Review on Get Your Yoga On With Gruper - Non-Slip Eco-Friendly Mats For Home Workouts And Pilates by Patrick Lets

After about 10 yoga sessions I can honestly say that I really like this yoga mat. I have always used a mat that was extra cushioning. I was worried that this was going to be too hard but I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a good mix between cushioned and firmness. My old yoga mat used to stretch way too much when I was in downward-facing dog. This one does not stretch which is a very good thing. One of its best attributes is that it is really grippy both to the floor and to my feet and hands. I chose the gray and black one and it is quite handsome. It comes with a bag and a strap. The bag has mesh sides to help it dry and not create mildew. The mat's material does have a slight odor when brand new but it's not too much and I didn't find it irritating. It subsides within a few days. It's not a huge deal but if I had one a slight complaint is that the mat's grippiness makes it hard to get the mat back into the bag due to the material they chose for the bag. I used it at home so I just leave rolled in a basket so it's not an issue for me but if you want to take it out to yoga sessions and you try to get it back in the bag you will remember me. Luckily, they also provide an elastic strap which is plenty to carry it around and seems to be the preferred method of most yogi's. .or maybe your yoga session will provide you with enough patience to get it back in the bag without frustration. ;) This is definitely not a deal-breaker since the mat is such a good quality for the price and it's grippiness is a great thing. If you are considering this one, buy it, you won't regret it. If you are new to yoga I really recommend the "Yoga With Adrienne" channel on YouTube and start with a 30-day "Home" series. She is amazing. I never thought I would do yoga since I could barely tie my shoes without pain and she has helped me immensely.
