    Absolutely incredible yoga mat. The grip and support in the mat is amazing.. I use this mat everyday during yoga and other workout that I normally get very sweaty and the grip is still there and support. I’m also finding that I’m holding yoga poses with more strength and stability because I’m not fighting my hands and feet slipping, I’m also able to practice yoga with no socks on for the first time which is amazing! If you’re hesitant about buying this mat because of the price… It’s 100% worth it if you’re a sweaty betty like me. Don’t think, just get it!

    Both daughters delighted with these, nice colour and great for yoga on a wooden floor. Much better quality and stability than my cheap one, as you’d hope.

    This is my first real yoga mat, after only using the ones at the studio and then during lockdown I either practiced on a carpet (bad idea) or on a basic PVC mat (which was crumbling after being washed in the laundry) and it’s just everything I wanted.
    I looked for a mat for a few months as I started practicing at home, and this was the first mat that ticked all my requirements: decent price, sustainability-aware brand and production, rubber, anti-slip, pretty looking and the perfect thickness. And as a bonus: from a women-led company. I also love that it’s smooth and doesn’t have that PVC square texture because my kitten doesn’t have the urge to scratch it haha.
    I use it twice a week and love it. The mat really doesn’t slip. It’s very comfortable to practice on – stable and yet cushioned enough.
    It does catch dust and hairs quite easily (especially on the bottom side) and it’s not as easy to brush it off – I gently vacuum it from time to time. Cleaning according to the instructions is fine.

    I’ve waited a long to to reply my old slippy yoga mat and was overwhelmed by the choice out there, not to mention the prices. My main criteria was that it should be grippy from the outset and I am extremely happy with the grippiness of this yoga mat, a great choice, it doesnt smell at all either. I haven’t washed it yet but there are a few marks on it from body contact – this doesn’t detract from the usage at all and of course mats should be washed from time to time anyway. A seriously good mat despite the price, I think you need to pay for good grippage and the reviews show that.

    Best workout mat I’ve had. Anti-slip helps massively on wooden flooring. Would’ve been better if this was easy to clean but I’ll take that over the other 2 mats I’ve had in the past 6 months which slid every time I jumped/moved while working out.

    From the moment I unwrapped it I knew it was going to be perfect. Used it in Bali for a 200hr YTT course for 3 weeks and it ticked every box. Great grip, supple material weighted enough to unroll and lie flat, easy to roll up, and the lines are surprisingly useful, an added bonus. Only downside to the amazing absorbency is working out how to clean it, I didn’t have any wipes and the spray cleaner was quickly absorbed so I rinsed it under the shower. It took a good few hours to dry thoroughly in the humidity.
    This is the only mat I will ever need. Highly recommend.

    I bought a cheaper mat because I initially didn’t get why they’d cost this much. After sliding all over it when I was sweaty, feeling it slide on the floor when I moved between challenging positions, and generally feeling unstable I decided to splurge.

    This mat is absolutely worth the money. I don’t use talc on my hands at all any more and I feel securely grounded even when I jump or invert. It won’t budge on a wooden floor either. The thickness is comfortable in tabletop position but when I put more pressure on a single knee I usually use a blanket. Having a more stable foundation has definitely helped me progress.

  20. Maryann6190 says:

     United Kingdom

    I love it, was wary at first due to cost and the fact I’d already bought two others, the first was two stretchy and thick the second was slippy and dangerous, this one is perfect, slightly larger but not a problem, comfortable and plenty of grip in downward dog, the basic markings are handy also for alignment.
    Any sweaty forehead marks disappear into the material and a quick wipe down discourages any build up on the surface which is what I’m guessing breaks down the grip over time.
    I’d recommend.
    Only thing people may find a drawback is it’s quite heavy in compassion to my other ones. However it doesn’t make a difference to me.

