How is the 5mm Gaiam sage lily print premium yoga mat?

The mat was a birthday present for my Granddaughter, she has had 3 of them previously and requested another. I must assume she likes them very much!! I bought her the matching bag and a towel also.

it's great and very cushy, as long as you are not doing hot yoga. If you are it gets slippery with perspiration. I tried my Gaiam mat a few times, then ended up splurging on one of those expensive Lululemon ones.

Get the purple alignment one with the symmetrical pattern - a semi professional tennis player.

Good thickness - I was purchasing it to use on top of another mat (which was too thin for me). I like it very much.

One side is a little more matte than the other. I do yoga on hardwood floor and I have no slipped once. I will say I sink I to it though because it is so cushiony

It's quite snug for me, but it does roll up during yoga. But I figure it might be because I'm very hippy.

Mine measures 20.5" wide. As a side note - be careful which 3rd party seller you order from. My first order (for the Aeromat Fitness Mat) I received a mat similar in appearance to the Aeromat, but it was branded from the 3rd party seller's company. Amazon customer service did handle returning that mat and shipping the correct mat from another 3rd party seller. My point is, if you order an Aeromat, make sure the branding on what you receive matches the photos online. Good luck. The mat is very nice. I used it for Insanity/Focus T25 workouts, but I think it is better suited to yoga or exercising without shoes.

I do yoga regularly and I would NOT use this as a yoga mat but it could be used if you are careful. This mat does not have that "sticky" quality most yoga mats have to hold certain positions. I use a thicker than normal yoga mat I obtained at a local chain sports store. I recall it being called an exercise/Pilates mat. It resembles the LRF - SUPER THICK 68" x 24" Yoga Mat Pad Non-Slip Durable (EVA - 6mm) on Amazon.

Hi. The weave is tighter so is a totally different feel. Yes, it's smooth. I enjoy the colors as I do hot yoga on it, the blue is soothing & cooling for me. I think it keeps me safe from slipping & is comfortable too.

The fabric is more substantial then a microfiber dust cloth. It feels very soft on the skin. The underside has a grid of nubs that grip the mat so there is no sliding. It is the towel of choice for hot yoga classes.

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

It's not very thick, I don't really know what to compare it to, but it's about the thickness of around 4-5 sheets of standard printer paper and so far it's great. It cleans easy and everything bakes wonderfully. My husband is big on researching ahead of time and this mat had the best reviews. I am very happy with it. Hope this helps!

i mean if that's what you you want to do with it, then i guess its good for it. It has really great cushioning for a yoga mat and provides good support for high stress areas of pressure placement. just keep in mind that it has a rectangular shape (mat) and that it is not really a square shaped (pad)

I believe the mat is made by Gaiam who makes fitness products especially for Yoga. The Giam Co. started in Boulder, CO but maybe outsources it's products.

It looks and feels so thin. I guess 3 mm? It is pretty flat thin, but the material is really strong and heavy. If you need an extra cushion, this is not the one you want. However, I like it for my Yoga practice. It doesn't observe moisture so it is easy to clean and dry quickly. I love it myself.

My daughter has really enjoyed this mat. It doesn't slip and is nice and thick. It has a good weight to it. Definitely a good buy.

It's not so much thicker as less slippery. I love this mat. My hands used to slide in down dog...now I can use good form and feel strong.

It's fairly thin but it's the best mat we've ever had........very sure footed and stays put. I highly recommend it.......

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

It's about 1/2 inch thick. It's a good cushion but I wouldn't use it as the main source of a mat. I mean it would be a good additive as an "extra". It would be easy to move around & remember has the hard plastic piece underneath that the battery are placed. Overall it is a great & fun product & the material feels nice
