Eco Friendly: Made of TPE ( Thermal Plastic Elastomer) and 100% pvc-free and latex-free
Embossed vertical alignment bar helps keeps poses centered and straight.
Lightweight and durable at 3.5 pounds, this mat is a great choice for traveling Yogini's
Dual-sided mat laminated together with pressurized heat to avoid toxic adhesives
Avoid direct sunlight exposure for long periods of time as it can accelerate the decomposition of TPE material
We made the Agile Eco Yoga Mat with these standards in mind: highly functional and durable, yet lightweight and biodegradable with a sense of fun and style. Functional characteristics include 2 grippy, patterned surfaces with embossed vertical alignment bar to keep you centered in straight when it matters. Made of recycleable Thermal Plastic Elastomer, and Latex-free, PVC-free. Size: 1/4" thick x 24" x 68"

I love this mat! I was really hesitant to buy a new mat since I had been using and loving my other mat for so long (a Baptiste sticky mat by prana) but it had holes in it so it was time. This mat is thicker, which makes such a difference in cushioning my knees in a low lunge and even my wrist bones in down dog. It doesn't feel sticky but I haven't slipped. I have learned to trust the amount of friction between my skin and this mat even though it lacks that sticky feeling. (I sweat easily but do not practice hot yoga.)
The vertical alignment bar really quite useful. I find it helpful for my set up in down dog as well as lunges and trikonasana. My only complaint is that the alignment bar isn't perfectly in the middle of the mat. It is off by about a quarter of an inch which is subtle but kind of bugs me visually if I'm having one of those days where it's hard to let go! The bar is still perfectly useful and I find I align with it rather than the edges of the mat so it doesn't matter that it is slightly off center.
I hand washed the mat when it arrived despite the fact that it didn't have an odor or a residue as far as I could tell.
I'm really happy this mat is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)since TPE is biodegradeable and recyclable....

*UPDATE*
Am so sad. Gave it a 5 the first time around.
After about two weeks it had divot marks in it, and then more, and more. Odd. It looks as if someone was wearing stilletos and walked on it leaving deep impressions.
Today I had to call to make arrangements to return it.
Have to go searching for the best yoga mat even though I thought I had found it.

This mat is the perfect thickness, and the line down the middle is perfect to help me line up. I wasn't sure what the line would look like, but it is simply a subtle change of mat pattern. I can see it just fine, but it isn't distracting.
I love that this mat is eco-friendly. I also love that it has NO AWFUL SMELL. When I took it out of the box I expected some kind of smell. None. I sniffed the mat. None. I rolled it out. None.
I looked at many different mats from a variety of companies and am very happy I went with this one....

If you sweat easily like myself, stick to the Yoga towel over your matt. This matt isn't anymore slip resistant than the sticky-matts for downward dog. Also, noticed that one side started to flake off on the edge after only one use.
HOWEVER, the 1/4 thick cushion is awesome. Especially for poses like the pigeon, locust, or bow (with the rocking). Great for Pilates & Yoga hard studio floors.
I went with this matt due to the thickness, eco-friendly materials, and testimony of the Yoga instructor above. Being a 10 year veteran of Yoga; the matt is better supported than the thinner matts...but I've yet to find a matt that keeps this sweaty beast from slipping....
