Title: Mat is cold in New England
Review: I've been practicing yoga for over 20 years. This mat is made from natural materials. I learned rubber is dense, it stores cold well. In winter my body has to warm it up first, and that is unpleasant. I cannot use this mat in winter. With yoga you need to feel warm, not chilly. I even put it on a carpet, not a bare wood floor and that does not help in winter. I think you could use it nicely if you have radiant floors for heating, but I don't. I use a cheap $4 yoga mat during winter time. Very expensive for this rubber mat, and it fed on my environmental ethics since we are destroying the planet (and our human health) with myriad petroleum synthetics. Too cold to enjoy in winter, even with a cloth facing that is melded with the rubber. Would not recommend where there are cold winters, I am sorry to say. A positive: In warm weather, it is awesome! Love the feel of it when it is warm.
