You’ll never go back to other mats
I’m somewhere between beginner and intermediate. I practice hatha 2x/week. I’ve had lower-end yoga mats from red-and-white-superstore my whole life. But, not after this mat.I was shocked. I didn’t realize the difference in quality. This is a beautiful investment that will make all the difference in protecting your joints and finding stability. The grip is unreal. No slipping in DD. There’s a rubbery smell, but it’s fading. The weight is heavier than cheap ones, but it will last a very long time. It’s my brand new baby and I love her.I scanned the whole internet, and picked this brand, which is also eco friendly. High quality for about $80 (this color was even less.) Spend the money and get one if you can afford it. You won’t go back.

One of the best yoga mats I’ve owned!
I love this mat! It’s very thin and nonslip so it’s really good for balance! It has a cute little frog sewed into it(a label). It’s perfectly nonslip and easy to clean after class. I love the color also. I got it in teal. My mat before this was too puffy and stretchy so it was affecting my balance and was stretching during certain poses. Will only buy manduka from now on!

A great upgrade to standard yoga mats
My old yoga mat finally fell apart after almost 15 years so I got an upgrade! Learned about this brand from some fellow students at my aerial school and decided to “have my husband buy it” for my Christmas present, haha. It has a bit of a smell when you first get it, it’s a bit harder to roll up than the standard thin foam mats, and it feels like it weighs a ton, but when I’m warming up it never moves and I never move on it. Firm but cushy, awesome color, and seems like it will last at least as long as my last one if not longer. Great addition to my workout gear. Very pleased, though the price is a bit hard to swallow.

Great deal on a great mat
My gym has an infrared yoga studio, and I do three types of classes there: Flow which is like vinyassa, Deep Stretch, which is exactly that, changing stretch postures every 6 minutes or so, and Restore, in which you just chill out. My gym also uses Manduka mats, straps, blocks and bolsters, so I felt that the quality would be there.Overall, I am very pleased with the mat, although as many have pointed out, you do have to let it air out to get the rubber smell out of the mat. Frankly, when I am doing child’s pose, I still smell rubber, but my face is down on the mat.The mat is very thin, but sturdy. It rolls easily to go to and from the gym. I was delighted to find it quite comfortable for Savasana considering how thin it is. It offers a lot of traction which is usually great, but sometimes I find myself sticking to the mat. All in all, I think this mat is well worth the price.

This is my second eKO mat. I now have a travel mat and one just for the house.
The only thing I wish was that it was thicker. 4mm is thinner I have learned. That said, I am keeping it. It is an excellent mat for yoga. It provides superior grip. I know my hands are not going to slip in down dog.I already own the eKOlite travel yoga mat. I love it. It stayed in my gym bag in the car so it was always handy. It is COVID now. I took it out of my car to use in the house because my house yoga mat wasn’t nearly the same quality.I purchased this one after forgetting to put my travel one in the car when I went away. There were no brick and mortar stores that had a yoga mat. I tried using a towel to do yoga while away. It didn’t work well at all.I wanted another eKOlite mat because my travel mat is 2 years old and is still in great shape and the stickiness works like the first day I used it I do clean it but not nearly as much as I should. I also chose the eKOlite because it is eco friendly, made from biodegradable non-Amazon harvested natural tree rubber. Another factor in choosing is the length. I am 5’7 and the 68 inch mats work well enough but I wanted something a little longer. The 3 inches of what this provides is exactly what I needed. I also chose this because of its superior grip.It does have a natural rubber scent when first used. I remember this with my first one. It did last a bit of time for the odor to go away. It does go away though.The 4 mm thickness is dense. It is not soft. I was concerned about this with my knees at first. I laid out Another more plush yoga mat next to this one and alternated between the two to see the difference. What I realized was my knee sank to the floor on the plush one not really providing me with much padding anyhow. The eKO mat is very stable under me. It feels the same no matter what pose I am in.

What a difference
I’ve used cheaper mats from Marshalls. This mat feels sllid and is grippy, I like a .25 inch mat. I’m very pleased.

I love my mat
It is definitely worth to invest in good yoga mat than to buy new one every couple months. I practice mostly hot and power yoga and finally I do not slip and feel confident!People wrote about a smell, mine has none…but I kept it opened for week after purchase befote using it, maybe this helped to eliminate the rubberrish odor.

Horrible mat
Mat has a bad rubber smell that’s not going away. I bought it because it was supposed to be best non-slip mat for hot yoga and I found the opposite to be true. My hands and feet kept slipping. There wasn’t much cushioning either and was very uncomfortable for my knees. This mat is going back.
