At first I was a little nervous about the $68 price tag of this mat (5mm reversible in black), but after learning about all the features I decided to give it a try! The textured side of the mat is used when practicing regular temperature yoga, and the smooth side is used when practicing hot yoga. I was informed that the mat has sweat wicking properties that prevent you from sliding all over the place during a hot class. The mat does have a bit of a factory rubber smell to it, but that goes away after a while. I would suggest cleaning this mat with an oil free cleaner to prevent from causing any damage to your mat. I use my mat 3-5 days a week and I absolutely love it.

I love the Lululemon Yoga Mat. I have bought a Old Navy one before this one because I didn't know if I was going to enjoy doing yoga in the first place. I start using the Old Navy one and its started to fall apart. I bought it for $15 dollars. I say you might as well buy the Lululemon one because you will be buying a high end yoga mat and you'll be saving yourself from buying another one in the future! I highly recommend this mat!