    After my old Gaiam yoga mat wore through and the rubber started peeling off I wanted to find a new one from a different place. After spending ages and ages looking through all different yoga mats, wanting something good quality. I decided to just pick one and I took a chance on this one. I’ve used it a few times now and it’s amazing, I’m so impressed and it’s true when it says it will improve your yoga practice and flow! The design looks great and it’s so grippy and doesn’t move at all. It’s 1mm thinner than my old one but it feels even thicker and so comfortable on my knees etc. Also a very good size and easy to roll up!

    I have been looking to purchase a new yoga mat for some weeks, and after a lot of deliberation and reading lots of reviews, I finally took the plunge and ordered the Yogi Bare Paws Extreme Grip Mat (in grey). I was not disappointed, I love my mat! The look and feel are lovely and the grip is fab, no slipping! I will go as far as to say it has improved my practice. I was a bit concerned about the natural odour of the rubber but it is not a issue. There is a slight odour but it seems to be fading each day and I actually don’t mind it especially as it is ECO Friendly.

    Great mat, doesn’t slip on the floor or under your hands/feet. The alignments are useful and look really pretty too. It smelled of rubber for a week though, but the smell is gone. When it gets greasy it slightly looses the grip, which I think it’s normal, but after cleaning it with lemon juice mixed with warm water, it regains good grip again.

    Great ma

    I was swithering to pay out for a quality yoga mat but the idea of paying 50-100 really stopped me however, after buying a few cheaper mats and never being satisfied, I took the plunge. Did research as I wanted the Ilform mat but really at well over 100 I just couldn’t justify my spend. This mat however looked similar and reviews seemed good so I bought one. Came really really quickly and frankly I am so glad I bought it as the difference was immediate. I am average at yoga but really enjoy it and this mat has enhanced that for me. Really excellent feel, you feel safe on it, not slippy or bumps up. Nice to do poses on, lie on and it’s quite a nice mat to look at as well (I got a red one). I am glad I spent the money and it does actually show in the quality of the mat.

    I have had this product since October 2018 and for the first 18 months it has been spot on, however within the last 2 months the grip has really started to go around either end of the mat where your hands and feet plant regularly. I have attempted to clean with lemon and warm water as suggested and gave it 2 days of drying but unfortunately the grip has not come back. Shame because at first it was great, the design and lines allowed alignment during the practice.

  33. ChandaYNHpsbbih says:

    So already have a mat which is too thick so keep falling over. Really thought about mats and looked at all reviews and prices.
    Decided to go with yogibare paws. I liked that it had markings to help your stand and the great reviews.

    Been using it everyday since I received it and I love it. No slippage feels great under feet and it helps keep you in proper alignment when exercising.
    Great value for money. Bought cheap ones and decided to go for a more expensive one. At 68 I thought this was a bargain, now I know what I was missing.
    If your unsure, don’t be you won’t be disappointed buying this mat.

    I am really happy with this purchase! The grip you get through your hands and feet is far superior then any mat I have used before, allowing you to push harder and benefit more from each session. It may be slightly pricey, but I feel the benefits on my long term yoga form will be well worth it. I probably should have ordered a lighter colour as I do see white marks on my black one quite regularly, but they clean off pretty easily. I really can’t complain! It has a cool patterned design at both top and bottom of the mat to, as well as a very handy central line!!

    I am so glad I chose this yoga mat. I am absolutely in love with it. Had it for almost a year now and been using it 3-4 times a week yet it didn’t loose its shape or grip. I have been taking it to hot yoga classes as well and it is 100% non slip. It is not cheap but so worth it. I also love the fact it is bio-degradable.

    Great quality mat
    Spent a lot of time looking at different mat options and wasn’t too keen on spending more than 50Gbp on a yoga mat – especially when buying online.
    For me the grip was the key focus as well as the mat being long. Read reviews of this product and bit the bullet.

    So glad I did – due to the natural rubber the grip is off the scale. No matter if you are perspiring or not.

