SGS Tested and Certified. | Why should you be concerned about exposure to Phthalates? Because phthalates have been linked to a variety of health problems including endocrine disruption, obesity, diabetes and allergies. Studies from many continents indicate serious toxicity and health problems due to phthalate plastizers found in consumer products. Common plastics, such as pvc foam used in typical yoga mats can contain 10% to 60% phthalates. Phthalates migrate to the surface of the mat over time and use which increases phthalate concentration on the yoga mat surface. Our CleanPVC tm yoga mats are SGS certified tested to non-measurable levels and far exceed the strict European phthalate standards. Using our CleanPVC Yoga Monster mat you can forget about phthalates and heavy metals and simply relax and enjoy your yoga practice. | | | Features: | |

 You get what you pay forJul 25, 2010
Next time I will pay more for a mat. It's very slippery. My hands slip every single time I'm doing Downward Dog. Now I'm on the hunt for a better mat.
 Great product for the priceJul 20, 2010
Happy with this product. Mat works well even though it is used on the concrete floor of an unfinished basement! Good price, too.
A great beginners yoga matJul 19, 2010
I just started doing yoga in my home and found this mat does the trick. I openned it worried about the way it was going to smell after the other reviews and the warnings on the mat, but was excited to find no odors. I found it to cushion well and no slipping.

 More room to slipJul 14, 2010
I'm new to yoga. I researched yoga mats online. It seems like people talk about the thickness 1/16" - 5/8", size 68" - 72", smell, construction materials and grip. This mat is 1/4" thick and 72" long, which is on the larger size. That being said, it's extremely slippery and most of your energy is spent trying to stay on the mat instead of getting deep into yoga postures. I think this should have a warning - NOT FOR HOT YOGA. The mat is probably fine for "regular" yoga.
I've continued my research and I'm getting a Jade mat. The other option would have been to get a yogi toes for on top of this mat. As far as I can tell, they are the best options.

 nice cushioning but...Jul 13, 2010
i am using the mat for the p90x program and although this mat provides a nice cushioning for many of the exercises it is a bit slick when stretched all the way out on it. i found it is almost unusable when doing downward dog (a big part of the p90x yoga video) because of how slick it is when your trying to stretch out on it. my hands keep slipping farther and farther out and i just about fall on my face. other than that issue it is long (a good thing) and narrow (not a problem) and very cushiony. i bought the cheapest one (white at the time) and for the price i am happy with it even though it will look dirty fast, and is pretty slick at times.
