The mat is sticky and heavy and perfect for my hot workouts. I use it for pilates and hot yoga. Can't say enough about how pleased I am it came with a strap to carry the mat and use in class. I do not slip one bit on this mat, and also purchased the matching sized towel for when I am really dripping in Bikram. Awesome!

amazingly non slip!
I use it easily 4 times a week for hot Pilates!

I am a 6’ woman who tends to work out on different surfaces and used this almost daily for the last ~2 years. This mat has gone through so much with me! I have realized that over hardwood floor is best, but over a rug or carpet is still preferable than other yoga mats. It is quite heavy and weighty, but I LOVE the length. When i’m working out I don’t have to try to keep in mind my footing or where I lay my head due to the extra spacing. I would recommend!

I used my new mat (XL Pro 84”) for the first time today. Oh…my…goodness! What a difference! Heavy enough to stay in place. Great grip to the floor. Excellent cushioning. The natural rubber was comfortable on the skin.

Fantastic product! Thanks for making it!

I've been using Jade yoga mat (famous for its non-slipperiness) for years, until it was worn out and made rubbery scraps all over the mat. I couldn't go back to the cheap yoga ones, and was searching for an alternative. The Manduka mat seemed to be the only option (yet too expensive), before I discovered Tatago.- This yoga mat approximates the non-slipperiness of the Jade yoga mat. It adheres to the wooden floor due to its heavy rubber material. (Once placed, it won't move easily!) It provides enough stability when I'm doing the down dog pose (on cheap mats, my hand easily slips down).- the XL size is just perfect for doing extra stuffs than yoga, such as self-massaging, as I have to roll back and forth. As a 5.5 feet woman, I was okay with the standard mat size for doing yoga, but the extra space gives me more possibilities of movement even when I do yoga. (This size should be the standard for the taller people!)- color and texture: the black color is actually close to dark gray (the shade changes depending on the surrounding light). It has a glossy, smooth texture. I was not a fan of black, but it looks beautiful and professional! I wonder what the other colors actually look like (hard to know from the product description). Also I hope there are more color options in the future (I'd love to see violet or beige!).
