Reviews of prAna E.C.O. Yoga Mat

Customer Ratings:

I've only used this mat a handful of times, so I can't speak about the longevity, but I love the feel of it. It is decently cushion-y, and I don't slip too much. I didn't even wash it before first use because I was in a hurry and it worked well enough without a towel. No mat I have ever tried is slip poof, but this one works as well or better than most for me. It is a great value for the price (I paid in the $30-something range), and while blue/banana was not my first choice, I actually find the color attractive and cheerful now. I've never used the top of the line $60-80 mats like Manduka and Jade Harmony, but compared to the average cheap mat this is heaven for me. My studio had some of these so I knew what I was getting into when I bought it. I strongly recommend trying a bunch of mats at studios if you can, everyone has a different idea of what makes a good mat, so I think it is easier to buy one you have tried out and know suits your tastes than it is to guess.

Namaste!

I have just started to do Yoga, and in my opinion this mat is wonderful for that. Firstly, I am very tall, and so it is nice to actually find a mat that I can use. During yoga class I never really go off of my mat because of all of the extra room.

This mat is thick. I love that. Many other people in my yoga classes use 2 to 3 mats on top of each other to have a soft surface, but this mat is thick and does the trick. I have ever had to double up or triple up my mat.

It doesn't just feel good, but it looks good. I have the half yellow, half blue mat, and it is just so happy and beautiful. You can't help but to be happy doing yoga on it!

I've had this mat for awhile and its my favorite mat that I've tried so far. I do wish it was stickier, but I just need to learn to get my muscles to work harder! I love the colors on this mat, right up my alley! Very bright and fun, yet calming. I love that its eco-friendly too.

Honest reviews on prAna E.C.O. Yoga Mat

This mat is just ok, which is a huge disappointment for the price. The pro's are the nice blue/yellow colours and I like the cushioning.

The negatives:

It has a pretty strong off-gassing when your face is near it. The material is still some sort of plastic greenwashing that it is an 'eco mat'.

It does not seem durable. It gets bent very easily and I'm expecting it to tear at any moment.

The mat loses all grip as soon as your hands get sweaty. I do not practice any of the traditional hot yoga classes, but my hatha classes can get intense as well as power yoga and I'm sliding all over the mat. What is the point of a workout mat if you can't grip it during your practice?

The mat also bunches and stretches along the floor.

Super nice quality yoga mat think and comfortable, but most importantly, I started doing Prenatal Yoga, which doesn't require a whole lot of exertion or sweat, and I was slipping all over the place. The free, cheaper yoga mats at the gym worked better I've never slipped on those. This mat would work if you prefer to use a towel or have absolutely no moisture on your hands or feet.