    Stop looking around – yes it’s not cheap. There is a reason for it. get this mat. You won’t regret it.

    This yoga mat looks good and is very non slip but I think for the price you pay the least you could provide is a strap to carry it around. It’s a little heavy and bulky so you definitely need a bag or strap to transport it. After paying 86 you dont really want to pay out anything else. Other than that I would recommend for sure !

    Fantastic grip, beautiful design, and arrived 2 days early which was a pleasant surprise. Couldn’t be happier with it. Just a warning though: it’s quite heavy so be aware of that if planning to carry it around often. They have a travel one which is lighter and might be better suited to someone constantly on the go.

    I love this mat. It did have a strange smell when it arrived (which I was prepared for after reading other reviews) but it went after about 3 yoga sessions. It does leave a temporary mark for sweat etc but dries fine. For the price I would highly recommend.

  49. KerrieCampos says:

    I love this mat.
    Far and away the best one I’ve owned and practised on to date. Having spent a stupid amount of money searching for my perfect practise partner, I’ve at last found it and it wasn’t even the most expensive.
    For the record, I’ve owned a Liforme mat and a Manduka Pro. The YogiBare Paws mat for me is above those.
    The grip is excellent. In Downward Facing Dog you are NOT MOVING. I don’t practise hot styles of yoga but my hands do sweat and on other mats I have slipped unless using a mat towel. On my Paws mat, no towel needed. So no fidgeting with a moving towel. I can simply be in the moment and really focus on my practise. I honestly didn’t realise how much I was fidgeting with a towel until I didn’t need one anymore.
    The paws mat for me is a comfortable thickness. I practise Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin styles.
    Rubber mats do show sweat marks but they fade and it’s not a big deal.
    I clean mine once a week with the lemon juice/water recommendation that comes on the mats wrapping.
    I’ve discovered that YogiBare are a company with ethics and great customer service. I’ll continue to support this brand.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI received my new Yogi-Bare yoga mat only a couple of days ago. It was well packaged, the mat itself with a thick protective film cover and then surrounded by crunched up paper in it’s Amazon cardboard box.
    The mat is as described. I have used it daily but as I have only had it several days cannot comment as to how long the lovely grippy surface with last. I do not practice hot yoga so can’t comment on how it fairs in this form of yoga practice. I chose the black option as I thought the other colour-ways may show marks more easily. It is a fairy weighty mat but that is fine for me as I wanted this for my home practice. I like the print which does have the central line demarkation and pattern for assistance in asana placement. Found the size of the mat ok as well – I am 5ft 6ins and at 4mm thick is just what I wanted. I have added a second photo to show the reverse of the Yogi-Bare mat. I have only used the mat on a carpeted floor so far (largest space available to me!), and the back too is nice and ‘grabby’ to prevent a lot of movement. On carpet there is a bit of movement I have to say but this is minimal and I’ve not found it a problem at all. I suspect without carpet there would be no movement at all. I feel I should point out that just turning the corner of the mat over to show the difference in texture of the top and reverse of the mat, there was a small foldline in the rubber top afterwards though this disappeared after 2 days. It means however, that it needs to be rolled away carefully after use. I would imagine the mat would suffer if left for a few days with a fold in it. Rolling up the mat after using is easy though and once rolled, the mat holds this position well without a strap or bag, though as the mat doesn’t come with either of these, you would have to purchase one if you did want to travel with it.
    With only having the Yogi-Bare mat such a short time I have not needed to clean as yet of course but the reverse of the label tells how to do this with lemon juice (added image of the label’s instructions on this review for reference).
    I love my new Yogi-Bare Paws natural rubber yoga mat and hope that the wonderful grippy surface and indeed the mat itself. lasts me. Great mat, delivered very quickly and although it’s not been in my possession long, would happily recommend it too.

    Love this mat!

