Wow! The Manduka X mat is THE one to get of you are worried about slippage. This is my second Manduka, but first Manduka X. I wish I had gotten this one the first time around. It is bumpy but really absolutely no slippage, I love it. This is for my home practice but betting I end up getting one for the studio practice next! Malita · manduka.com
