Rating: - Yoga Mat review
It is a fun mat especially when in downward facing dog, looking at the blue leaves. The mat was smelly first few times it smelt like a fresh paint, but the smell was gone after 2 weeks.
Rating: - Great Yoga Mat!
I love this yoga mat! It did have a strong smell upon opening, but I just aired it out (I unrolled it across the couch in the den) overnight and it was fine in the morning. I think it has plenty of cushion and it looks very pretty in my yoga room too!
Rating: - Expensive
Mat is OK, after purchasing this found lots of other mats in the stores with same or better quality for lesser price.
Rating: - Great mat
I purchased the brown mat with the blue leaves. It looks great and has an excellent sticky surface. The mat is not as thick as some other mats, but I find those thicker mats to be better for Pilates, not yoga. Thinner mats give you better support during balancing poses.
The mat's smell is normal for yoga mats and will go away with time. I doubt you'll find a brand-new yoga mat that doesn't have a smell.
Rating: - Slippery
To expensive for such a slippery mat. Downward dog is nearly impossible, making it complicated to focus on breathing or relaxing. Over all Review
Con:
1)Extremely Slippery
2)Toxic scent after initial unwrapping of product
Pro:
1)Length im 5"8 and this mat is just long enough for me anyone taller should buy a longer mat
2)The perfect amount of stickiness
3)Design is alright,so if your into asthetics then it's a con