    Having just started I bought a very think mat which was hopeless for balancing. This mat is very useful and sturdy. I did cut a chunk off my thick mat for anything that requires a while on your knees but my knees are very fragile and shouldn’t be necessary for the average person. I believe it is good value for money as well.

    Been wanting to review the yogi bare mat for quite sometime as it’s an awesome mat for the price. I was double minded when I read reviews about fishy smell on the yogi mat and didn’t want to go for the liforme mat as it was double the price.
    lets get to the review, 41/2months since I have been using the yogi mat and I use it thrice a week and still non slippery. I do vinyasa yoga, hatha yoga and body balance and The mats still got very good grip even if you sweat. Haven’t used it for hot yoga, so can’t comment on that.
    It did have the rubber smell the first two weeks and it fades out by the end of second week. All natural rubber mats have that smell in the beginning and eventually fades. Just like, if you own a new pure leather jacket.
    I have had no fading of the designs or even marks on the mat.
    The cushioning is perfect for me but I guess if you have a knee issue you could have an old mat underneath to keep it clean and a bit of extra cushioning.
    Cleaning, just wipe down the mat with a cloth soaked in warm water.

    This was purchased as a birthday present for my husband who recently fell in love with yoga. I have the same mat in different colour so it was an easy decision to make when choosing one for him – the grip is amazing, the mat stays flat on the floor (without rolling up corners), its a little bigger than most and has a pattern which helps with alignment for most postures.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI treated myself to this mat recently and it’s my first proper yoga mat ever (before I was making do with an awful foam excersise mat).
    The difference is so amazing. I can actually focus on different postures without having to keep re-adjusting and worrying that I’m going to slide out of them!
    I spent SO long researching yoga mats. But having read lots of reviews and watched lots of videos I came to the decision to get a Yogi Bare because it’s a UK based company and half the price of another highly rated mat (with probably no real difference, apart from design).
    I’m thrilled. It’s great. Sticky, great design, fantastic quality and makes a huge difference.

    Golden Review Award: 84 From Our UsersSo I spent a long long time comparing mats before opting to buy this one. I do yoga every morning and have used a number of different mats over my time practising which has allowed me to refine my preferences which are as follows:

    Price – Its hard to part with large sums of money when so many mats are available for around ten pounds. A ten pound mat will get you started if you aren’t committed yet. I was looking to spend between 30 and 50, I still cannot justify in my mind paying over 100 for a yoga mat. This mat appears to have all the premium features at a decent price.

    Thickness – I’ve had thicker mats before and found them too cushioned. I’m not doing HIIT workouts on the mat and I don’t suffer with knee pain or wrist pain, so I was looking for a thinner mat so I can feel the connection solidly with the ground. This is the perfect thickness for me without feeling too thin.

    Non-slip – this is probably the NUMBER 1 concern. All my other mats have left my hands slipping in a good down dog. Every mat I read the reviews on had at least one person complaining about grip, so in the end I had to go with a mat that had a high number of positive reviews. So far I have only had a chance to lay the mat out and quickly test it, but I did this in socks and did not slip one tiny bit. The hands were solid. One of the reviews I read said that the grip wore out, so I will endeavour to update this review in a month and then after 6 months.
    UPDATE: After a solid first use I am very pleased with the non-slip grip, my hands didn’t move at all even when I pushed deeper into my down dog which puts a lot of horizontal force into the mat. The mat also very importantly did not stretch which is another issue I’ve had before.

    Weight & portability – not a factor for me as its for home practice. This is a solid feeling mat though and not what I would call lightweight. It also does not come with a carry strap/bag so you would need to buy a strap or bag. It does however roll up very tight and doesn’t try to spring open like other mats, so its easy to store and doesn’t need straps to hold it in the rolled up position.

    Size – I’m 6ft and this mat is perfect for me. No concerns here.

    Extras – this mat has lines on it. This is a new thing for me and I’m not sure yet how useful it will be, but I’ll update on how well they last. Worse case I’ll get a sharpie out!
    Eco! I prefer an eco option when available so another bonus for me.
    Smell – some people have reported a strong smell. I have had no such issues at all.

