Gaiam Yoga Mat - Premium 6mm - Camo

I love this yoga mat. I actually have owned it before, but accidentally left it in the car during a very hot day and the surface bubbled. I tried two other mats between my first purchase of this one, and then repurchasing it, but they couldn't even compare. This mat is excellent at nonslip during yoga. I get sweaty palms and feet during exercise, and sometimes the yoga classroom gets very warm, but this mat keeps me anchored in place without having to wear any special socks or hand grips. Great for balance. This mat has nice cushioning and thickness. My knees never hurt when I need to do kneeling activities. I cannot feel the floor, but it's not so thick that I feel unstable either. I never need extra padding. (In my late 30s). I have witnessed others with the same mat who are older, and they also never use additional padding. This mat is comfortable. This mat is absorbent but dries quickly. I've never had wet patches from sweat that last more than a minute. Always dry, never slippery. Good size. Anyone in the 5-5'10 foot range should be comfortable on this mat. (I am 5'4). Only thing I wish it had design -wise is a strap to hold it closed and for carrying. Otherwise, perfection. Would buy this again in a heartbeat.
