I love the design, and I get tons of compliments on it. Unfortunately, it's still pretty slippery after about a month of use. As much as I love this mat, I would only recommend it for lighter workouts.

I'm editing this review to add that it has also become discolored after only about three months of use. It really shows wear fast -- next time, I'll be buying a darker mat....

i bought this mat and used it on some extreme yoga: outdoors in the sand and tire flipping, and it worked great. the smell is like any other brand new plastic. as for it loosing its grip after the sand session all i needed to do was wash it with soap and water and it regained its grip. i had to leave this mat behind to a friend because i was moving but here i am buying exactly the same one again. the design is great to fit my personality....

I use to own this mat and put it through a LOT of use, at least 3-5x a week of yoga classes (all sorts, vinyasa/ashtanga/bikram). It did fairly well -wasn't slippery, I didn't slide much and for most poses the thickness of the cushion was enough. It also wasn't too heavy so it's a good portable mat to have if you plan on bringing it with you for classes right before/after work. However after about half a year of heavy usage for me, the mat did start to slowly deteriorate and crumble at certain areas where the hands and feet are in contact usually (it might be from your nails grazing on it). Still usable but it just doesn't look very nice when small holes on the mat where pieces crumbled off starts to appear.

It's a really great looking mat though, I loved the subtle gray color and large peony pattern -it was very pleasant to practice yoga on. If you're planning to use it on a light to medium basis, then I think this would be a great mat for the price. However, if you're a regular yogi who will be relying on your mat a good few times a week, then I'd suggest a different mat to invest in since you spend so much of your time on it!...
