YAWHO Yoga Mat Fitness Mat Specifications 72'' x 26'' Thickness 1/4-Inch Eco Friendly Material SGS Certified Ingredients TPE Extra Large Non-Slip Exercise Mat with Carry Bag

For the price, this mat is excellent. I used to do yoga much more regularly and had invested in a nice mat that I let my mom adopt as my practice started to dwindle over the years. I recently decided to get back into yoga so I gave this one a shot based on the reviews. The grip on this mat is great for people who get sweaty palms and feet during more intense practices, the mat itself doesn’t easily slide on smooth ground, it’s very lightweight and the little carrying bag and strap is a nice convenience. This mat does have some stretch to it, which can make a good downward dog or triangle pose more challenging, and it seems to be a little absorptive and harder to clean than my old mat. Overall, worth my money and may be a great starter mat for someone who might not be sure if yoga is something they will stick with.

Over the years I've heard about the benefits of yoga and in years past I tried to get into it. In my previous attempt I bought the typical 4mm gaiam mat and had a horrible experience with it sticking to my feet, sliding everywhere and it smelled to high heaven. Needless to say, when I started contemplating yoga again I wasn't even sure if I wanted a mat because I am practicing at home on a carpeted surface. However, I found that it was difficult to keep myself from sliding in positions like down dog and knew I needed something to help. I decided to give this mat a try since it was eco-friendly and a little larger than the typical mat which I found to be a bit too small for me. I was apprehensive about ordering online because so many other mats had reviews about odor problems and weird substances being all over them. I was pleasantly surprised with this one! It comes in a nice carrying case with the optional string carrier at a good value. The mat itself rolled out easily and pretty much laid flat on the first use (with the exception of the part that was curled the tightest in the package) and I suspect with a little time it will lay completely flat without problems. It provides plenty of grip for your hands without being sticky or sounding like your feet are suction cupped to it. The bottom also doesn't slide around on a carpeted surface. The mat itself barely has an odor, which I was only able to detect during the moments that I was in child's pose and basically taking a big whiff of the mat. All in all, a great buy! TLDR: Barely an odor, doesn't slip on carpet, plenty of grip without being sticky and lays nicely. Looks great too! Buy it!

I'm relatively new to yoga and my cat had shredded my old mat. I chose this mat for several reasons. I hoped the line in the design would help me to straighten my postures, I hoped the bag would protect my new mat from my cat, and I hoped a strap would help with some of the stretches. The line is helpful and the mat generally seems to be of good quality. I was very disappointed though to find that the "strap" is a shoestring. Actually a shoestring, just a little longer with loops on each end. That would be painful for stretching, both for my hands and feet, and I imagine it would break very quickly. It's pretty useless. If you're thinking the handle on the bag comes off and is can be used for a strap, I'm afraid not. It's sewn on and very short. Okay, I can find another strap. Then came the really bad news. There is no getting this mat back inside its bag!! I suppose it may be the mat's no slip texture, so tried rolling it as tightly as possible and even tried the old panty-hose trick of bunching the bag up and sort of unrolling it onto the bag. No go. I tried until my shoulder hurt and I was cursing and for sure all the benefits of my yoga workout had been undone. I won't be trying again. Which means I'll try to hide this away but eventually my cat will get it an it will be toast. I wanted a bag with my goga mat that could actually be used as a bag for my yoga mat. The mat itself is fine, but at this price, I wanted those extras and feel I paid for them.

Perfect yoga mat. Not much slippage during hot yoga, works great. Very comfortable and soft texture. Color is just like the photo, perfect length and width. Better than my $70.00 mat!

I didn't like the berry color at first, so I used the pastel pink side, which I like better than any other color I could imagine during winter, spring, and summer. It has not soiled at all! The last mat I had soiled more easily. Now that it's autumn, I am using the berry side of the mat (season makes all the difference in how appealing the color is!). I just switched workouts and find that the line down the center of the mat helps me to align my movements correctly so I don't put pressure on my back, so that has been very helpful. It is the perfect thickness. I usually have to use a pillow for certain moves that rest my wt on my hip but a pillow is not needed with this mat and that keeps my alignment healthier. It has been a good purchase - highly recommended! UPDATE: the only drawback is that it does slide all over the floor during my aerobic workout, which I didn't have with my previous mat, but wasn't doing the same workout and that might be the case with any mat, and since I work out alone, it's not a big deal. It is used on carpet.

This is a nice, slightly oversized mat. I am happy with the color I ordered and it is comfortable. I like the guiding line down the middle. I was willing to pay more for this mat because it comes with a carrying case. I am giving this mat a 3 rather than a 5 because it does not fit into the carrying case. Do not buy if you think you're going to get a durable carrying case you can use for carrying the mat in. My old, smaller mat fits it the case just fine. I doubt the case will last long given the material it is made of. But again, nice mat--so I will keep.

I love this mat! Great mat for the price. Comfortable and doesn't slip. I would definitely recommend this mat to anyone who is in the market. The carrying bag is convenient and stylish as well.

Very happy. This will make a nice surprise gift for one of my yoga student. Fair price & fast postage.

I'm satisfied with the product quality, and find the printed centre line is very helpful when practicing some poses for beginners.

I’ve had it for years now and sure it does show some signs of use but in really good condition ! Highly recommend

I love the mat, in general. Love the thickness and the dimensions. It’s a big yoga mat. I like the alignment lines. It helps me for yoga sessions and workouts. It is comfortable. The only negative feedback is my hands slips on the mat. Love the fast delivery.

I bought it because my gf wanted a bigger mat that actually sticks to the ground and does not stretch when applying pressure. This one does the job and its great!!