    TL;DR: Great mat, non-slip and well made. You won’t regret this purchase

    Updates after using for 2 weeks:
    You know a mat is good when you don’t think about it. The mat works so well that my practice just flows without interruption, at no point am I aware of the mat, I just feel solidly grounded in ways that no previous mat has done for me.
    I have had a couple of outdoor sessions and it has rained on me – the mat does show up water and grease marks very strongly, but they seem to fade on their own accord after 24 to 48 hours. I’m yet to wash the mat and so far don’t feel the need.
    I have also travelled twice with the mat – it rolls up a lot tighter than a lot of mats which is great. It doesn’t suffer from any memory effect after being rolled up and lies totally flat as soon as it is rolled out. At this point I can honestly say I don’t think I will ever be considering another mat in the future, I am a converted long term customer!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGreat quality mat if you prefer a thinner mat. My wife is a yoga teacher and prefers this to her Manduka ProLite. Grip is top class and helps you feel strong in your postures.

    Love this matt, it’s very sticky and great for holding poses like 3 leg dog where slipping could cause injury. It does show a little sweat but that fades fully and grip doesn’t falter.

    Shame it doesn’t come with a bag but for grip and alignment it’s a great mat. Takes a couple of weeks to get the mat perfectly flat but same performance as lifeforme at half the price.

    Amazing yoga mat. Used it a few times now and it’s very sticky! Your hands and feet have grip but are able to move from pose to pose easily. I’ve never used a Liforme but this is surely as good. Nice centre lines too and has both top and bottom patterns to help positioning. Not too heavy to carry around either!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAmazing mat!

    The grip is phenomenal and I’m a sweater! I have never felt so secure on a mat. My practice has improved exponentially since owning it as I can trust my mat to keep my steady when I push myself deeper into asanas. After feeling overwhelmed with the choice of yoga mats available, I could not be happier with my choice. The thickness is perfect for balancing and it effectively cushions to support asanas even when held for a long time in Yin yoga.

    I would recommend it to anyone! I love it!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI love this mat, it’s really nice. I stick like glue to it making warrior, wild thing and inversions a breeze. Super colour and I love the patterns, I can see easily if I’m aligned straight from the lines and boxes.

    It does smell a bit when it’s new and takes a good month for the plasticm rubber smell to go.

    It’s slightly padded but not overly like some sponge or foam mats.

    I was a bit weary of spending so much on a mat but after reading reviews thought I’d give it a whirl and am glad I did. Love it!

    Really nice mat, dont slip at all when using it, if anything it could be too grippy as when you have to rotate on it, it can pull your skin but I’d much prefer that than sliding everywhere.

    The best yoga mat I’ve ever tried! So grippy, my hands didn’t move at all even when sweating lots! Lovely pattern and colour, mat isn’t too thick so easy to balance but thick enough to be comfortable and enjoy savansa! Would recommend to anyone. Proud to say I’m a yogi bare!

    I am new to yoga and this is first propeer yoga mat I bought. I am not dosappointed, I spent a good bit of time researching yoga mats (materials, sizes, thickness) and that was exlellent chice. Hold in place and absorbs sweat so you stay in place, design is nice and helps you ensure your hands/legs position on mat is right. I was worried it might smell of rubber but it doesn’t (or it is a scent that dosn’t bother me, I guess it like when some people hate fake tan scent and it dosn’t bother me what so ever).

    Nice grippy mat and should last longer and be easier to keep clean than the standard issue ones. Its a wee bit heaver than a normal mat and I would be inclined to take a wee towel for extra padding than want to fold this one up.

    I love this mat. It’s really helped my balance doing yoga. I love the design too. The only reason I haven’t given it five stars is that it marks easily.

