What I really like about this mat is the excellent grip and texture. They do look cool too, but what use is that without good functionality! Although a bit thiker than many mats (so it feels quite luxurious) it is still quite lightweight and easy to carry around, although make sure you get a large mat bag because they don't roll up as small as regular sticky mats. All in all a brilliant mat.

This mat comes highly recommended! I took my time deciding on the best mat that met my requirements and in this price bracket. I didn't want a mat that contained environmentally damaging materials or either those that are toxic to the body. Then i was worried the mat wouldnt be as effective/non slip and soft.... I made the right choice - this mat has excellent grip but not too much to prevent you moving from one posture to another. It feels almost silky skin soft, it doesnt smell like natural rubber mats and is think enough to cushion you againgst hard floor surfaces. It just feels luxurious but does not compromise on its effectiveness. I chose the pink/purple one and the mat can be used on either side - each side has a different texture so you can alternatate between colours/textures based on preference. The pink colour is lovely and vibrant and the purple is cool and sutle. Do not buy another mat - get this one!

I just used my Prana Eco Yoga Mat for the first time and I simply love it! This is definitely the best yoga mat I've ever used. - The thickness is just right as it provides comfort without compromising stability during balance poses. - The grip is excellent! It has been quite hot over here and even though I tend to sweat during my practice, the mat doesn't get slippery at all. - I opted for the pink/ lavender combination and use the lavender side for my practice. The color is wonderful and fits the mood of my practice.

I agree with all the other reviewers regarding the luxorious feeling of this mat. It has excellent grip, it smells nice, and it is very soft. However, it is not very durable. Mine only lasted for 3 months with ashtanga practice 4-6 days a week, before I had to throw it out, because it shredded som much. I still bought another one, which I use for travelling, because it provides the best combination of cusioning and low weight that I have found to date. Yogamatters: Good feedback! It is worth considering a non-eco mat for such intense ashtanga practice, although having said that there are many students practising daily who find these mats are durable - it can depend on the individual style, weight, technique and so on.

I am now onto my third prana eco mat and find them a great mat to practice on. However, as a 6 day/week ashtanga yogi I have found they start to break down more quickly than other mats I have used in the past. The surface and grip is good for an ashtanga practice and they are easy to travel with. One point to note is they do not cope with hot weather well, when living in Brunei the heat and humidity caused this mat to warp and distort out of shape.

Really luxurious mat. Looks stylish but is very practical too. I am sure this will enhance my yoga practice. Will be of benefit to provide extra cushioning under foot and knee's as I've found my old mat not thick enough as my practice has developed. Would definately give this the thumbs up! It's also nice to know whilst practicing yoga I'm also helping the environment in some way too!

I love this mat! I have been practicing Hatha yoga for nearly a year now and when I first started I spent ages trying to decide on a mat. I wanted one that would not be harmful to me or the environment. I am so happy I chose this one as it is absolutely perfect in every way. I have a lovely orange/dark brown colour which feels so natural. I would very highly recommend this mat to anyone!

I highly recommend this mat. It is thicker than the average mat and therefore provides extra comfort when kneeling or lying. It is a good length and each side has a slightly different texture with rounded edges. The grip is excellent, you simply can't slip on it. The best mat I've used

A lovely mat; texured one side for improved grip and smoother/softer on other side. Thickness is perfect for cushioning during inverted postures. It feels much lighter than other mats I've had, and the bonus with this one is that it is an 'eco' product!! I would definitely recommend this mat.

I've only had it for a couple of classes but so far I'm happy with this mat. It's comfy but firm and it doesn't stretch like my old thinner mat used to. I like its two sides with different surface types - I can choose a rougher or smoother surface on the day. Gives very good grip - I bought an antislip powder too but I only used it once, it's not needed at all.

For the price I was very disappointed with this mat. It is not very sticky, I slip both feet and hands slightly making me feel unstable and detracting from my focus. I rarely slip on any other mat. Also the mat stretches too much and would not last long with dynamic practice taking place on it. All in all a mat that does not make me feel stable in my practice and far too much money as a result. I will not buy this or recommend to anyone. The cheaper mats are better than this.

I was really disappointed with this mat. It gives poor grip for hands and feet and the material stretches in certain poses. I'm afraid I gave up on it within weeks and went back to one of the cheaper, basic sticky mats, which I am much happier with. This mat is quite expensive and I wonder how environmentally friendly it really is if people are replacing them so soon after purchase (as I read in other reviews here) or (like me) giving up on the mat soon after purchase. I wouldn't recommend this mat.
