Pro Non Slip Yoga Mat Thick for Hot Yoga, Pilates, Workout & Home Gym

I LOVE this mat! I did my research and was going to get a MANDUKA until I read reviews on the IUGA. I ABSOLUTELY do no slip in hot yoga. I am an instructor and use my mat daily. I wasn’t sure I liked the longer length I really don’t need it and the mat only come in one length. As it turns out I like it. It popped up on a sale so I grabbed the opportunity thinking I could always keep it for a spare. It came in under 50.00! I chose grey but it’s really more of a dark charcoal closer to black. I don’t really care but to some that’s important. The other color choices were way to bright for me. As for curling just in roll the mat press it down and it relaxes in a few minutes. Don’t be late to class and you’ll be fine😉. Like any other mat I don’t keep it on my car in the extreme heat or cold. It gives me enough cushion for Pilates and yoga I am 68 and like a little cushion under these bones. Their customer service is fantastic I emailed them concerning the mat length to see if there was another option that I had missed. Cheri responded the next day and has even followed up just checking in. They really want their customers to be satisfied. All in all no smell, good cushioning, no slip, a little extra length, light weight, durable, affordable and the cute little bird Logo at the bottom is adorable 5 STARS.

I used to own a yoga mat from a different brand; it was the truly non-slip one, but it is not sold in the US. So started to look for something similar. It took me several days to search for one. A lot of yoga mats claim they are non-slip, but they actually aren't. Don't fall for it. So I was literally examining tons of yoga mats on Amazon by zooming in on the pictures; it was all I could do to find a real non-slip mat. When I received and tested this one a couple of times, I can assure you, THIS IS THE ONE. I can now again be confident in the downward-facing dog and not worry that my hands will be slipping apart. The thickness of 5 mm is okay, and if your knees don't usually hurt in general, the thickness is enough to support them (but I would still appreciate a thicker mat; 6 or 7 mm would be great). The great news is it is also lightweight (if you tried rubber mats, you know what I mean). So carrying it around is enjoyable and not uncomfortable at all. A great choice and would recommend it to everybody who practices yoga or just who needs a TRULY non-slip mat.

I have been debating about what mat to get for months!!! I hate to shell out a bunch of coin and then not know if I’m going to love the mat. I’m a new yogi. I’ve been practicing a little over a year. I do yoga at a studio and at a gym. Hot and unheated. For unheated yoga this mat is fantastic!!! It grips so well. It’s long and wide and just gorgeous. I haven’t tried it for heated, but I spilled a little water on it and it was kind of slippery. I would use a towel for hot yoga anyway since I sweat so much. Seriously cooking butt soup in my leggings at every hot practice. I know you’re jealous. But that’s neither here nor there! Let’s get back to the mat... I got the blue marble and it’s lovely. I often have make up remnants on when I practice and it leaves a smudge during child’s and some other poses. Wipes right off!!! Don’t even have to use spray, just a towel and it cleans right off. Does smell a little rubbery, but it’s not strong and it gets better with each use. I’ve been using about 5 times a week for 3 weeks. This mat is so light!!! My old mat weighed a ton. This thing weighs way less than a bag of sugar! The strap is a nice addition but I don’t love it. I’ll get something else eventually. Don’t wait. You are going to be so happy you bought this mat—at half the price of some of those other brands! 8/13/20 My original post was obviously gushing over this mat. Years later and you bet, I still love it! I just purchased another. This time in the navy blue. The lighter blue marble did eventually show marks from my hands and feet that wouldn’t wash off. Strictly cosmetic. I have used the mat for hot yoga—and without a towel—and it’s fantastic! But I do have to remember to spread it out so it can dry after as it does hold the sweat. I still stand behind my review. Order this mat. Life is so yucky right now. You can at least count on this being a great mat and you’ll be that much closer to a deep breath and a little sanity. Namaste.

EDIT November 2022: I really liked this mat at first but had to stop using it, and so I edited my review down to 4 stars. Though I cleaned and dried this mat thoroughly after each use, it is hard to get the smell out. I even scrubbed dish soap into both sides and hosed it down outside twice but it still smelled. I finally washed it in the machine a couple times and it made the surface bubble. Didn’t last very long. I recently switched to a cork mat and love it. I bought this mat after returning my Manduka GRP lite hot yoga mat and this one is much better, and much cheaper than the $115 option. It grips well while not being too sticky on my thighs when I roll through chaturanga/up dog. It is much lighter and thinner than the Manduka grp and other similar mats. I’ve been doing hot yoga for years and previously used a Manduka mat that had a suede-like top layer. I wanted to get a new one that I would not have to dry out daily and wash in the machine weekly. This one is very light and wicks away sweat (I am sweaty and this was still grippy). The only time I need to use my hand towel during class is when I’m doing a super hot (~110 degree) vinyasa flow class and I have to swipe away sweat from the hand area a couple times. For most classes that are ~90 degrees I do not have any issue with too much sweat. Glad I found this option for under $100 and am happy with it!

