Liforme Evolve Yoga Mat – Free Yoga Bag Included - Patented Alignment System, Warrior-like Grip, Non-slip, Eco-friendly, Sweat-Resistant, Long, Wide, 4.2mm thick mat for comfort

I've been on the fence about shelling out this much for a yoga mat, but after trying FIVE other mats from Amazon, I'm a LifeForme believer. For reference, I'm a relative yoga beginner, but I've been taking 10-12 classes a week for the past 4 months ranging from vinyasa to Bikram hot. This mat has just the right amount of cushioning without being 'gushy'. I found that mats that were too thick were too hard to do balancing postures. I also prefer just the center line and the vertical lines. I had purchased two other mats with the diagonal lines and found the lines to be mentally distracting. Every posture became 'are my feet or hands lined up with something' and I should have been focused on breathing. The center line is all I need for correct placement. The other thing I like about this mat is that is stays put on the floor, and absolutely does not get slick once I start sweating in Bikram class. A couple of things to note: this mat is heavier than your average yoga mat, but it's much lighter than the much cheaper 'knock off' version. You will also need to unroll this mat to let it dry after a hot yoga class. (It dries within 3-4 hours). I still wish this mat were cheaper, but all in all, I'm very happy with this purchase. Namaste :)

I almost never write reviews. I only write one when I'm over the moon about a product. This is the case with the Lifeform yoga mat. This is really the best yoga mat I found. And I tried out all the top U.S. brands. My new Lifeforme replaced a yoga mat a friend brought home for me from New Zealand 20 years ago! Why did I keep this mat for 20 years? Because I couldn't find a new mat that I liked as much. Not until a friend turned me onto Lifeforme. It's just the right amount of sticky and the size is perfect (I'm 5'5", average build) I much prefer the minimal marking on the EVOLVE vs the original mat. If you practice even only once a week, I think this mat is well worth the investment. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Happy practicing.

Overall I am pleased with the Liforme mat. I had hoped to get it in the orange or yellow, but those colors were unavailable. I usually use a yoga rug on my yoga mats and I have been able not use one with this mat, it is truly non-slip. The alignment system I think would be useful for some one who is new to yoga.The only reason I give it a 4 star instead of a 5 is that it is a bit pricy.... I have lululemon, Jade and Manduka mats and this mat is even quite a bit more expensive than these other premium brands. So if you have a committed practice this might be a goos investment, but if you are just getting started its a LOT to spend on a mat.

If you practice any kind of hot yoga this is the best mat out there... it absorbs sweat without getting slick or slippery. It's a little more expensive than I would normally spend on a mat, but if you have a regular hot practice it's well worth the extra money. I've always used a Lulu mat with a towel, but had issues with the towel bunching up or sliding around- no towel needed with this mat. Cleaning is quick and easy, so no issues there. It is a little heaver than other mats I own, but not a big deal. Only sorry I didn't find this one sooner!

I’ve been doing yoga since 1994 and I’ve had many mats. There are several high-quality mats that I could be happy with but I must admit that this one is the best, so far. You don’t need a towel and you will not slip. I love the grip that your fingers and feet get while you’re moving through your poses. The hardest part of having a towel with that it would gather and twist and move during my practice. I don’t have that problem anymore with this matter. Even my husband loves it! This is worth every penny. I promise.

Ok, I was kind of freaked out by the price of this mat, but when I thought about all the cheap mats I have purchased that are collecting dust, I decided to go for it. I am extremely pleased! The traction was my main interest, and it can't be beat. I really didn't think I wold use the alignment markings, but then I did find myself checking on my positions, and i love them! I researched all of the top rated mats before I bought this one. The contender said it had to be treated with salt or some such to get rid of the slipperiness out of the box. Not this one! You will be ready to go! I WILL say that sometimes I will put it over another mat for the hard wood floor if I am doing a lot of kneeling poses. It is not very cushioned. Nevertheless, the traction is what I was looking for.

Oh my gosh. My wrists, hands and hip bones felt like I was directly on the hard yoga studio floor. Granted there is no slip, but there is no slidding of feet either. I can say that the bag is nice and the mat did not smell. But it is awfully thin. And heavy. Dense perhaps, but still TOO thin.

I was very hesitant to purchase this mat due to the price, however I am very happy with my purchase! My only gripe would be that a lot of particles get stuck to it & it’s not super easy to clean like other mats due to the anti-slip material. This mat has for sure improved my yoga practice & I would purchase again!
