I’ve used a traditional thick yoga mat, that you must roll up, for many years. I thought it’d be nice to have a spare mat for class, one I could alternate, and fold up. What I didn’t realize until I took it to a cardio Pilates class (in a hot yoga studio) was the thickness of my old one saved my knees from hurting.
While using this one I had to fold up my towel to put under my knees when doing lunges or anything on the ground because this is so thin (as it is advertised) it felt like I was kneeling directly on a hard floor and hurt.
I’m 57, 120 lbs, and work out in classes regularly so you’d think the thickness wouldn’t matter that much, but it does for me.
This is a very zen looking multi-color blue mat.
It folds up easily and fits into the small black bag (with mandala design) included.
Absorbs sweat immediately.
I’m giving this 5 stars because it is everything that is advertised – but I won’t be using it in the future because I learned I need the cushion of my old mat for my knees and other floor exercises (my tailbone, lower back).
