Mat and the Revolution Mat is that the Neo Natural Mat is 4" narrower.

I just got my new mat and used it at a weekend class. I wasnt going to use it at first since I wanted to give it a chance to air out prior to use. However my old mat kept shifting on me as we were on carpet so I decided to try my new mat. Yes it is heavy but not rediculously so. The size is great and it stuck and gave me so much more stabiltiy.... two thumbs up..
Expensive but if you practice a lot I think it would be worth it

I've been teaching yoga for 13 years. For the last few months, I'd noticed (and watched) all the promo videos that were being passed around the yoga community for this special mat. And I thought, "Seriously, what can be SOOO different about this one? I've been through the gamut of mats and so far the ONLY one I found that works for me is the kind w/ the twine weaved into it that keeps me from slipping. But even THAT mat has its drawbacks... (think it's the original eco mat), it DOES shed like crazy, it's kinda rough on the skin, has a strong rubber odor, and takes a while to break in." So I figured, "What The Hell!".
This revolution mat was actually a good price, compared to other mats I've tried that are much more limited in space.
I ordered one for my husband and for myself... and we waited patiently.
SO GLAD WE GOT THESE!
This is the CADILLAC (or the Ferrari) of yoga mats. Holy moly! Sticky as all get out, durable, no strong odor, doesn't move around on the floor like Jade Yoga mats do, sturdy, wide and safe! Good colors too! I got the teal blue color and he got the grey. We LOVE them. I actually FEEL stronger on it. I know that sounds funny but the sense of stability allows me to go quite a bit deeper in my asanas.
Thanks John Friend, for your contribution. Thanks PrAna Peeps for your Genius Skill Set. A++++

I bought this mat because of all the great reviews and many said that they did not slip on this mat. Maybe it's just my body chemistry, but the mat's rubber warms and with the heat generated through movement, my hands and feet both develop a thin layer of sweat after the first 5-10 minutes of using the mat and I slip all over the place.
I used it at home for the first week where my practice is more deliberate and slow-paced and it was bearable. But when I took it to a studio I had to run and grab a studio mat so that I was able to hold poses and finish the class without compromising my body alignment and risking injury when I'd want to push forward and instead was slipping back (one example).
This mat is awesome in every other aspect, in my opinion. The size is great - I'll miss that - and the construction of it seems to be of high quality. It's quite heavy and will likely last years. I'm really disappointed I had to return it.

great mat
This mat is wider than average but that is one of the reasons I bought it. It's a little slick at first but after a couple of uses it is perfect.
I love it!

Slipping around
This mat is fantastic if you don't get sweaty palms. When you lay/sit/stand on it you feel grounded and stable. It's thin and hard, but you're still comfortable. Read more

Excellent Mat!
This is the firmest mat I've ever owned, and it took me a little while to get used to it. Also, the smell (which I'm told by the company is non-toxic) took a few weeks to fade. Read more
