One of my all time favorite mats.
I have bought many of the big names in yoga mats over the years and have appreciated them all. But I love how this mat functions. Stays in place. Rolls out flat. Perfect traction for vigorous yoga classes. Thick but not squishy and firm enough so my balance is not compromised. My hands never slip. Checks the boxes for me. Oh, and pretty! Solid color on one side, beautiful design on the other. The only thing I can see as an issue for some is that it does have that rubber smell that comes w/ so many natural rubber mats. So if you are smell sensitive, keep this in mind. But otherwise, I could not be happier to be practicing my yoga regularly on this mat. Itâs my go to amongst a selection of great mats.

A little stinky but TOTALLY worth it!
This mat is awesome!! I knocked off one star because, like others have mentioned, it is a little stinky. The pungent rubber smell can definitely linger in whatever room itâs stored in. Iâve had the mat for 3 weeks now and Iâd say the rubber smell is approximately 60% gone….and this is with me not doing anything special in terms of airing it out. In my opinion, although the smell is not what Iâd consider pleasant, there are much more offensive smells than the smell of natural rubber.
Ok, now back to the matâs awesomeness: Just the right amount of cushion; conducive to all poses. So supportive on my knees- it makes forward lunges a breeze! Love the color and simple, calming design (I purchased River). I cannot attest to the grip vs slip factor during extremely sweaty conditions (ie hot yoga), however during ânormalâ practices where my hands and feet get mildly sweaty at best, the grip factor is 100%. I donât slide one bit! The mat is a little weighty, but I donât mind. When I take out the mat, Iâm reminded of itâs good quality and look forward to rolling it out every time!
**Edit: Iâve had this mat for about 3 months now. Smell is gone. I put the star back. 5 stars all the way. This mat is awesome!

Highly Recommend
This yoga mat is durable, high quality, and affordable for the value. It grips super well and is thick and comfortable on the knees. I just finished my yoga teacher training and was searching for a sustainable durable mat and I could not be happier with this purchase.
Potential cons are that it’s a bit heavy so it may be worth having a yoga strap to carry it with. In regards to the slight odor, it really has not bothered me at all. It just smells new. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s already almost gone. I highly recommend this product.

One of my favorite mats
This is my goldilocks mat. I have had and tried so many! This one is just right. I love the cushioning on my hardwood floors, its nice and comfy on my sensitive knees. Its the perfect amount of non-slip for my hatha/vinyasa practice. It solid enough that it stays put on the floor. I have the river color, it is a teal green/blue color with paler striations throughout. I find it very calming. The surface of the mat is lighly textured, its much softer feeling then a Jade mat. It has a rubber smell (as do all rubber mats) I don’t find it as overpowering as others have stated. I highly recommend this mat!

It’s worth the rubber aroma
Gonna say, right off the bat, that there is a latex smell to this mat. I’ve had mine about six months, and it no longer smells much while I’m using it, but I do notice that a rubbery smell lingers on my hands. Sometimes even after I wash them. So what do I do? I wash them again. No biggie. It’s good to wash your hands frequently during cold season.
It’s 100% worth it, because this is a great mat. It’s thick and spongy enough to cushion my joints very nicely, but firm enough to feel quite stable in standing poses. Some might like a firmer or softer mat, but for me, this is the perfect balance.
While researching, what really drew me to this mat is the dual-sided aspect. The top, with the streak pattern, is a solid layer of sticky rubber. This side is more grippy, and feels firmer. I use this side most, since I do a lot of vinyasa yoga. If you flip the mat over, it has a more open-cell structure that feels a lot like a Jade mat. It feels softer, which is nice for restorative or yin, and if it’s a hot day (I don’t have AC) it seems to provide a little more traction under slightly sweaty conditions.
For very sweaty conditions like hot yoga, just use a mat towel. This mat is not great on its own for hot yoga, but is any mat? Quality yoga towels are like 20 bucks, work well, and best of all, prolong the life of your mat because you’re not sweating directly onto it.
This mat is heavier than other mats I’ve had, but I have a backpack style mat bag so I barely notice the increase. The weight comes from the thickness and density that makes it so comfortable.

Perfect option for me!
I absolutely love this mat! I had been doing yoga for about two years on my “beginners” mat and was having real issues with my hands getting sweaty and sliding. I finally decided it was time to invest in a better mat and talked with my yoga teacher. She let me try several mats at the studio to see how they worked. While they were better, I still found myself slipping a bit even on those. She then recommended I try her mat and I fell in love . She used this mat and I can see why.
It’s heavy so it doesn’t slide around on the floor, it’s cushioned so my knees are happy, and (best of all) I can do poses with sweaty palms without sliding. The only drawback at all is the mat is sticky enough that when swinging my leg to the front of the mat while in any downward position, I absolutely have to lift it – any dragging of the leg and the mat causes resistance. It actually encourages better yoga, but some days I’m not capable of a clean movement and have to come down on a knee and then swing the other leg forward.
It did have a rubbery odor for the first few times I used it but that has totally gone away now and I am 100% pleased.
I was taking a class from the owner of the yoga studio a couple of weeks ago and she did a double take when she was working with me — looked at what type it was and made the comment that it is a really excellent mat.

Je l’adore. Beaucoup de grip même avec des blocs de yoga. J’aime plutôt l’odeur du caoutchouc. Bonne densité.

Besides the heavy weight and smell (which goes away), this is the best yoga mat I have ever had! Awesome grip and cushion (I have injured my knee and this mat helps me). I strongly recommend this yoga mat! (Ps the colour is gorgeous! So calming)

It’s quite heavy, but I love the material because it’s slip proof. It’s also really pretty.

I was soooo disappointed with this yoga mat. After trying all kinds of different things as suggested by the seller (inc wiping it with white vinegar, etc) I could not get rid of the smell. It was so awful I felt super sick – headache/nausea – during practice and didn’t recover for hours. And I was slipping and sliding all over it each time I tried to use it. Good thing I had my old (tried, tested a true) Lulu mat on stanby… Really unfortunate to have had this experience. I had high hopes for this mat but ended up with no other option than to return it – AFTER THE SELLER STOPPED REPLYING with more suggestions on how to make the mat work for me.
