I've been doing yoga for 15+ years and this is the best mat I've ever tried. By a mile. It is comfortable, flexible, beautiful, and so lightweight. I really don't understand how it feels so thick without being squishy but also gives me great contact with the ground. It gets better the sweatier it gets, too! It's a little wider and longer than average, which I love. It is truly the best part of my yoga ritual. Thank you!!!
