| Features• Eco-Friendly -- made in the U.S.A. sustainably with natural rubber, tapped from a rubber tree • Non-Slip -- open cell natural rubber provides great grip to help hold your pose • Natural rubber gives superior resilience and cushion • Through its partnership with Trees for the Future, Jade Yoga plants a tree for every mat sold
Excellent yoga mat!This is quite a wonderful mat. I needed a mat that had a very strong grip on it and I chose this mat for that reason. My hands and feet tend to sweat during practice and I don't move at all on this mat. Even in down dog, I am SO much more comfortable and can concentrate on my breath much easier without my hands continually slipping. I have the sedona red, and I think it is beautiful.
Pros: Durable, Eco-friendly, very non-slip, beautiful colors, comfortable, for every mat sold they plant a tree.
Cons: Heavy- but this doesn't particularly bother me. Must step off to the side to do certain balancing poses like Tree because the cushion makes it difficult to balance.
Overall, the cons don't bother me because I have not yet found a mat that works better for me than this one. I highly recommend this yoga mat. Read more...

Great concept, some issuesThis is a first generation product that has some issues. Here are my comments to help you decide for yourself if you should buy it.
The pluses:
- 28 illustrations of yoga poses
- Rounded corners seem more "finished" than square-cut corners
- Size is generous (24 in x 72 in)
- Velcro strap included (but no carry handle or bag)
- Density of the material is a bit above average (but mat is not thick)
- Reversible graphite/blue colors.
The minuses:
- Standard stink of most yoga mats. Unroll and let it off-gas for a week in the garage
- Thickness is mediocre - just a bit over 1/8 in. Persons using it on a hard floor might want a thicker mat
- No plastic recycling ID symbols on either side of the mat. (It is made from PTE.)
- Issues with illustrations and instructions. See below.
Illustrations probably appeal most to the beginning student. However, there are mistakes (11/09).
* The Plough pose is misidentified as Shoulder Stand (The error is repeated on the women's mat)
* Instructions to hold Cat and Cow poses for 30-60 seconds contrast with the normal practice of moving from one to the other on each exhale and inhale
* Some poses are difficult for beginners and require instruction for safe execution.
An illustrated mat seems like an appealing gift for a beginning student. However, I would buy it for a beginner only if that person also obtained some guidance for safe execution of the more difficult postures (either from an instructor or a good DVD).
Bottom Line: An appealing concept with some errors in execution. Material is thin. MSRP of $49.95 is high ($30-35 for a TPE mat would we more reasonable). Not bad, but hopefully a second version will address some concerns. I personally would be inclined to buy more as gifts if a thicker version were available. Read more...
