Title: This is heavy as lead
Review: After seven years of practicing yoga I thought it was time to splurge on a great mat. I bought this one, let it air out for a couple of weeks (as they suggest), and hefted it to my yoga space at home. Carrying it already felt akin to lifting weights, but I thought it would be worth it. Not for me. The side you use is hard as a rock. The underside is padded, but, somehow, that does not translate into a cushy surface to practice on.If you like a hard surface under you by all means get this. It's certainly bigger than other mats which will give you more space if you're practicing in class. Frankly, that's the only recommendation I have for this product.Of course, I liked the idea that it was eco-friendly; so, now I'm researching ways to recycle my old mats. I'm thinking of cutting them into yoga block sized squares and gluing them together to use as props for supta baddha konasana.
Is the review positive or negative?
