When I set out to buy a new yoga mat, I really wanted something that would hold up under a rigorous 4-days/week yoga "habit" - prior to this I bought the "el cheapo's" at the local store and they were perfectly fine for beginning and gentle pace. But when I joined more rigorous yoga classes, those did not hold up and peeled, and slipped and and and. I am very happy with my purchase. The mat did not have that yucky rubber smell associated with new mats. It did take a couple of weeks to break the mat in and get it to a non-slip state despite washing it first, but now it is fantastic. For those people worried about the slip factor for the initial break in period, a towel worked just fine.
Also, the thickness is great for practicing on hard floors and does not compromise the stability factor.

I really loved this mat at first. Yes, it was a little slick and smelly, as most new mats are, but after scrubbing with vinegar solution and letting it sit for a few days, the smell and residue were gone. The mat is soft and supportive, a good size for a taller person (I'm 5'11"), and non-toxic. The only drawback was that it was always kind of slick if my hands were sweaty (a problem in an 85 degree ashtanga studio - I can't even imagine doing hot yoga on this).
But after a few months, it began to shred where my feet are in a downward dog. It's been about 5 or 6 months of 3-5 practices a week, and dime-sized chunks are now missing. I leave class with blue plastic lint all over my pants and under my toenails (which I keep trimmed, thankyouverymuch).
In short, if you're doing a more relaxed style of yoga on a hard wood floor, this might be a nice cushy mat for you; it certainly feels great for savasana. But it is not durable under regular use, and it is not appropriate for a sweaty class....

The rubber that this mat is made of is just too soft. I practice hot room power yoga and sure this mat is non slip, but my hands and legs sink into the mat and stretch the mat out. Makes me feel like I am practicing yoga on a piece of cotton fabric....
