I contacted manduka and they explained that the slipping is common during the THREE MONTH BREAK IN PERIOD!!!! They recommned I do 3 sea salt/water treatments on my mat and promised I would be happy after that. In the meantime, I am practing on another mat because I could no longer take compromising my practice. When I use the mat, I actually lay a strap on the top of the mat so i have something to grip and ground down into. i have not tried the mat since i tried the sea salt treatment....we shall see. <br /> <br />however, amazon quickly shipped the product to me...i beleive i received it within 2 days!

Nice n soft yet firm enough to keep your hips, elbows etc. from hurting against the floor. Nice product and it looks of quality as well. <br />Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior over all.

I've been a yoga student for over 7 yrs, but have recently switched to Pilates with a much more dedicated outlook/workout for the past 2, partly due to a recent (2yrs ago) diagnosed lower back issue. This mat appears to be great for yoga, but not nearly thick enough for Pilates. I got this mat hoping there was a happy medium, since I do on occasion still practice yoga at home and in the studio (minus any and all back extensions) So.....planted feet,rib open,extending yogi's you'll love it! Closed rib, hundred, half-roll backers beware!! Rating: 3 / 5 This mat sure as has a lot of hype!

I cannot even use it as it is way too slippery. I have tried everything suggested( scrubbing, sanding, etc.) and nothing works. Don't waste your money. Rating: 1 / 5 This mat is a ridiculous rip off!

I thought I had picked the perfect mat when I ordered this one. I didn't have a problem with the length (although it smelled that new plastic stench) but I did have a problem with the weight. This mat is HEAVY! I knew it would be HEAVY when I purchased it and being a person in somewhat good shape I didn't think I would mind it but I didn't realize that it would be cumbersome. The last straw that made me want to return it was when I was in a yoga class; sweating and I began to slip on the mat. If I am going to spend this amount of money on a yoga mat I don't want any problems. To Amazon's credit I was able to return it and they paid for postage. If I would have had to pay for the return postage myself it would have cost a lot because of how HEAVY it is but I would have paid it anyway (that should tell you how much I didn't like it). I am now looking for a long mat but lighter and toxic free. I want something that will be biodegradable. The problem now is there are so many mats available (too many choices can be just as frustrating as too few).
