AMAZING yoga mat! All of the other ones I tried kept falling apart and they felt like cheap plastic material. This one, however feels so solid and so natural - the top layer is cork material and it feels so natural compared to MANY other yoga mats I had in the past. Alena26 · dickssportinggoods.com

I’ve been using the Lululemon yoga mats for a few years now, and I love it! I got another one for my boyfriend. The grip is excellent, even when I’m sweating, and the cushioning provides great support for my knees and wrists. It’s also easy to clean, though it does show some marks over time. A bit on the heavier side, but totally worth it for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone serious about Julie · lululemon.com