    I am very pleased with this mat. It grips the floor tightly and does not move. My hands and feet stay securely in position without slipping. The only slight downsides are that it is quite heavy at 2.5kg and it is easily marked with sweat, although the stains do wipe off. The alignment markings are very helpful.

    Love my Yoga mat, I don’t slide as I used to on the gym mats. The design is unique wish Amazon did more colours. It doesn’t come with a bag so I bought one which fits perfectly.

    For 50% less than the market leader it is lovely. No slip and I feel confident that my hands and feet aren’t going to slip all over the place. One thing is the distinct fishy/rubber smell. If someone could tell me how to get rid of it, the mat would be 5 star.

  82. Anonymous says:

    One thing the brand does not emphasise enough is that it is super grippy even when performing intense yoga that gets the sweat flowing.

    Grey colour does show the sweat though as I imagine the red one does but aesthetically the grey is easier to see the marking for posture checks.

  83. DianeDarke says:

    Great mat I bought the proforme I think it’s called also with the markings around 100 pounds which is also amazing and a big bigger width and length but this is more stable and equally as grippy if not more. Much better value product. The markings on other one are better they could do with trimming down the patterns on this one to something similar. The markings are very helpful though for alignment when beginning I guess until your muscle memory remembers where you are

  84. NiamhDeGroot says:

    Excellent and comfortable for both grip and padding. It is true you can smell the rubber at the beginning but it fades away with use and in any case, you can smell it only when with you’re facing down nose on the mat so not that severe in my view

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI wanted to spend a bit more money on a decent yoga mat, after my cheap ones falling to bits.

    I’m so glad I chose Yogi Bare! It feels so high quality and looks amazing. There’s absolutely no slipping (which was a problem for me previously).

    It’s a bit on the heavy side, but if you’ve got a carry case or a strap for carrying to class its not an issue at all.

    Also, when doing child’s pose, the natural oil in my skin leaves a print on the mat! But it can be wiped off with a soapy cloth.

    The mat is easy to clean, the natural rubber smell subsides if you leave the mat open for the first couple of days.

    Really love my new mat, would recommend it to anyone! A great substitute for those who want a high-quality mat but don’t want to splash out on a Manuka/super expensive mat.

    The delivery service was good; the product arrived on time. The yoga mat is certainly non-slip. I’ve used it a couple of time in my yoga class since I received it. It’s comfortable with just the right amount of cushioning for the knees. It is, however, a little on the heavy side and a little too non-slip maybe, which makes sliding from one yoga position to another a little ‘sticky’. I hope with time, its use will become smoother.

  87. Jordan Pearson says:

    Really happy with this yoga mat. I wanted one with good grip as I find my hands can slip on others. Only downside to this mat is that it marks really easily, so when in child’s pose with your forehead on the mat you leave behind a mark.

    i now have a good collection of mats, this is one of my favorites, its light but does the job, still slip but not as much as i do when using some other mats that says non-slip

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersFantastic yoga mat! If you are looking for a grippy yoga mat where you won’t slip when sweaty then this is the mat. It’s like another well know brand of grippy rubber yoga mat but for a much better price. Since I’ve had this mat my practice has improved as I’m no longer worrying about slipping, I can just concentrate on my yoga practice. I’ve used this mat every day since I received it, it’s fantastic. Points to note, as it’s made from rubber, it smells quite strongly of rubber when you first open the packaging. I resolved this by keeping the mat rolled out and over time the smell does go. Also you will get marks on it from oils in the body and if you have creams or lotion on the skin, which is normal with rubber mats. Don’t let this put you off as it really is a great mat and worth every penny. Yogi Bare also seem to have a great company ethos and the mat is eco friendly too, what more do you need?

