Eco Balance Yoga Mat
$79.97
I absolutely love this yoga mat! From the moment I unboxed it (which, by the way, I truly appreciated—it came double boxed, so no worries about it getting crushed in shipping), I could tell it was high quality. The grip is fantastic, even during more intense flows, and the 4mm thickness provides just the right balance of comfort and support for my joints. The alignment lines are a great touch, helping me refine my poses and stay centered during practice.It’s lightweight yet durable, making it easy to carry to different spaces, and the eco-friendly materials give me peace of mind. I love it so much that I’m purchasing another one for my yoga buddy! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable, and stylish yoga mat.
Medium thickness, not too heavy, long enough for someone of average height 5.5’ with plenty of space to spare. Material is non stick on both sides. Used it on carpet and it did not slide. Love the lines to help hold positions better. Can’t speak to durability yet, but it seems well made.
As you can see in the photo, the GAYO mat is slightly longer than my everyday yoga mat. I use this mat at home for stretching and strength training (barefoot). While it is 2mm thinner and lighter in weight than my OG mat, the smooth non-slip surface provides firm stability and soft cushioning. The alignment lines add a decorative touch and help to ensure that my body is in the proper position.The cons:1) My body sticking to the surface a little when I was sweating,2) The mat does have a faint rubber odor that is noticeable when I am laying with my face close to the mat,3) Can easily get scratched up by cats (see last photo). I use this mat around 1 hour per day. When not in use I keep it rolled up. I have noticed my cat stretch on the mat one time and as a result her claws left some lasting marks on the mat. They have stretched on my other yoga mat without the same effects. I assume because the surface on the GAYO mat is smooth it is more susceptible to this problem.
Very high end and professional type of poly foam and material. Length and padding is great, easy to clean! The straps are simple loops and so easy to use to grab the rolled up mat. Compared to my old one, this is a major step up and fantastic
I was a little nervous about spending extra on this mat, especially as a beginner, however after using it, I couldn't be happier with my decision. Great size, the markings help with alignment, materials feel premium, thickness sufficient to use on laminate flooring comfortably.
