Yogasana Yoga Mat | Thick Eco-Friendly Cotton, Home Workout Floor Exercise, Meditation, Superior Grip Non Slip, Hot Yoga 72”

I finally splurged and am very happy I did; this is a nice mat with a great feel and looks like it will last for many years. As others have noted, I had to adjust some movements to avoid sliding quickly across the surface (ouch!), but that same texture keeps me from slipping even when sweaty and gives the mat a nice durable feel. Love the color and the variation--gives me a different meditative experience each time I use it. Width is average, maybe a little wider than an average mat, but length provides extra room, which is perfect because my dog usually joins me. On the pricey side, but I would still recommend. I love it so far.

I just love having this mat for my daily practice. It is perfect for many types of personal fitness. The handmade texture is woven to perfection. The natural ridges of the weave help me to experience a deeper connection to the peace and harmony within. The color "Water" is calming and balancing to my spirit as it the varying hues of blue transform the environment with peace. If you do Yoga, Qigong or any type of fitness that requires a mat, this is the one to have. Cleaning it is so simple, just machine wash and air dry for complete freshness, the size and color never change. There is nothing fake about this mat that is produced with such great ethical fair trade standards.

+ mat feels really nice to the touch - like a natural cotton rug - quite hard though+ no smell, does not seem like chemicals are involved in making / dying this+ manufacturer claims to pay workers well plus support their children's education- very high price- color runs significantly and mat shrinks even when washed cold and with mild detergent- mat looks a lot more dull and lifeless than in the pictures- several weaving errors / faulty patches and even fraying at the seamsOverall I'm giving this three stars - mostly for the noble cause it supports though.The mat does feel really nice as well - indeed a lot more natural compared to a regular sticky mat.(keep in mind this is a rough rug though, not a soft cushy mat).Considering the price I would have expected a much higher quality product though.Weaving errors, frayed seams, color running etc. is not acceptable when charging a premium like that in my opinion.

My mat needed to be washed three times before it could be used due to the purple dye running. If you get this one, I strongly recommended reading up on how to stop colors from running with cotton items. Since I purchased it, I have learned this is a common issue with cotton mats.The mat is not soft but it gets better with each wash. Other reviews thought this was a negative but I was neutral on it. If you want a softer mat, I recommending getting a rubber mat.The quality of the stitching is ok.The thickness of the mat is perfect. The description states it is thick but I would consider it medium.The color is very good. Even after the dye ran on the first two washes, I still liked the purple color.On a wooden floor, the mat can move significantly depending on the yoga class. I am going to try spraying the bottom of the mat with a little water to get better traction. Outside, the mat works much better.I am not sure whether I would buy this mat or any cotton mat again due to the lack of grip on a wooden floor.

This mat is absolutely beautiful and everything I hoped it would be. Not too soft, not too hard -- it's comfortable for my long restoratives but I can also do crow pose on it and keep my balance during sun salutations. It looks so great that I feel OK with leaving it unrolled in my living room. I love that it's completely handmade and the brown color suits me perfectly (vata dosha). Check out the video on their website that explains the effects of the different colors.I'm attaching a picture but it doesn't do it justice. It looks different in different lights and even in different poses.Not sure I'd recommend it for a beginner to learn on and it wouldn't be right for someone that needs a lot of padding. Though I think it would work fine to place it on top of another mat.

When I first started practicing yoga, almost a decade ago, I began with a yoga "rug".. When I began seeking out a newer one, my searches kept leading back to thick plastic "mats". I'm thrilled to have found this one. It's well made. Thank you

The braid is very tough and uneven and does not feel well during yoga practice. Also, the mat is a bit crooked, and a bit smaller than advertised after laundering. Would make a very good porch mat, maybe.The green color was vibrant and lovely, however.

I love this mat for outdoor practice! It’s nicely made and the colors are lovely. I like to spritz it with a bit of water infused with essential oils to make it a more grippy. If your palms sweat naturally that’s not needed. The sun does not damage the mat like it does with rubber mats. And a good shake is all you need to clean it off. I’ll be taking it to the beach with me this summer. It’s also very nice for a yin and/or restorative practice. I’m so pleased to have added a yogasana cotton mat to my collection of yoga necessities. I’ll be putting it to use and will report on how it washes once it’s required I do so. Namaste🙏
