I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s still going strong–quite sticky (for me, although I’ve let others borrow it and they slide around) and provides a firm surface for asanas even on wall-to-wall carpet. I practice the ashtanga full primary series four to six times a week, and every couple of weeks I take my mat in the shower and gently scrub it with a soapy tile/grout sponge I bought at a hardware store, and I’ve never had any problems slipping on it. I may actually buy another one as it doesn’t cover enough area for a full workout but I knew that when I bought it. Being a hard core yoga student, (I practice for an hour every day) I’ve had a number of yoga mats over the years but never one as good as this.

 

This yoga mat will increase in stickiness with use. They start out mildly sticky and increase in stickiness the more they are used. It is on the heavy side if you are wishing to take it somewhere. I have been experiencing LOTS of slipping on my mat….to the point where I was ready to exchange my mat. Working out” I’ve never had a problem with slipping and it’s super easy to clean/dry. I recently started getting into yoga, and decided that I wanted to drop all the middle-of-the-road stuff and jump right to the high-end product. I was also very interested in getting a thicker mat for my knees.
