The only yoga mat I ever used before this were ones owned by gyms and schools I went to. Those were thin and even the ones that looked new just felt like it would have been the same way as if I had no mat. But last year I began wanting to do more working out and I like to do what I can at home due to a busy schedule, so I looked for a good yoga mat and the ones I saw in quite a few videos were the ones from here, and they had great designs. I was however still skeptical, but now that I have had mine for a year (it is a black starry design) I just wish I had gotten this so much sooner!
If you want a comfortable yoga mat that is non slip and doesn't feel like you will bruise a knee if you come down too hard in a lunge then this is the yoga mat for you! They are also gorgeous!!!
