Have been doing some yoga classes for a while now but using the class mats leaves me feeling uneasy, even slightly dirty so I decided to purchase my own. Really pleased with this mat choice, it's very comfortable for my exercising and long but rolls up nice and small so saves space, carry handles are a great idea as well. My friend has already bought one based on my recommendation and is equally as chuffed . Great when doing sit ups or yoga etc because I don't have much padding on my spine and the mats I was using didn't cushion me from the hard floor, this one does, it also stays put, no slipping at all... I think it's excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend it. Great colour too
