Liforme Original Yoga Mat – Free Yoga Bag Included - Patented Alignment System, Warrior-like Grip, Non-slip, Eco-friendly and Biodegradable, sweat-resistant, long, wide, 4.2mm thick mat for comfort

It's amazing! Yes it's a pricy purchase, but well worth it if it's something you use all the time. I always have sweaty hands and feet and using the yoga mats supplied at my class, hands slid 1 way, feet the other, but not on this mat. You stick to it, but it doesn't leave you sticky. I'm certainly no yoga/pilates expert, but this mat has boosted my confidence because my hands and feet stay positioned. I would definitely buy again.

As a 27 year old man I was always dismissive of yoga, viewing it as an excuse for women to wear activewear in any and all everyday scenarios without the need to change. This all changed after injuries forced me to access my body which led me to conclude I had the flexibility of a half-jointed scarecrow and was advised to give yoga a crack. Luckily I was eased into my first session through a lunch time class my work holds on a Thursday where the skill range wasn't that high so they were patient in fixing any issues in form and I bloody loved it. It both challenged and relaxed me in a variety of ways and I discovered my stereotypical masculine view of 'strength' was no good here rendering me as helpless as a new born giraffe trying to find its feet for the first time. As the days passed and collected more classes under my belt my flexibility has improved, strength increased, and ability to do poses that I initially wouldn't have wished on my worst enemy are finally within my grasp... but... In mildly warm rooms or a moderately fast flow class I release enough sweat to become a human humidifier. I'm talking gallons of the stuff, from fingertip to tip toe, blinding me, dripping from my nose, painting a mural of myself on the mat so future generations will know I was there - a modern day monument for all my sins and stretch sinews. Now, having decided to invest in my first yoga mat so I could practice at home in my spare time, and having experienced many a time my hands slide forward at the pace of a tectonic plate during downward dog, I knew I had to invest in a mat that would limit this or risk an inevitable face-to-floor collision. Ladies and Gentlemen - let me introduce you to the mat my girlfriend introduced me to that I'm now taking to credit for: Liforme. It's been excellent so far - nice design, good grip, reasonably padded etc. The fact it comes with a bag is undeniably helpful because it is (surprisingly) heavy. I'm a stickler for detail and getting my alignment juuuuust right so having the markings really help save me time when my anal tendencies do take over. Chuck into the mix that it's eco friendly and I basically threw my money at them. I know it is expensive but I'm an all or nothing kinda guy and understand the value of buying something that'll last both in terms of it's performance and keeping it's 'colour' after drying out. Plus having used a foam type mat at work for a year I can see how quickly the grip has warn AND padding has diminished after just one use a week to an extend that when on my knees I feel like I'm back in primary school praying to the lord Jesus Chris on the wooden bench begging him to tell the priest to finish so I can make sure my knee caps haven't fallen off (and so I could blast out a rendition of shine Jesus shine sharpish!). Over all a perfect product. Nice one Liforme. P.S. You will need a yoga mat towel for Hot Yoga to avoid slipping, no man made yoga mat alone could save you in a Hot Yoga class P.S.S. If I did have a complaint it is that it is TOO grippy and it picks up dirt from my laminated floor that I hovered and mopped two hours before reminding me of my failures as a domestic goddess. I hope this helps :)

I'm not sure about Yoga Mats - i know nothing about them - but I am sure that this Amazon Resale item was a real find. All complete and still sealed. Close to half price. And there was me worried that the discount was due to the bag being missing. Nope. Its perfect! Clearly orders of magnitude better than the usual expanded foam offerings. Looking forward to starting this journey.

Transformed yoga practice beyond my wildest hopes. I don't slip, my knees don't hurt, even my wrists no longer hurt on some poses although I can't see how it's changed that. I don't find it heavy at all - I could easily take it to a class. Love it. Big purchase, worth every penny.

A surprise present bought for me & arrived on time & well packaged. Unwrapped & found it in a well made carrying hold-all with padded shoulder strap, it is slightly heavier than most. Once unrolled onto floor there was a slight aroma of rubber but didn’t deflect from using the mat & disappeared after a few uses. The thickness is very comfortable & supportive in comparison to the much cheaper mats I had been using. Very durable design & can see it lasting many years. No slipping in poses, no staining- so far- I do wipe down with a dampened cloth. It’s great for working on wood/tiling floors as there’s no moving -sticks well. On carpet it tends to creep & ruche a little but I put that down to the nap of the carpet. I’m still trying to get to grips with the positioning guidelines as I’m not so tall 5’4”. Good length & width but would’ve preferred it slightly wider. Overall I love using it for my yoga practice, a little expensive(I’ve just discovered) but you pay for what you get as I’ve found out & would recommend for the avid yogi.

I was hesitant to spend so much on a mat but it has been worth every penny. I don’t slip at all even during my hardest hot vinyasa class. The alignment guide is so helpful. The mat is heavier than my previous mats but still easy to carry. That extra weight is reflective of the quality of the material. The mat is comfortable for kneeling poses although I do still add extra padding when doing balances on one knee like in gate. Others commented on a smell but I didn’t notice anything. The only negative that I have noticed is that the mats shows marks very easily from body oils and sweat. This might not be an issue with darker mats but I have the green color. I am trying to practice non-attachment and be cool with the evidence of my hard work on the mat.

Hermoso tapete, super cómodo y pesado justo lo que necesitaba, no se resbala ni se mueve aún con las posiciones más difíciles, recomiendo usar con toalla de Protección para que dure mas.

Je suis ravie de cette achat! Enfin un tapis qui tient ses promesses! Il est vraiment antidérapant. Il a changé ma pratique du yoga. Je peux enfin réaliser toutes les postures sans risque de glisser, du coup je les fait plus aisément et plus profondément sans avoir peur de glisser et me faire mal. Alors je travaille mieux et cela me procure davantage de satisfaction et de plaisir. D'autant plus que le marquage permet un meilleur alignement. Je recommande ce tapis, le meilleur que je n'ai jamais vu. En plus il est eco-friendly ce qui est aussi très important pour moi. Ce tapis n'est pas donné, mais il vaut son prix largement!

Love it

Love this mat! It’s so grippy and stable during ashtanga or hot yoga practice! Finally have the right mat for my practice. It’s a great size too. I’m 5’8 and im not hanging over the edge!
