I have the yellow striped one. It's a nice thin and flexible mat and for the reduced price it's a good deal. I've had it for a couple of months and it still smells chemically however (only an issue when doing pushups).

Hopefully that will stop soon.
Not sure if I could live with any of these colors, but to answer your front page question, I started going with my wife after work a couple times a week.
I enjoy it quite a bit, though the first time I went to a hot yoga class, I thought I was going to die..

"Free of the six most harmful phthalates (6P-free)"

How about the next six?

@ThunderThighs, depending on where you're located you can hopefully find plenty of yoga studios in your area with a little research. Many offer a free trial when you first register with them. I suggest finding a few of those that offer free or donation-based classes and take advantage of the opportunity to experiment with different teachers while it's cheap.

YOLO was popularized by a hip hop song that now has far too many people convinced that "You only live once" is a brand new phrase when in reality it's probably something your grandparents used to say.

The only innovation here is Adam Mesh turning it into an annoying acronym/clothing line in 2004, though it was the song that apparently caused it to catch on as a meme.

The first six are free, after that it's cash only.

I agree.
And I know a lot of purists do not approve, but we enjoy being members of CorePower.

Check your local YMCA, city or township recs frequently have smething, even my library out in the boonies has $5 classes a few times a week. Out where I live (rural) you won't find a yoga studio and rarely a gym but you will find yoga classes in odd places as long as they have an open room. If you aren't having luck ask a local dance studio or health products store. Try to put into a search engine yoga classes and your city or town too.

Enjoy!
