(More customer reviews)I have been practicing Hatha yoga for almost a year now. I noticed everyone had these towels but didn't appreciate how great they are! If you sweat a lot during your class, you probably slip on your mat - this eliminates that hassle and allows you to practice and sweat without a problem. Another added bonus is that your mat stays clean. Even if you have an old mat, you are better off extending the life of your mat by buying a yogitoes to put on your mat. Throw them in the wash and it's that easy. I sugggest NOT drying them though. I dried one of mine and it doesn't stick to the mat as well anymore. It air dries very fast so there is no need to put it in the dryer. Also, wash them alone. They tend to bleed in the wash for SEVERAL washes - and if you wear light colored gear to class and sweat a lot, it might get on your clothes in class too - especially with the red towel. I had no problems with the green one. There is NO drawback to this product - it just rocks.

Product Description:
This Yogitoes Skidless premium yoga towel is the only towel created specifically to prevent slipping while practicing yoga. The towel works intuitively: simply place the side with the silicone eco nubs face down on the yoga mat or low-pile carpet. Once you distribute your weight in a yoga posture, the eco nubs start gripping the mat, thus keeping your hands or feet from slipping in mid-stretch. The towel's 80 percent polyester and 20 percent nylon material, meanwhile, is super absorbent, thus putting a hygienic layer between you and your exercise equipment. The towel, which is machine-washable and dryer-safe (it's designed to dry fast), measures 24 by 68 inches.

(More customer reviews)I first bought one (blue) for my husband. We were both impressed with the thickness, stickiness, and extra length. I immediately ordered a red mat for myself, and am very pleased. I have a sensitive nose, and did not find the new mat smell offensive, just smelled a bit like rubber at first. The scent was gone after a couple of uses. Much better price than what I have seen in yoga studios.

Product Description:
Yoga Monster mat goes Eco!For those who want a more eco-friendly mat, our fantastic Yoga Monster mat is now environmentally friendly.We call it Clean PVC tm an eco friendly yoga mat made of PER (Polymer Environmental Resin), which is a unique material that is more sensitive to the environment and your health than yoga mats made of standard PVC foam.This mat does not contain toxic phthalates, dioxins and furans, phenal, or heavy metals and has a ecologically safer method of production which is better for the workers and the environment - and most importantly it performs great for all types of yoga with excellent traction and cushion!
Why should you be concerned about exposure to Phthalates?Because phthalates have been linked to a variety of health problems including endocrine disruption, obesity, diabetes and allergies.Studies from many continents indicate serious toxicity and health problems due to phthalate plastizers found in consumer products.Common plastics, such as pvc foam used in typical yoga mats can contain 10% to 60% phthalates.Phthalates migrate to the surface of the mat over time and use which increases phthalate concentration on the yoga mat surface.Our CleanPVC tm yoga mats are SGS certified tested to non-measurable levels and far exceed the strict European phthalate standards.Using our CleanPVC Yoga Monster mat you can forget about phthalates and heavy metals and simply relax and enjoy your yoga practice.

(More customer reviews)A yoga mat is really the only thing that you tend to use on every yoga workout. It cushions your feet and gives you stability during some of the stretching moves. This mat is a full 1/4" thick and provides great cushion for your yoga routines.
First, a note about all yoga mats. Because of what they are made of, they tend to have a chemical type of smell when you first get them. This is normal! You simply air them out for a few days, perhaps wipe them down with soap and water, and this will dissipate. It's like breaking in a new pair of boots - you have to go through that initial phase.
I found the mat to be really wonderful. It is cushiony enough that it supports me in a variety of poses, whether I'm standing, kneeling, laying down, stretching. It is far better than doing yoga on a bare floor - whether that might be wood, stone, carpet or whatever. The cushion is really important for many poses.
Even though it has that nice cushion, it is also stable too. You feel quite firmly planted when you are doing balancing positions. It's not like you are trying to balance on top of a trampoline.
The mat is a good middle ground between "resistant to sliding" and "too sticky". You can readjust your feet when you need to - but if you want to plant your hands, it helps keep your hands in place.
I also really like that the mats comes in a wide variety of colors. People are more likely to exercise if they really like their exercise equipment. If you love green, go for green. I got the light lavender and really like it. To me it is calming and relaxing. Whatever color energizes or relaxes you, you probably can find it here.
The mat might be a little bulky to carry around with you, but you can get a lighter mat for use when you travel. This one is just perfect as an at-home mat, to really give you a solid base for whatever level of yoga you are currently at.
Highly recommended!

Product Description:
At 6.2mm, the YogaAccessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat is a full 1/4'' thick, an extra long 74'', weighs almost 4 lbs, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. The mats come in a variety of colors that are strong and vivacious, but not overpowering in their brightness. This well-made exercise mat will add comfort to your yoga workouts. And because of its high quality, this deluxe mat will last longer than most standard foam mats. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4'' mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat. These ''knock-off'' mats are shorter and weigh less, indicative of their inferior quality. A thicker non-slip mat is good for all types of yoga, especially for restorative poses. Reward yourself and your body with an Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat, and see why this is the most popular sticky mat found in yoga studios, schools, fitness clubs, and at home!
Looking for a unique yoga mat? YogaAccessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mats are also available in the Chakra Series or custom printed with your own logo or design -- in the same vibrant colors that make our yoga mats so appealing.

(More customer reviews)I bought this yoga mat about a month ago and have used it over a dozen times already. As soon as I got the mat in the mail I opened it, washed it with soap and water and hung it to dry for two days. This is something my teacher recommended as she says it helps because new mats tend to be less sticky and washing helps break them in faster. The first couple of times I used the mat it was still a little slippery. My hands slid out alot when I was in downward facing dog, but the mat seems to be improving with time. That's why I am waiting to write this review. I love the mat; it's breaking in very well. The thickness is really nice especially when doing boat and when rocking on the spine...I don't feel the floor and therefore no pain. The extra length is also nice...it gives me more room. All in all it's a great mat, and for the price it's even better. And I loved the color selection. I went with burgandy and my unique color sticks out in class...helps me find my mat if I leave the room and come back, and it also helps me in the locker room when there are 3 dozen women with mats (mostly pink I might add). Great mat, highly recommended...just give it time to get broken in!
