 False description of mat Oct 19, 2008
By B. Haines
"BHNatural"
Please note: If you're looking for a PVC-free yoga mat, which would otherwise be called "eco-conscious" or "eco-friendly", this is not it. Even though the description of the product says "eco-friendly", this mat is composed of PVC plastic (which is not at all good for the planet!). I have returned this item due to this!

this is a slip off Jan 27, 2009
By Liza Jane
I don't know about everyone else but my body produces moisture when I work out. So while I'm in my downward dog my hands slowly start slipping off this mat. This is my first yoga mat and I love the color, the design and the thickness but it is not giving me the grip I need at all. I'm glad it was only 20 bucks but that's still a slip off...I mean rip off. What is the point of the yoga mat if you can't hold the most popular yoga pose. Maybe yoga mats aren't supposed to be 100% slip proof. Who knows...

Very nice mat Aug 22, 2008
By Jane Dough
"Michelle"
I just got this mat, and it is very nice. It is quite sticky, and definately provides for great grip. I don't slide around at all. The design is absolutely fantastic!
This was my first 1/8 inch mat. I've always had the 1/4 inch thicker mats. I think this mat gives me a better grip while doing yoga on CARPET. You can feel the floor more, and feel more grounded. Definately worth a try if you're used to the thicker mats.
Just a warning, the smell of this mat will knock you out! When i first unwrapped it, i had to put it upstairs in an enclosed bedroom with the windows opened because it was smelling up the ENTIRE house. After 2 days in that room the smell was COMPLETELY gone, I didn't even wash it. I used it on the third day and didn't notice a smell at all. This is my 4th yoga mat, and they ALL smell, so that is just something that every mat does. (except maybe the eco mats, but I don't like the strange texture.)

 Gaim Yoga Mat Feb 08, 2009
By rose755123
The mat is great looking but I was disappointed in the thickness of it. My Mom purchased one at the local Target that was also a Gaim and it is of better quality. I read the reviews regarding thickness but there were different thicknesses local and the Gaim brand local have all been thicker than this particular one I received.

 Good mat Sep 08, 2009
By Mommy
I see people who are reviewing this mat as a workout mat and that is not what it was created for so I am confused. If you want a mat that will work with high impact workouts, then this is not the right product for you. This is a Yoga mat and that is all. I like the thickness of it, I do my Yoga on my carpet. Based on other reviews I immediately took the mat out of the package and unrolled it outside and washed it with dish soap and warm water. I just srubbed it some with a cloth and rinsed. Then I put it over my outside table and let it dry under my patio for a few hours. Once you take it out of the package the smell is horrible, as are all these type plastic products. After this I immediately used the mat. The smell is gone and I did not slip on my mat. I tend to slip around on other mats but that is probably because I never washed one before. From other reviews I saw that there is some type of coating on these things so the dish soap not only killed the smell, but it got rid of the coating. This mat is very nice looking and I enjoy using it. I would recommend this to people and tell them to just wash and air it out before it's first use.
