this mat is a good size, however it is too thin and does not provide a good grip. Hands slide in downward facing dog position. Cannot recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this mat about four months ago. The design is pretty but I dont like to be showy so I use the non-design side when I practice at the studio. I practice daily, and after about two months it started wearing down very quickly. Now I have huge warn out spots on both sides of my mat, which is unfortunate. And it isn't as sticky as when I first got it. I also think that next time I get a mat (I want this one to wear down almost completely) I want to make sure that it is produced more environmentally-friendly, because I think this one may emit harmful chemicals in the mat-making process. Otherwise, if you are on a budget and do not have a vigorous daily practice such as Ashtanga yoga, I reccomend it!

I got this mat a while ago, and really look forward to my Yoga and Pilates time when I pull it out. The tree helps aid my visualization during my workouts.

I like the color and the design of the mat; however, I find it a bit slick at times.

Excellent Mat

When I started yoga I was using a mat that was designed for other types of exercise. It was too thick and didn't hold up well. This mat, in contrast is just the right thickness. It is thick enough to cushion on hard floors, but not so thick as to make balancing asanas unstable. Durability also seems quite good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

the only negative thing i have to say about this mat is that I hated having to wait to use it.. because it's soo cool! just like with any other mat I had to wash and lay it out for a few days to get rid of the plastic smell. I figured it worth the wait though. I have used it almost every day since i got it at the beginning of the year.. I love coming to my mat every morning.