    Over the past 3 years I’ve tried 4 or 5 different mats all of which promise to be slip free. This is without doubt the only one that actually lives up to the promise. I cannot stress how good it is to feel completely secure on the mat. It improved my practise immediately, I was really amazed by the difference. I can’t imagine any Yogi would regret buying this mat.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI have only been doing yoga since the beginning of the year but brought myself a yoga mat and to my dismay just kept slipping in my downward dog which was really disconcerting especially as a newbie. Now I’m getting into it more I wanted something where I felt confident and after reading lots of reviews on lots of different mats I found Yogi-Bare and I have to say the mat is amazing and stick like glue! There were a couple of comments regarding sweat marks on the mat and yes that does happen but actually the mat doesn’t stay pristine for long anyway with use and carrying it around so it’s not that much of a problem. I would definitely recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersTotally in love with this mat. Have had it out twice since it arrived a few days ago and it is all that I want in a mat. Spent quite a bit of time before I opted for this one rather than a dearer one and certainly have no complaints so far. Already feel that the alignment marks have helped me improve my technique. Who knows might even buy a couple more as Christmas presents. Oh and the main reason I like it – my main problem – no slipping.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGood mat with exceptional grip. Printed lines very useful for checking alignment during practice. Stays rolled so no real need for strap or carrier bag.
    Thickness ideal as allowing to feel sturdiness of floor to avoid wobbles during balance poses but still comfortable for relaxation.
    Only downside is the weight, but if it’s not for traveling, it’s fine. Also, some of the print has smudged a bit, even after only 2 sessions.

  94. KandiceNoblet says:

    This is a heavy mat and and very sticky, even with sweaty hands. I’ve used this for Yoga and Body Balance classes and love it. I don’t have to worry about slipping when moving between positions and it gives me enough cushioning to protect my creaky knees. The alignment lines are really useful. It smelt quite strongly of rubber when I first in wrapped it but 2 weeks later the smell has almost gone.

  95. BeaBastowgfov says:

    Excellent NON-SLIP yoga mat. I’d been looking for one that I wouldn’t slip on, as even the ones claiming they are non-slip when you spray with water were definitely not! This one feels like a smooth rubber and is very comfortable. I can still move into postures but I do not slip in things like down dog leg lifts or warrior. It’s not as pretty as some mats but I’ve found the lines on it really help with alignment in postures. My only criticism is that it marks a bit were I’ve put my forehead and chin as my skin is slightly oily.

  96. DouglasCostanti says:

    This is the mat I was looking for. It has excellent grip – because of the rubber surface it is really non-slippery, even when your hands are sweating. It is quite heavy but it stays on its place all the time. The only minus is that in some poses oily marks from my skin stay on the mat… Apart from that is perfect and I wouldn’t change it for any other mat.

  97. Emilie says:

     United Kingdom

    The only reason why I did not give a 5 stars is because when your face/forehead gets a little oily when you start sweating and when your on child’s pose for example it stays on your mat, it looks like there’s spots otherwise the grip is excellent considering my hands and feet can get really sweaty during practice.

    My friend and I bought serve yoga mat which describe as “NON SLIP “, include famous Brand mat, but all of them feel still slippy.
    Yogi-Bare it has rubber surfer, it is really NON-SLIP even hands are sweating.
    the pattern is beautify as well.

    We are very happy with this yoga mat and the price as well.

    We Love It!

    A very nice yoga mat. Some mats are a bit short for me (6’2″) but this one is perfect. The surface keeps excellent grip even with sweaty hands. This is the first mat I’ve used with alignment markers and I really like the extra information it gives me.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI practice yoga at home and have only ever bought cheaper mats but I decided, after several years of slippy, stretchy, foamy mats, it was time to bite the bullet and invest in something a little more expensive. I must admit I was worried this mat wouldn’t be much different to the ones I’ve bought before but oh my goodness! This mat is much better. I don’t perspire much so I wondered if the grip would be good enough but it’s fabulous and the pattern does wonders for my alignment without looking unattractive. I’m so pleased I bought this mat… and to make matters even better, it came in a day! I’m a very happy yogini.
