Yoga Monster mat goes Eco! For those who want a more eco-friendly mat, our fantastic Yoga Monster mat is now environmentally friendly. We call it Clean PVC tm an eco friendly yoga mat made of PER (Polymer Environmental Resin), which is a unique material that is more sensitive to the environment and your health than yoga mats made of standard PVC foam. This mat does not contain toxic phthalates, dioxins and furans, phenal, or heavy metals and has a ecologically safer method of production which is better for the workers and the environment - and most importantly it performs great for all types of yoga with excellent traction and cushion!



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.

You get what you pay for

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 price

Happy with this product. Mat works well even though it is used on the concrete floor of an unfinished basement! Good price, too.

Rating :



nice cushioning but...

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.

A great beginners yoga mat

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 slip

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.

Great yoga towel

This is a great yoga towel. Fits perfectly over the yoga mat and soaks up a ton of sweat without getting slippery. Little nubs on the back of the towel keep it place during the class. A bikram yoga must have.

YogiToes gives me bliss!

After reading reviews, I decided Yogitoes sounded like the best brand to buy. I've now used my mat towel for hot yoga and it's wonderful, absorbing sweat, staying in place and not bunching up like regular towels.

Rating :



perfect fit

This is the first yoga towel I've purchased, always relying on bath towel until now. I have to say, it is amazing! It doesn't slide and I can focus on what I'm there to do... yoga! In fact, I'm buying more right now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Can't Complain

It's my first hot yoga mat, but such a drastic difference from my bathroom towel. Soaked up all my sweat, great investment for the yogi enthusiast!

Rating :



Great for hot yoga!

Really good towel for hot yoga. Washes and dries very fast and is very absorbent. Only porblem I've had is with the color bleeding, even after about 10 washes, so I just wash it in the sink by itself and wring it out in the washer and hang to dry. I've been using it several days a week and I plan on buying another one in a different color. The one I have is black.

AURORAE YOGI TIPS

1) Wash your mat down with a soft brush and a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid or detergent mixed with warm water then rinse off. I usually do this in the shower if I can't do it outside and hang over my shower rod to dry. Repeat if necessary.

2) Hang dry outside if possible. DO NOT PUT IN DRYER.

3) Another tip from a yogi was to mix white vinegar and warm water, about a 4 to 1 ratio and wipe your mat down with a sponge then let dry.

4) To keep your mat fresh and clean mix fresh lemon with water in a spray bottle. You can use this to naturally clean your mat while also giving it a fresh natural scent. Do as needed after use.

5) Wash your hands with soap and water before class to reduce any natural oils in your hands.

6) Do not use creams or oils on your hands or feet before your practice.

7) Always keep a cotton towel* (available by Aurorae) near you to wipe away any perspiration.

8) If necessary use an Aurorae Yoga Rosin Bag to absorb any perspiration and increase gripping power.

Remember "It's Your Yoga" "Your Island of Peace and Tranquility"

Slip 'N Slide

While I love the looks, size and thickness of this mat, it's not sticky at all. I don't even practice hot yoga, yet every time I've taken this mat to a class, my experience was ruined by slipping during most of the poses. I've tried all the techniques suggested by the mfgr for breaking this mat it, to no avail. I'm not going to resort to using resin when I practice since there are plenty of mats out there that don't have this problem.

Good Mat, though kinda slippery when it is new. Great Service!

As it is claimed, this mat is very thick, which provides enough cushion for your knees. Also it does not have strong smell like some other yoga mats when they are new. The only concern is that it may be slipping at the beginning. I had trouble practicing on the mat when I first used it. But the customer service is great. He suggested me applying slip free rosin on my hands and feet before practicing and this worked great and did help stopping the slipping problem.

Love this mat!

This is a fantastic mat. It is lovely to look at and feels great under the feet.

excellent carry bag for yoga mat

This bag is attractive and easy. The mat goes in without much fuss and the strap adjusts to perfect carrying. I haven't tried it on the bicycle yet but it feels like it will ride well. The pockets carry extra stuff without cramming (extra space and ease) and feel secure. Plus it looks neater than the light colored bags that have gotten a little dirty. My wife is making eyes at it and I don't think it's mine for long. She tried her wallet, a bulky thing, in it and if she puts her lip gloss in it, I'll have to get another.Aurorae Denim Yoga Mat Sak Bag.

Great Mat

This mat is a very good quality. It unrolled and stayed that way on the floor. Unlike cheaper mats that won't unroll. It's thick and does the job.

YogaAccessories 1/4 YogaAccessories 1/4" Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat
Price : $29.99
Features :
  1. Extra thick (6.2 mm, which is 1/4'')
  2. Weighs 3.6 lbs (vs 3.0 lbs offered by other suppliers)
  3. Textured, non-slip surface
  4. Limited lifetime warranty
  5. Extra long 74'' x 24'' wide

Average Customer Rating :

Editorial Review :

At 6.2mm, the YogaAccessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat is a full 1/4'' thick, an extra long 74'', weighs almost 4 lbs, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. The mats come in a variety of colors that are strong and vivacious, but not overpowering in their brightness. This well-made exercise mat will add comfort to your yoga workouts. And because of its high quality, this deluxe mat will last longer than most standard foam mats. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4'' mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat. These ''knock-off'' mats are shorter and weigh less, indicative of their inferior quality. A thicker non-slip mat is good for all types of yoga, especially for restorative poses. Reward yourself and your body with an Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat, and see why this is the most popular sticky mat found in yoga studios, schools, fitness clubs, and at home!

