Athletic Works PVC Yoga Mat, 3mm, Dark Gray, 68inx24in, Nonslip, Cushioning for Support and Stability

This yoga mat is soft, textured so it doesn't slip and super lightweight. It is perfect for travel and on-the-go! This is a thin mat at 3 mm so it works great for a nonslip surface. It is made from 100% PVC foam. Mat measures 68 inches by 24 inches. I like the fact that it is easy to store when not in use!

When I first unwrapped the Athletic Works yoga mat I was a bit skeptical since it was a thinner mat than the one I use at the gym. One of the edges of the mat was curled but I put a damp cloth underneath the corner and placed a book on top and a few hours later it was fine. I never had the problem again after rolling and unrolling the mat daily. I took it to the gym and was happy that I had my own mat and did not have to worry about cleanliness of gym mats. Yes, it was indeed thinner than the gym mats which I thought would be an issue. I was wrong. The Athletic Works mat stuck to the carpet and did not slip. I felt very stable the entire time. I thought I would lose some cushy feel that the thicker mat provided but this mat was very comfortable. I no longer had to worry about sliding around on the mats as I did on the thicker cushier ones I used before. I felt totally stable in all the yoga positions. Also, a big plus is how lightweight it is. I never wanted my own mat because I did not want another thing to lug into the gym but this mat is so lightweight, it is not a big deal to add it to my gym bag. I also used it on my tile floor at home and it is stable and sticks well to the tile as well as the carpet. I normally like bright colors for exercise equipment. However, I think my feet are generally clean, I have seen light colored mats looking pretty dingy and dirty looking. This Athletic Works mat is dark gray and so I so I don't think wear and tear and spots of dirt will be as apparent. I learned quickly that thicker and brighter is not always better!
