The cork mat is very slippery. There is no grip to it at all. I like to practice outside, and it’s good for that as it doesn’t get hot in the sun. The only time I would use it again is if I were practicing outside in the rain. It has to be really wet to have any kind of gripiness, otherwise it’s just too slippery. Yvonne S.L. · yolohayoga.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
