Gaiam Yoga Mat - Premium 6mm Print Extra Thick Non Slip Exercise & Fitness Mat for All Types of Yoga, Pilates & Floor Workouts (68"L x 24"W x 6mm Thick)

I'm new to yoga so I picked this out without knowing much and I'm glad i did! Very pretty. Nice thickness and weight. Rolls and unrolls easily. Good nonslip mat. All for a great price.

Bought this mat because my yoga teacher recommended it. Love it! My feet get a good grip while standing and it is a good cushion depth & feels like good quality. The color & design are nice. As per other reviews, it did have a really strong odor at first. I draped it over a deck rail, poured some water over it & let it drape in the sun for a day. Most of the odor was gone by the next day. Would buy again.

I do all levels and advanced vinyasa yoga. This mat is thick enough that I don’t feel the wooden floors of the studio digging into me, but also thin enough that I don’t have to worry too much about it potentially affecting my balance.I have lupus and have issues with my joints, so I wanted something with a little bit of cushion. I couldn’t find anything reasonable, both size/thickness wise and budget wise. I eventually came across this mat and decided to give it a try. I’ve found that it’s done a lot to help make me feel comfortable and to be confident in my posture and footing.The design is very nice, and even after over a year of regular use, the design is still very visible. I haven’t had any of the mat itself flake or run away and it’s still in one piece. It doesn’t show signs of wear. It’s easy to roll up and carry.It's great about not stretching while you’re using it for yoga (I’ve had mats in the past where my downward dog would become weird looking push-ups). It’s not going to start slipping across the floor. I don’t find my feet slipping, either, but my hands sometimes do (that might be more user error than the mat as I tend to sweat a lot from my hands).One downside would be that, because it’s a bit of a thicker mat, if it’s rolled up for too long or left in a hot car, the edge of the mat where you started the roll might curl upwards. I usually place a block or my phone at the edge and it holds it down without a problem and tends to flatten by the end of class.

I love my new Gaiam yoga mat! I recently joined a new studio and the focus is on hot yoga. I love it, but my old mat wasn't grippy enough or thick enough for my knees at this point in life, and I didn't want to have to carry my extra mat that I use at home. This mat is good quality, the perfect length and width for my 5' 5" body, and it's easy to roll up and carry to class. The cushioning is perfect; it's enough to protect my knees on a hard surface, without sacrificing grip or making it harder to carry. I use my own carry strap so I didn't need to worry about a mat that came with one. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could, only because it gets a tiny bit slippery on my hands at the sweatiest part of the workout, but I think most yoga mats will do that. Would buy it again in another color!

Looks exactly like the picture. Stays out on the ground, but I’m pretty tall (5’7”) and it can be short for me depending on m position. So keep that in mind if you’re taller.

I’m very happy with my yoga mat. I ordered the metallic sunset and the color is beautiful! I also love the design. I rolled it out first and put a couple shoe boxes on each end to flatten it. There wasn’t too much of a scent to the mat, but it helps to lay it out overnight if you’re sensitive to the smell.I’m able to roll it up and lay it out without it curling at the ends. I believe the shoe boxes helped when I first got it. Overall, I love the mat and it’s the perfect size, length and thickness to use at home.

I am happy with the product. Good quality and price. No foul smell and nonslip. I like the subtle design too.

I have been doing yoga for over 10 years and have cycled through my fair share of yoga mats.I’ve had the expensive Lululemon mats, and although the designs are cool and they are durable, they stain easily, are super heavy to lug around (6+ lbs for the 6 mm ones), and are NOT non-slip (in my opinion, even though they—along with nearly all yoga mats—are marketed as being non-slip). I have never had an issue with staining, weight, or slipping on Gaiam mats.I actually started yoga with a very inexpensive Gaiam mat, which got the job done but wasn’t thick enough to support during certain poses (like boat pose and others when you are resting on one knee) and it fell apart after using it 1-3x a week for a year (the areas where my hands and feet are placed in downward dog started ripping up and little pieces kept falling off), so I was hesitant to go back to a Gaiam.This mat, however, is more premium than the one I had before. I love that it is offered in so many different colors and styles. It’s beautiful, lightweight yet thick for excellent support, and sticky enough to hold poses. As for durability, only time will tell, but from other reviews, it seems to hold up well. I may even buy another one for home use if they go on sale for Black Friday 😊😊😊
