This was a fantastic purchase and creation by PrAna. I love my new yoga mat! It gets stickier when I take it to a hot yoga class, and is very sturdy. The mat was heavier than I expected it, really nothing like the cheaper mats sold at various retail stores. It rolls out flat even after being rolled up for a while, and seems to be made well enough for me to have for many years to come. I'm 5'3" and cpat · prana.com