This one became the best yoga mat I have! I love how just enough cushioned it is, and well gripped, long and wide as pro version. Color is beautiful also 👍🏻🥰

I ordered this mat with the intention of having a stickier yoga mat for super duper sweaty hot yoga sessions. — and yeah, it passes the test! I had a cork yoga mat for a few years and it was ~okay~ for a while but as it wore in, I started to slip and slide quite a bit. My biggest pet peeve was holding downward dog with sweaty hands and feet, because instead of focusing on my breath and length, I was focusing on holding my form while my hands and feet slid away from me. SO, after much research and reading many reviews, I settled on this mat, and as soon as I brought it in the door I wet my hands and feet in the sink and went right into downward dog in the kitchen. My hands and feet, SLICK with water, did not budge a millimeter. After using it in a particularly sweaty session today, I am super excited to give this mat 5 stars!!!! I haven’t felt so secure maybe EVER in a hot yoga class! My hands and feet stayed exactly where I placed them!!!

My husband convinced me to finally upgrade to a better may now that I have made yoga a part of my daily practice and I am so glad I did!!! My previous mat was perfect for beginner moves, extra cushy for support and didn't get to sweaty; but i noticed my hands always sliding in down dog or my feet sliding out in Warrior poses. Now that I am using this mat it has made a very positive impact on my daily practice. I never slide around and feel so stable and strong. It does have a small odor when first opened due to the rubber material, but it goes away quickly and i never notice it anymore. It does tend to attract pet hair or dust material easily, but i just wipe it down before and after my practice to keep it clean and it has never been an issue. I like to spray my mat with homemade essential oil cleaner, just to give it a fresh smell, but it really isn't necessary to keep clean as this mat does not hold moisture and repels water- so it is never sweaty after. I would image this mat may be good for hot yoga- although i have not yet tried it myself. It is definitely very sticky and stiff (which i love), but if you want a mat you can slide around on for your flow preference this may not be the mat for you. I have been using this mat daily for about 2 months and i am so very happy with my purchase, even my cat loves it too!

The mat arrived quickly and the rubber smell is minimal-I was able to use it without airing out first. The mat is generously sized, very light and soft; the grippy surface reminds me of the Lululemon mat. As far as performance, it’s great and I have no complaints. A couple of cons: - Scuff marks are apparent from transioning between poses (I bought the dark gray color) - This is a big flaw for me: when I folded the mat over to cushion my knees in camel pose, a big crease formed on the surface of the mat when I unfolded it. Maybe it will smooth itself out, but I’ve used this mat only twice and it already looks ‘broken in’. This one will not stay aesthetically pleasing. - Sometimes, I find the mat a little too sticky in balancing poses. If you are not bothered by creases, the price alone makes this mat worth checking out. For reference, I have practiced on Jade Harmony, Lululemon The Mat, Manduka Prolite and Gaiam Sol. I would say that this one compares performance-wise.

This is everything I want in a yoga mat: -Slightly squishy but not too squishy where it's difficult to balance -VERY grippy despite it's smooth surface...no more sliding hands and feet -Very lightweight, so easy to carry -Doesn't smell like plastic -It's purple! :o) :o) :o) BUY IT!!!

Ce tapis change la vie pour quelqu’un qui a les mains qui transpirent au yoga. J’avais tendance à me crisper souvent en chien tête en bas ou autres positions car mes mails glissent. Je pense qu’il est au même niveau / qualité qu’un liforme! Dommage que la marque ne soit pas connue plus que ça

This is a really comfortable, non slip yoga mat that, I think, is outstanding for the price. Having used cheap versions that don't cope with sweat and start to fall apart after a little use, this has been a revelation. It's almost as though the hotter you get the more stable you feel. It's comfortable enough to use directly on a solid floor, but will also work without slipping on carpet. Doing hot yoga is a joy with this mat as you know you're not going to slip out of a pose just at the wrong time. It also comes with a carry strap so you don't have to try and find space in a gym bag or buy a separate bag for it. As it arrived just before the Covid Restrictions came into action in the UK, I use the mat most days and wouldn't be without it for yoga or pilates. In fact, I'll probably take it with me to practice when the restrictions are lifted and we can all go back to a semblance of life before the pandemic. The team at IUGA seem to be really on it, too. Delivery was quick, the mat was well packaged and in great condition. And they seem to be keen to answer questions quickly. Highly recommended.

Leggero e con un ottimo grip!!

I was using a combination mat that was really targeted for hot yoga and I really liked the print pattern on it which made it nice to work out on and was why I persevered with it in non hot sessions However during non hot sessions I found my self slipping and trying to compensate and at times not being able to hold positions I decided to treat myself to a new mat and it was between two but this one is a nicer colour and lighter. Glady I made the right choice and this mat is sticky and I can hold the down dogs and other positions without worrying about slipping. The ends of the mat do curl up a bit but hopefully that will sort itself out It would just be nice to have other prints available in the future Can definitely recommend this mat
