Some workouts demand more from your back and your mat. For demanding Ashtanga or power yoga sessions -- or simply extra cushioning -- the Gaiam® Premium Yoga Mat is twice as thick as the standard mat, with the same nonslip surface.

I bought htis mat thinking it would be great, it is a well known name brand of quality yoga products. Well, my first class using this mat was horrible. It is the most slippery mat you could ever imagine. Downward dog is the most challenging with this mat because your hands slip forward at record speeds! I had to adjust my hands so much that I eventually used one of the gym's mats over this one. You can get a great work out with this mat becasue of the amount of time you spend adjusting yourself. For the price you would think it would be a nice mat. I ended up buying a WONDERFUL mat by Nike for $19, its made with antislip material and comes in great colors! I recommend the Nike mat or any other mat than this one!...

So, I wish I had read the reviews on this item before I bought my Gaiam Premium Yoga Mat. My first down dog on this mat nearly ended in a face plant. As it comes out of the wrapper, it is slippery indeed. Note, I was using the mat with the "big bump," logo side up and the small bumps toward the floor.
After consulting with my teacher, I decided to give the mat one more chance but only after spraying both surfaces with Formula 409 and scrubbing thoroughly with a coarse Scotch Brite pad. That was enough to make the pad at least usable on a second try. Right now I plan to proceed with caution, but if I slip again this sucker is going back to the store.
Using a yoga mat would seem to be a no brainer, but not so in this case. If Gaiam plans to continue selling this model they need to include some instructions about how to prepare and place the mat for safe use....

Great padding for your shins and knees etc. Wash it to remove the initial slippery coating and it will be a terrific mat.
