Liforme Original Yoga Mat – Free Yoga Bag Included – Patented Alignment System, Warrior-like Grip, Non-slip, Eco-friendly, sweat-resistant, long, wide, 4.2mm thick mat for comfort

Delivers on its promises
I have used this mat for a week now, and it delivers the goods. Great traction, no slippage at all when sweaty, even in poses like Urdhva Dhanurasana (upward bow), which is where I’ve most often experienced trouble using lesser mats. It’s solid, too, providing a good stable foundation for jumping/floating transitions. The alignment markings weren’t a selling point with me, but I’ve been surprised to find how helpful they are. Even in a familiar practice (i.e., Ashtanga), I find myself making little adjustments for more symmetry. If there’s a downside to this mat, I would say it’s weight: I can definitely feel a difference in my yoga bag carrying this one as opposed to an ordinary foam-type mat. But totally worth it in my opinion!

The last mat you’ll ever buy
If I could give it 10 stars I would–for both the product and the customer service!! I have been practicing yoga for 4 years and I’ve been following Instagram yoga superstars for 3. When I first started seeing this mat pop up in their pics and videos, I thought the alignment lines were a great idea, but with my super sweaty (self and) practice, I always cover my mat w a towel and thought it was pointless. Then I saw the price and thought these people were crazy town. But since I started coveting this mat, I’ve spent 90 bucks a piece on 3 different mats. None of them offered what this mat does. Now…aside from the lines, they also claimed to remain super sticky, even through a sweaty practice, making the towel unnecessary. I thought that was absurd, and my other mats claimed the same thing and those claims proved false false false. But then I saw videos of people practicing on this mat, where the mat was clearly wet (it shows up the minute a drop of sweat touches it), and they were doing some pretty tricky/slide potential moves with no slipping. I decided to bite the bullet and ordered the pink one. No free shipping either. But I figured you get what you pay for. (I pay top dollar for my yoga clothes because they perform better. And I *thought* I was paying top dollar before for my top of the line mat–but seriously…in comparison, those mats might as well be the 10dollar mats you can get from a convenience store). Now, I eagerly watched my tracking–could not wait to get the mat. It was like Christmas in May!! The tracking said it was delivered, I raced home from work that day so the poor mat would not sit in the Florida heat for too long. I pull up to my house. No mat. I call Amazon, they check with the carrier and they confirmed delivery. I live in a gated community and really don’t have issues w packages disappearing (but I will say, my gate has been broken 8 days a week for the last month). ANYWAY. Amazon confirmed delivery and contacted the seller for me. Seller (a woman named Aimie with Liforme) contacted me the same day. She said she’d confirm delivery w carrier and get back to me. At that point I lost hope, emailed her back saying Amazon already confirmed delivery and carrier says they left it on my porch. I figured at that point they’d say “sorry, move to better neighborhood, your neighbors are thieves.” BUT THEY DIDN’T! Aimie sent me another one the next day! WHAT?! Amazing. 5 start service. Now back to the mat–I’ve used it 6 or 7 times now…wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fluke or there wasn’t some kind of special coating on it that wears off and you’re left with a slip and slide run way by the time you’re no longer eligible for a return. This mat is the real deal. They could probably charge double. Seriously. I sweat a lot. And during very sweaty practices this mat keeps giving me the traction I need for proper form. It’s hard to ground the outer edge of your back foot when it will slide off the mat if you lean any weight on it at all! This mat has changed my practice completely (already). I’m no longer finding myself putting all my weight on whatever body part can take it without sending me flying. Im more even, weight is better distributed, and I’m not constantly agonizing over alignment. I’ve also been able to practice at home without mirrors because I no longer need them for alignment guides!! (And I don’t wanna put this beautiful mat on the gross studio floor either lol). Anyway, this mat is magic. It really does what it says it does. I don’t know how I’ve gotten along without it. If you’re on the fence, go for it. You won’t be sorry.

As a 27 year old man I was always dismissive of yoga, viewing it as an excuse for women to wear activewear in any and all everyday scenarios without the need to change.This all changed after injuries forced me to access my body which led me to conclude I had the flexibility of a half-jointed scarecrow and was advised to give yoga a crack. Luckily I was eased into my first session through a lunch time class my work holds on a Thursday where the skill range wasn’t that high so they were patient in fixing any issues in form and I bloody loved it.It both challenged and relaxed me in a variety of ways and I discovered my stereotypical masculine view of ‘strength’ was no good here rendering me as helpless as a new born giraffe trying to find its feet for the first time. As the days passed and collected more classes under my belt my flexibility has improved, strength increased, and ability to do poses that I initially wouldn’t have wished on my worst enemy are finally within my grasp… but…In mildly warm rooms or a moderately fast flow class I release enough sweat to become a human humidifier. I’m talking gallons of the stuff, from fingertip to tip toe, blinding me, dripping from my nose, painting a mural of myself on the mat so future generations will know I was there – a modern day monument for all my sins and stretch sinews.Now, having decided to invest in my first yoga mat so I could practice at home in my spare time, and having experienced many a time my hands slide forward at the pace of a tectonic plate during downward dog, I knew I had to invest in a mat that would limit this or risk an inevitable face-to-floor collision. Ladies and Gentlemen – let me introduce you to the mat my girlfriend introduced me to that I’m now taking to credit for:Liforme.It’s been excellent so far – nice design, good grip, reasonably padded etc. The fact it comes with a bag is undeniably helpful because it is (surprisingly) heavy. I’m a stickler for detail and getting my alignment juuuuust right so having the markings really help save me time when my anal tendencies do take over.Chuck into the mix that it’s eco friendly and I basically threw my money at them.I know it is expensive but I’m an all or nothing kinda guy and understand the value of buying something that’ll last both in terms of it’s performance and keeping it’s ‘colour’ after drying out. Plus having used a foam type mat at work for a year I can see how quickly the grip has warn AND padding has diminished after just one use a week to an extend that when on my knees I feel like I’m back in primary school praying to the lord Jesus Chris on the wooden bench begging him to tell the priest to finish so I can make sure my knee caps haven’t fallen off (and so I could blast out a rendition of shine Jesus shine sharpish!).Over all a perfect product. Nice one Liforme.P.S. You will need a yoga mat towel for Hot Yoga to avoid slipping, no man made yoga mat alone could save you in a Hot Yoga classP.S.S. If I did have a complaint it is that it is TOO grippy and it picks up dirt from my laminated floor that I hovered and mopped two hours before reminding me of my failures as a domestic goddess.I hope this helps 🙂

Love it
