IUGA Pro Yoga Mat Non Slip Pilates Mat Anti-tear Eco Friendly Hot Yoga Mat with SGS Certified Material Free Carrying Strap Included

I have been debating about what mat to get for months!!! I hate to shell out a bunch of coin and then not know if I’m going to love the mat. I’m a new yogi. I’ve been practicing a little over a year. I do yoga at a studio and at a gym. Hot and unheated. For unheated yoga this mat is fantastic!!! It grips so well. It’s long and wide and just gorgeous. I haven’t tried it for heated, but I spilled a little water on it and it was kind of slippery. I would use a towel for hot yoga anyway since I sweat so much. Seriously cooking butt soup in my leggings at every hot practice. I know you’re jealous. But that’s neither here nor there! Let’s get back to the mat... I got the blue marble and it’s lovely. I often have make up remnants on when I practice and it leaves a smudge during child’s and some other poses. Wipes right off!!! Don’t even have to use spray, just a towel and it cleans right off. Does smell a little rubbery, but it’s not strong and it gets better with each use. I’ve been using about 5 times a week for 3 weeks. This mat is so light!!! My old mat weighed a ton. This thing weighs way less than a bag of sugar! The strap is a nice addition but I don’t love it. I’ll get something else eventually. Don’t wait. You are going to be so happy you bought this mat—at half the price of some of those other brands! 8/13/20 My original post was obviously gushing over this mat. Years later and you bet, I still love it! I just purchased another. This time in the navy blue. The lighter blue marble did eventually show marks from my hands and feet that wouldn’t wash off. Strictly cosmetic. I have used the mat for hot yoga—and without a towel—and it’s fantastic! But I do have to remember to spread it out so it can dry after as it does hold the sweat. I still stand behind my review. Order this mat. Life is so yucky right now. You can at least count on this being a great mat and you’ll be that much closer to a deep breath and a little sanity. Namaste.

I have used other "non-slip" mats that aren't non-slip at all. With this mat, I don't slip at all. Compared with other mats I have that are actually non-slip mats, I found that is was pretty cushy and comfortable on my knees, and I have had surgery on both knees. It's not as cushy as some of the mats I've used that weren't as grippy (had me constantly readjusting my hands during downdog or evan a little scared in downdog), but I find the extra grip to be much friendly on my joints than so much cushion as to have me not able to grip the mat or the mat not gripping the floor. I do sweat in my normal home practice and haven't had a problem with slippage there, but I haven't tried this mat in a hot yoga class yet, so I can't speak to how it would do if thoroughly wet. I wouldn't exactly say that the mat is "odor free", as it does have a distinct smell. I wouldn't really call it an "odor" either though as it doesn't bother me. It's not as strong as the smell of other yoga mats/doesn't smell like a tire shop, but that even that never bothered me as much as it seems to bother some anyway. It does wipe clean pretty easily (compared with some other mats I've used with a similar surface), but I will say that it does take longer to air dry than other mats I've used with comparable surface. Where the others I've used are usually dry in under 30 minutes, this one is never dry that soon and ends up being moved out of the floor and to a coffee table to dry while I head to work. I can't speak to long term durability yet because I've only had it for a few months, but so far it is holding up well. For the price, I'd say it's a good yoga mat and will stay in my rotation.

EDIT November 2022: I really liked this mat at first but had to stop using it, and so I edited my review down to 4 stars. Though I cleaned and dried this mat thoroughly after each use, it is hard to get the smell out. I even scrubbed dish soap into both sides and hosed it down outside twice but it still smelled. I finally washed it in the machine a couple times and it made the surface bubble. Didn’t last very long. I recently switched to a cork mat and love it. I bought this mat after returning my Manduka GRP lite hot yoga mat and this one is much better, and much cheaper than the $115 option. It grips well while not being too sticky on my thighs when I roll through chaturanga/up dog. It is much lighter and thinner than the Manduka grp and other similar mats. I’ve been doing hot yoga for years and previously used a Manduka mat that had a suede-like top layer. I wanted to get a new one that I would not have to dry out daily and wash in the machine weekly. This one is very light and wicks away sweat (I am sweaty and this was still grippy). The only time I need to use my hand towel during class is when I’m doing a super hot (~110 degree) vinyasa flow class and I have to swipe away sweat from the hand area a couple times. For most classes that are ~90 degrees I do not have any issue with too much sweat. Glad I found this option for under $100 and am happy with it!

This is everything I want in a yoga mat: -Slightly squishy but not too squishy where it's difficult to balance -VERY grippy despite it's smooth surface...no more sliding hands and feet -Very lightweight, so easy to carry -Doesn't smell like plastic -It's purple! :o) :o) :o) BUY IT!!!

Ce tapis change la vie pour quelqu’un qui a les mains qui transpirent au yoga. J’avais tendance à me crisper souvent en chien tête en bas ou autres positions car mes mails glissent. Je pense qu’il est au même niveau / qualité qu’un liforme! Dommage que la marque ne soit pas connue plus que ça

Leggero e con un ottimo grip!!

I was using a combination mat that was really targeted for hot yoga and I really liked the print pattern on it which made it nice to work out on and was why I persevered with it in non hot sessions However during non hot sessions I found my self slipping and trying to compensate and at times not being able to hold positions I decided to treat myself to a new mat and it was between two but this one is a nicer colour and lighter. Glady I made the right choice and this mat is sticky and I can hold the down dogs and other positions without worrying about slipping. The ends of the mat do curl up a bit but hopefully that will sort itself out It would just be nice to have other prints available in the future Can definitely recommend this mat

Acquistato circa due anni fa e l’ho usato in media 2/ 3 volte a settimana. Come mix tra morbidezza e spessore è sicurante superiore alla media ma purtroppo si e usurato in fretta nel giro di un anno, vedi foto. Dopo ogni pratica l’ho sempre pulito solo con acqua tiepida ed ogni volta notavo parecchio nero sul panno. Adesso si è rovinato a tal punto da lasciare una polverina nera. Rapporto qualità-prezzo quindi 3/5
