Natural Fitness Natural Hemp Yoga Mat Bag


... I just ordered this bag a few days ago and it came just yesterday!! I love the size and the storage. My yoga mat fits great and I still have plenty of room in it. The zippered pocket is great...it's big enough for my ipod, cell phone and keys..which is wonderful!! My old yoga bag just had an open pocket and when I would lay it down, everything would tumble out. The strap is sturdy and easily adjustable....I know I will be using this bag for a long time...my cotton one just wasn't holding up like I thought it would. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new mat bag this is roomy and sturdy. ...

Beyond Yoga Supplex Racer Back Camisole


... I purchased a couple of these in size small, however I do wish now that I had purchased extra small, as it seems to run a bit big (I am 5'4" 115lb.)
I will likely purchase more of these. I do have to wear a sports bra with it even though it has a built in shelf bra because it is a little low and I start to spill out when in bent over positions. ...

Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Pant


... I have been searching for navy blue workout pants and decided to try these. Excellent quality and fit. I wear a size 6 and have thighs and a butt. The mediums fit very well. Not too tight and not loose. Have a smaller waist but the fact that there is no elastic in waist band is not a problem. Very flattering fit for someone who worries about thighs and butt. ...

Gaiam Yoga Headband (Black)


... I'm a 5'4" female, with a "regular" size head - I usually use regular hats and never found my hat to be small. This band is HUGE on me, it doesn't even stay on. So it's probably nice if you have a very large head, but otherwise it won't fit. ...

prAna The Natural Yoga Mat


... This is my first yoga mat purchase. I am by no means a yogi! I take a class once a week, and try to practice a little at home. Due to a knee injury, I haven't been in class with my new mat. But I have tried it at home and, frankly, I'm dissapointed. It's very stretchy and slippery, and I wasn't even sweating. Although it measures the same thickness as the class mats, it doesn't feel as thick. Then there's the smell.....but everyone tells me that is normal with all mats. So, like the title says, I'm disappointed, but keeping an open mind to see how I like it after a few classes. I do LOVE the color! ...

Natural Fitness Professional Extra Long Natural Rubber Yoga Mat (24-Inch x 75-Inch x 3/16-Inch)


... I like this mat and have had a great experience with it in my Yoga class. It sticks like glue to the wood floor and my hands don't slip (I should mention, I sweat pretty good). The only reason I gave this mat a 4 and not a 5 is twofold: 1) the smell is really strong and 2) the colors that are shown online are NOTHING like what you will get.

I have had my mat for a week and it has spent three days outside, it still has an odor which I'm really hoping will fade with time. I was VERY disappointed in the color. It states "earth/red rock" which looks like a faded red and brown on the website. I would describe the color as more of faded, peachy-orange and dark brown. I personally don't care for it, but others have commented on how much they like it.

Overall, this mat is definitely worth the price. ...

Hugger Mugger Cotton Yoga Rug (Caribbean Blue)


... If you like it in the picture, you'll like it in person, but this is a rug that will not particularly exceed your expectations.

Speaking as someone who practices Yoga regularly, if you are considering using this as a prop in your practice, you may be better off with the more widely accepted 'mexican blanket' (which are softer to the touch) or foam block (which are easier to position properly) solution. If you are considering using it as your mat, keep in mind it slides pretty easily on a smooth surface, and stretches as you would expect a cotton throw rug to.

Personally, if you really like this rug, I would suggest hanging it on a wall, or getting a skid-proof carpet pad and using it to line a hallway. ...

Stott Pilates Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat (Midnight / Twilight)


... I looked around at many eco yoga mats and after testing out numerous expensive types, I settled on this one. It is perfect for both yoga and pilates, it has a longer base, so it never feels constricting in size, and it has a thick feel, so you can do back rolls or sit ups with no pain, even on stone flooring. I haven't decided which side I prefer the most, the darker blue is rougher but grippier, and the lighter purple is very soft to the touch so it feels nicer...I vary them by workout. It has no smell, such a pleasant change from most mats, and it is green, so you can follow your practice knowing you are doing good for yourself and the environment. ...

Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Jacket


... I love this jacket. It is so soft and I like that it does not have a hood. It has two inside pockets which is nice for keys and ID. I purchased a size small and am 5'4" 115 lb and it fits perfect. I purchased a red jacket and did notice that the color faded a slight bit after washing, but no balls and seems to wear well. I wish that I had the money to buy more. ...

Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Capri


... These pants are great - so soft and comfortable, and they look smooth without being binding - no lumps and bumps, just cute pants. I wear a size 12-14 in jeans usually, and I wasn't sure which size to order, given some of the reviews here about running small, especially because I have very full thighs. I decided to order according to the chart at Beyond Yoga - my measurements fell on the bigger side of large for the waist and hip, so I went with it. I wanted to make sure my pants would stay put in Vinyasa and Bikram classes so I didn't want them sliding down - I wanted them snug. When I got them, I actually thought the large might be a little too loose in the waist - but they were so comfy and flattering I didn't want to return them. When I wore them to my first class, I had no problems with them sliding around and though I was sweating like crazy in an especially humid room, they held their shape and kept me dry. I will definitely buy more pairs. ...

Beyond Yoga Supplex Gathered Legging


... I like the shape of these better than the capris, but the capris fit me better in the crotch/waist area. I got the extra-small size leggings, which fit perfectly on the legs but the crotch area is a little baggy and the waistband comes up too high and is too loose. I'm also not keen on the inseam that runs over the crotch area at the front. My capris have these too, but because the fit is better it's not uncomfortable. If you are very petite like me, I'd advise against getting these and go for the capri style (the ones with slightly flared legs) instead. I also love, love, love the shorts (although not for yoga as they are a bit revealing in open-legged positions!) and wear them all the time.

Unlike some others here I love the gathered hems; it makes them unique and stylish. The gathering is designed to flatter as it widens the leg slightly at the bottom to avoid that 'thick thighs' look.

The color-eggplant-was lovely. I will definitely wear these but they are not perfect if, as I said, you are small-waisted. ...

Gaiam Eco-Friendly Reversible Yoga Mat


... I was looking for a health and eco-conscious mat. While this mat is free of PVC and latex, it still has a noxious smell which interferes with my yoga practice. It is possible that the smell will off-gas over time, but I'm not keeping it long enough to find out. It is made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) which is a blend of plastic and rubber; this makes it better than the cheaper all-synthetic mats which may also contain harmful PVCs, but it's still not all that "green". It is a good size: 24"W x 68"L x .18"(4mm) thick. It provides good cushioning but it is only mildly textured and offers poor traction. After using it every day for two weeks, I'm returning it. ...

... I have tried the Manduka Mat, a yoga rug, a Gaiam mat, and a $2.00 mat from TJ Maxx. This Harmony mat is the best BY FAR! I love yoga. I practice every day. I sweat profusely. This mat DOES NOT SLIP. It is fantastic! The Manduka Black Mat slipped so badly it was distracting to my practice. You will not have this problem with this mat. The extra thickness is an added bonus for me. It may take some time to adjust to the thickness in balancing poses, but it's good to challenge yourself. Worth every penny! I promise!
P.S. It does smell a bit like tires, but the non-slippage and comfort outweighs the smell. ...

Manduka Eco Yoga Kit (5mm thick eKO mat and Natural Cotton MatSak)


... I have been using this mat about 3 times a week for just a few months, at first I didn't like it because I prefer the black original Manduka mat more because it's more solid. Later on I started liking this eko mat, but now I don't like it because I can't get a good grip with my hands, either it's because when I do forward fold I always have my feet there or I don't know why, but just the front of the mat that is so smooth that it doesn't have any grip... so I don't recommend it... not to mention I haven't used it for that long. I prefer the black Manduka if you don't mind the weight. ...

Unless you are like the woman advertising the pants on the website, you won't look that fantastic but I wouldn't give these up for anything! They are too soft not to wear!!! I've been known to use them as pajamas on business trips because they remind me of home and are very comfortable. 4-stars because I don't have the bikini model's body for these and because they are not cheap.

Hugger Mugger Deluxe Wool Yoga Blanket


... I don't think I've ever given less than a 3 on any review. This blanket had a chemical stench that was probably left by some chemical that's banned from use in the US. It smelled something like formaldehyde. It just cut through the mind. The smell was so bad that I had to put it outside in the back of the truck until I got it to the dump. I didn't want to wash it and get whatever was on it in my washing machine or in the septic system. A blanket like that is no good to me. I can't believe anyone else would use it, especially for what's supposed to be a spiritual and uplifting exercise.

I bought a Manduka mat and it smelled, but this blanket was much worse. I understand the manufacturing process may result in a slight odor, but there has got to be a better way than this. The only thing I can understand is that the absolute cheapest and most toxic chemical was used to prevent insect damage of the wool and provide the absolute maximum shelf life. Yep, I'm not happy about it. I've owned a lot of wool blankets and I know they didn't smell like that, or seem so cheaply made and thin.

Sorry, but it was that bad. ...

It seems to compress the creases meant to give you grip and absorb any sort of moisture within the first few minutes of working out.
