I spent some time looking up different brands before deciding on Gaiam, as I heard pretty good things about it. Not suprisingly (if you read the title of my review anyways) I found it a bit less than expected. I got it in the mail today and was very excited to use it for yoga. Perhaps unlike some delicate flowers that practice yoga I do sweat occasionally and my hands and feet kept slipping out from under me! That can be a bit precarious when your doing yoga and your face is close to a hard wooden floor. Now this is the first yoga mat I've owned; I have always used the yoga mats the gym provides and never had an issue with slipping. So this yoga mat either:
A) is slippery [and will never get better]
B) has some substance on it leftover from manufacturing that makes it slippery (**Note** This mat has an EXTREMELY strong chemical smell that you should probably let air out for a day before using.) [going to try and rinse it off]
C) may need to be broken in? [that sure takes time..]
Don't get me wrong, this mat isn't as terrible as using a gym mat for yoga (THAT is slippery!) but it's definately not great (especially for the price)....

Similar to another review, I find this mat to be very slippery. I've only used it a couple of times at this point, and I hoping that it gets better. But at this point it is really problematic as I start slipping as soon as I begin sweating.
Yoga mats have basically 2 purposes... to provide cushion and to provide traction. This misses the boat on 1 of it's 2 purposes. I wouldn't recommend this mat.

I love the color and the pattern of this mat.
The problem is it really smells. Before my first use, I put it in a small room with an open window for three days. The smell gets weaker. Then it was good to use.
