Yogasana Organic Cotton Yoga Mat - Non Slip Hand-Woven Foldable Yoga Rug Provides Excellent Comfort, Traction & Support - Travel Extra Thick Yoga Mats for Indoor & Outdoor Use - 24 x 72 Inches

Grateful for this yoga rug. It’s beautifully crafted, I don’t slip at all, and have been able to comfortably use it on my studio’s wood floors without anything underneath. It’s light to carry and a good length. There was a slight odor upon opening but I washed it on gentle, hung it to dry, and it was gone. I’ve washed it a few times now and it’s holding up perfectly. I feel like I will happily practice on this rug for many years.

This mat is absolutely beautiful and everything I hoped it would be. Not too soft, not too hard -- it's comfortable for my long restoratives but I can also do crow pose on it and keep my balance during sun salutations. It looks so great that I feel OK with leaving it unrolled in my living room. I love that it's completely handmade and the brown color suits me perfectly (vata dosha). Check out the video on their website that explains the effects of the different colors.I'm attaching a picture but it doesn't do it justice. It looks different in different lights and even in different poses.Not sure I'd recommend it for a beginner to learn on and it wouldn't be right for someone that needs a lot of padding. Though I think it would work fine to place it on top of another mat.

I just love having this mat for my daily practice. It is perfect for many types of personal fitness. The handmade texture is woven to perfection. The natural ridges of the weave help me to experience a deeper connection to the peace and harmony within. The color "Water" is calming and balancing to my spirit as it the varying hues of blue transform the environment with peace. If you do Yoga, Qigong or any type of fitness that requires a mat, this is the one to have. Cleaning it is so simple, just machine wash and air dry for complete freshness, the size and color never change. There is nothing fake about this mat that is produced with such great ethical fair trade standards.

I wanted a mat that was longer and that I could wash easily, I heard cotton yoga rugs were the way to go. After first use before washing it, I pressed both my forehead and chin to the mat and wound up with indentations in both places for a full 24 hours. Thought washing it would maybe make it softer, so far... no dice. Got yoga knee cushions for my knees and any poses that require my face to be in the rug. Love the length for my 5'6" long limbed body type though. I'll still use it, just wish it was softer. Very well made.

The mat itself is great quality and I wanted to love it. But there is a toxic mothball like smell that doesn’t wash off. I’ve tried washing it 4 times now.

My mat needed to be washed three times before it could be used due to the purple dye running. If you get this one, I strongly recommended reading up on how to stop colors from running with cotton items. Since I purchased it, I have learned this is a common issue with cotton mats.The mat is not soft but it gets better with each wash. Other reviews thought this was a negative but I was neutral on it. If you want a softer mat, I recommending getting a rubber mat.The quality of the stitching is ok.The thickness of the mat is perfect. The description states it is thick but I would consider it medium.The color is very good. Even after the dye ran on the first two washes, I still liked the purple color.On a wooden floor, the mat can move significantly depending on the yoga class. I am going to try spraying the bottom of the mat with a little water to get better traction. Outside, the mat works much better.I am not sure whether I would buy this mat or any cotton mat again due to the lack of grip on a wooden floor.

This is such a solid matt that I ordered a second one, and now I can make what is close to a large square. Thick and durable without being too heavy. Rolls up smaller than expected. The natural material is superior to foam/rubber in every way with the added benefit of electrical grounding.

I finally splurged and am very happy I did; this is a nice mat with a great feel and looks like it will last for many years. As others have noted, I had to adjust some movements to avoid sliding quickly across the surface (ouch!), but that same texture keeps me from slipping even when sweaty and gives the mat a nice durable feel. Love the color and the variation--gives me a different meditative experience each time I use it. Width is average, maybe a little wider than an average mat, but length provides extra room, which is perfect because my dog usually joins me. On the pricey side, but I would still recommend. I love it so far.
