I ordered this mat, because I wanted to try a thicker mat for yoga's. This mat is relatively thick and soft, so that you can sit comfortably on it for relaxation, but not suitable for yoga exercises. With exercises in the state (for example, on one leg) one must also balance, as the pad is too soft. In the exercise "down facing dog" moves and stretches the mat in the length and partly in width, thereby firm grip possible only with difficulty. The mat is also very sensitive to pressure. It was delivered; rolled with tape. The imprint of the belt is deep and permanent. Also footprints, footprints of trousers, etc. are to be seen and not go back. I have the mat about a week in use and for that she is unfortunately very worse for wear - pity ,!
