Almost to much grip
I spent sooo long looking at different mats, reading reviews. I really didn’t wanto spend a lot of money on a mat that I didn’t enjoy. I am very happy that I settled on this mat. Incredible grip while also being very comfortable on my hands knees and feet. Highly recommend.

Brilliant product that is perfectly described with great quality

Really good product so happy it is made of all natural materials. I am working towards a non plastic / non toxic household and this yoga mat is perfect :) its grippy too. Have had no problems so far. The smell of rubber was a bit strong fresh out of the box but over time it has naturally gone away once you air it out.

A Mat That Grips Finally
I am so happy to finally have a ma that grips. I’ve had a lot of maths over the years and quite often they are slippery either on the top or underneath.
The second earth mat grips to the floor and I feel very confident that I am also firmly planted on the top of the mat.
Happy days
