Athletic Intuition Premium 1/3-Inch Extra Thick Exercise Yoga Mat with Carry Strap

For starters, I am a beginner to yoga. This mat has served me well for my first yoga class. The mat itself is well padded and provided good cushion against the tile floor I was working on. I love the portability of the mat as well. It is very light weight and the strap works well for transport as well as for storage purposes. The color is exactly as pictured and looks sleek. Definitely recommend to anyone trying yoga.

Initial review for first few workouts: This pad is awesome for not being very thick but offering good padding for knees hips and elbows. Has a "memory" type cushion. Has excellent traction on slick flooring. Rated 4 stars as I don't know the durability yet.

NOT 72" long. 68.5". Quality seems ok, but it'll tear easily.

This is only the second yoga mat i've owned and i think i'm going back to my old one because i don't like this one at all. My hands slip all the time on it and it makes a horrendous squeaking noise when i move my feet on it. I do like the color though....

excellent, cushy, yummy color, shipped on time. Couldn't ask for more.

I bought this yoga mat when I was a yoga newbie. However, I quickly learned that you can buy a mat which is too thick. Now, this product is advertised as "Extra Thick," so this is not a fault of the product. Rather, this is advice to newbies such as myself regarding buying a thick mat. The cushioning is really nice, especially if you're in positions involving your knees on the floor, etc. Much less pain. I also use this for stretching, pilates and regular excercise and it works great for those things.The carrying strap, while simple, works really well. For actual yoga however, The cushioning makes it surprisingly challenging to balance. Overall, If your only looking to use a mat for yoga, Even if you really want that cushioning for added comfort, compromise and get something thinner. You will find that you balance better, and you will develop tolerance to any added knee pain anyway.

It's really nice and thick, so if that is what you are looking for then this is the mat for you. I bought it for my daughters who have a yoga class at school and they love the convenience of it having a carrying strap. I shopped around a lot and this was a very good value. I would buy another one.

I absolutely love it!!!! It's thick enough to be soft an love that while its soft it also grips so no slippage