Looking for a unique yoga mat? YogaAccessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mats are also available in the Chakra Series or custom printed with your own logo or design -- in the same vibrant colors that make our yoga mats so appealing.

Sufficient, not extraordinary

Fine for casual yoga, stretching or exercises. I would have liked maybe a bit thicker mat if I did yoga regularly.

Pretty good mat

Seems pretty good on my wood floors. Doesn't slip. Only thing is that it did have some smell when i opened it. Had to wash it and let it hang outside for a couple days to get rid of.

Rating :



No smell, no slippage, no problems.

I've been practicing yoga for over a year a few times a week. I researched several mats and settled on this one for the good reviews and low price. Its a fine mat. No smell as others have reported and if folds out just fine. My hands do not slip during down dog as others have reported. I was prepared to lay it out for a few days to rid the mat of the smell and I didn't notice a smell from day one. I bought a black one that is great in that it looks sleek all the time. The thickness is fabulous and the extra length is an bonus as well. For the money, who can beat it?

Good in general

It has a good grip, the only issue is when you receive it it smells bad, you need to leave it out for a while so the rubber smell will go away

Great Quality at an Affordable Price

We bought a pair of these mats for use with P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program - 13 DVDs, Nutrition Guide, Exercise Planner, in particular Ab Ripper X, Yoga X, and Plyometrics. They've worked perfectly.

These mats are extra long, so more of your body can be on the mat. They're very thick with dense cushioning, which is great for your wrists during tough Yoga moves and back during ab moves. They're durable and will clearly last a long time. The grip is great without being too tacky, so you don't feel like your hands are sliding during downward dog.

We don't have the Manduka BlackMatPRO 71-Inch Yoga and Pilates Mat to compare this mat to (the Manduka mat is the "price is no object" Rolls Royce of Yoga mats), but given the immense price difference, this mat will do for us.

Great blocks for the price

I am a beginning yoga teacher and bought several of these blocks for my small, non-studio classes. I am a big proponent of using blocks and after 10 years of practice use them regularly - moreso than at the beginning when I somehow thought blocks were a sign of weakness!
These specific blocks are quite good. they feel very firm and sturdy in all flat hand applications. they "give" a little and are left with an imprint if you are on your fingertips or all the weight is on the heel of your hand. the imprint disappears pretty quickly. They aren't spongy at all.

Rating :



A great prop for those of us who aren't Gumby

There's not a whole lot you can say about a couple of blocks. These are well made with a very strong, yet soft material. If you've used blocks in class, then you know the advantage of these blocks. If you haven't, and you have trouble holding certain poses, these blocks are invaluable. These arrived promptly, well packaged. There was absolutely no odor that some have commented on. They have great stability and strength (enough to sit on 1 on it's end) yet they have a nice give when you are using them for you hands on the floor.

Question : Can anyone give me good tips for morning exercising?
I am currently very stressed out.I start everyday with somewhat frehness but by the end of the day i feel totally wiped out.So i feel doing some sort of morning exercise(exercise and yoga) can improve my verall fitness.Please give me tips on what sort of exercise i need to do,the duration and what sort of food i nee to take.

Answer:
I suggest that you try walking. Do you have stairs in your office? Walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. This will get your heartrate going and you will feel more energized. Make a game of it and see how many time you can walk up and down the stairs everyday.Here is a real cool article on walking...http://www.ehow.com/how_2378909_lose-weight-walking.html

 

Question : Could me and my sister be in a TWEEN fitness class?
My sister is 7 and I'm 12. I'm not really sure what a tween is, but I think it's like a teen and a preteen or something? Yeah, idk. It's over the summer, for one hour a week. I don't need to lose the weight, I just like to be healthy and have always been that way. On the other hand my sister is 4 ft and about 69 pounds. She's not fat, but she could lose a bit of weight to be more healthy. What do you think? In the fitness class, there is trampolines, group sports, exercises, yoga, pilates, etc. It's like a Tuesday night from 530 to 630, something like that. Is it okay for both of us?

Answer:
Ask your and your sister's pediatrician, and ask the gym if there are rules about what age you have to be to join the class.

 

Question : Christianity and yoga poses?
Question for Christians only; do you think that there is anything wrong with practicing yoga exercises for fitness? I'm not talking about the spiritual side of yoga but simply the exercises.Please only answer me if you know what you're talking about.

Answer:
Early Christianity was similar to the Buddhist Way and practicing yoga was part of the early teaching - to answer your question - physically there is only benefit gained from practicing yoga as a daily routine and does not involve any belief system that will change you as a Christian.It is about mindfullness about your body.

 

Question : is just doing free hand exercise or light exercise help you lose weight?
i was just wondering that if doing light exercise or free hand exercise help you lose weight or is it only help you to keep in shape and increase fitness???anyway,i really need to lose some weight and dont have adequate time to go to gym & doing some hard cardio workout.so i am just having a strict diet & doing some free hand exercise & yoga,30-45 mins of walking or jogging at home.so is doing free hand exercise really help you to lose weight??? does any of you lose weight by doing some light exercise,not going to gym & having diet at the same time??? i really want to know & anything related to this would be helpful & maybe it will help me to get more concentration on my goal.thanks in advance.

Answer:
Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there's also the Jojo-effect.The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That's an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn't that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?- Healthy life every day!Take care,:-)

 

Question : Should I get a personal trainer, nutritionist, or yoga teacher certification?

Also, do you have any suggestions on where to get these certifications?
