Do you think a yoga mat would be a reasonable alternative to this product?

I'm sure the cushioning would work, but I'm not sure about the "tackiness" of a yoga mat. This roof mat is honeycombed with cushions, offers good resistance against sliding of your cargo, and was not effected by rain at all. Hope this helps.

It's very thin, so I think you'd be better off with a mat, as well. Plus, without the cushion of a mat underneath, you might feel the grippy dots on the underside of the towel.

I wouldn't use this mat with sneakers or any other work out footgear other then what it was intended for; yoga. In my opinion I think it would probably be fine, since it it such a great mat, but you wouldn't be getting the longevity of the mat like you would if it were only used for yoga or Pilates.

I don't think so.. The carpet still too hard, yet, I would recommend to use a yoga mat..

It's fairly awkward for me to carry, as it is largeand heavy and though it will roll up, it is not very flexible. (Keep in mind I am a 73 yr old partially disabled person.) I use it under my treadmill to avoid floor damage and to absorb round. You might be better off with a heavy duty Manduka yoga mat. I have one of those, and it is amazing for my arthritic knees. They are very dense, so they might work well on the beach.

Yes, that would work. The chilly mat is weighty enough that it would stay in place. However, the cover on top of the mat might be a little slippery and I'm not sure the chilly mat would work as well. It is easy to keep the chilly mat clean -- just a quick wipe with a damp towel.

The mat is rather soft for children's activities. A kids plastic placemat would be a better alternative.

Not really. Most of the workouts don't need a mat. So you need a space as long as you are.

This mat does not get very warm and it is not very large. There are no adjustments. If it is for your feet, there are probably products better for that purpose.

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 works with movement. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of yoga as a lot of position holding. My guess would be no.

Seems the table wold be better. The mat is great on flat hard surfaces though.

I personally like to have a good 1/2 inch thick, 72inch long, 30inch wide yoga mat even on top of comfy carpet, so especially on concrete. My hands and knees in particular get rough way too easy when doing certain poses and pushups and a few other things. The majority of the 1st month workouts in particular would be okay with no padding, but it is all about personal tolerance and preference. I hope that helped a little :)

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

Yes, you would still need a yoga mat underneath the the YogaRat towel as it does not have nubs/grips underneath; there are yoga towels that double up as yoga mats on the market currently but tend to be pricier.

Absolutely! It gives enough cushioning unlike the ridiculously thin Yoga mats, yet it allows you to do standing poses. Another plus is it's good for folks like my husband who has very long legs. This is the Best mat I've ever had.

It's not a yoga mat and would slip on the floor. You could use it in place of the blanket or towel you take to yoga.
