Negative Positive
Title: A pretty excellent mat for beginner level hatha yoga.
Review: The smell that many complain about, which is a little strong at first, faded fast. Air it out for a week indoors beforehand, and you'll probably never be bothered by it while using it.I am able to hold my poses easily without slipping, the mat does, in fact greatly resist movement. People who complained about the mat being slippery probably did not use the right side of the mat. That's my guess, at least.It's heavy, but it's also thicker and slightly longer than most, so I don't expect anything less.I only wish I'd gotten the next size up, because apparently doing yoga had straightened out my spine and given me an extra inch of height. I'll make do.If you think quality materials matter, this may be worth the hefty pricetag. (It was a little over 60 for me.)
Is the review positive or negative?
