Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Nice mat, but not as bold as the picture) 『Overall I think this is a good mat for the price. I bought another one from a different website (barefootyoga, in Amethyst) and they compare very well(except for one area, see below). There is a slight 'eww gross' smell when you first unroll it, but I didn't notice it anymore after about 3 uses. Some people have complained about it 'not being sticky' enough, but sticky mats by nature become stickier the more you use them.
My only beef was due to the coloration in the one I recieved. I love the stripey pattern, but mine was much more subtle than the picture shows. In fact when I first got it and it was still rolled up in the plastic I thought it was all one color. Only when I unrolled it did I see there was some stripy-ness to it. But it almost looks accidental as its much fainter and not uniform. I'll have to post a picture so other people can see some variation on what they may recieve. In contrast my other mat from the other website, matches the patterns shown to a T and is striped throughout rather than in patches.
But overall, its still a nice looking and usefull mat. I bought it to use in cold winter months when I need some 'warming aesthetics', lol. I will be buying more as I like a variety of colors.』
(Nice BUT....) 『I love the color and the quality seems nice on this yoga mat. My only issue with it is that it tends to get slippery upon sweating. My MAIN reason for purchasing a yoga mat was because the mat I was using (just an old used exercise mat but thick!), was due to a tendon injury from slipping during a pose. I researched these TO DEATH before I finally decided on this one based on the good reviews and the price. If anyone claims that this mat doesn't get slippery when sweating they're not sweating! Perhaps over time it will somehow get..."worked in"...and the slippery factor isn't HORRIBLE but it's a factor I was so trying to remedy in this purchase.... It IS soft, and colorful and seems sturdy although I found it to gather up at times during transitions from poses like downward dog into upward dog....and the like. It's not a BAD mat but I was expecting something more tactile and less smooth.』
(Disappointed) 『I am very disappointed. The picture of the mat shows a striped pattern. The mat I received does not have a pattern. I bought this one for the stripes. If I knew it was a solid color I wouldn't have wasted my money on this one.』
(Perfect yoga mat) 『This mat has it all. It's beautiful (the colors are rich and vibrant), and the texture is perfect (soft, sticky, durable). My first mat was from Gaiam, which has a beautiful print but is too slippery. My second was Savasa Natural Designs Collection Yoga Mat, which is nice but a little thin and starting to show wear. The Hugger Mugger mat's colors are part of the material (not just a print on top), and it feels substantial while also providing a great surface for holding poses. I'm surprised by how much I like the orange-red color, but it's so nice, I might just have to buy a purple-blue one as well!』 『The Nature Collection of yoga mats features a beautiful blended pattern on our Sticky Mat. You get the same great qualities of non - slip and durability plus exciting patterns inspired by nature. It offers insulation from cool floors and can be rolled or folded for use in poses. This Sticky Mat measures 1/8" x 24" x 68".』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (The best gift I've received in years...) 『I received this cd for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. In fact, it has been playing most of the time since I got it! It creates a very soothing and relaxing atmosphere without being monotonous. I have different meditation cd's, but I have never heard spiritual sounds being used in such a creative and diverse way. Each track has a unique style. Wai Lana and Siddha both have very soft and touching voices that are also at times incredibly powerful. I find this cd has a deep, positive effect on my mood and attitude. I just ordered their other cd, Yoga-Music of the Heart, and can't wait to receive it. I hope it's as great as this one.』
(Yoga Sound is a God-send!) 『Yoga Sound is the most wonderful surprise I could have ever hoped for. It is so soothing and relaxing - I find I can listen to it all day long and never grow tired of it. As a result, I gave it to several of my friends as a gift and they absolutely love it. One friend is a yoga teacher and another a massage therapist - they told me their students and clients really enjoy it and always comment on how nice it makes them feel. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who is looking to calm their mind from the daily stresses of everyday life.』
(70's Revisited) 『"Yoga Sound: Wai Lana&Siddha" CD by Gold Moon Productions....
Lately I've been enjoying the benfits of excercising to Yoga.I find it to be mentally refreshing and physcially challenging,with visable results.. More and more I find myself adding Yoga sessions to my workouts, so I thought I'd give this music a try to add a little ambiance to the routines.
Although there were a couple of tracks that had that ambiance I was looking for, I think that for that most part, you would really have to be into the spiritual side of Yoga to appreciate this music. I guess I am not! It did not relax me. In fact, there were times when I was stricken with intense and vivid flashbacks of being at the airport in L.A. in the 70's, being surrounded by people chanting at me, and me not having a dollar for a flower! This is not meant to be offensive to anyone who enjoys this type of music, it just wasn't what I had in mind for me personally.
The up side is that if you do enjoy this genre, you will find 10 tracks, that are all a good enough length to "get into". They run from 3:36 to 12:29(most being somewhere in between).I also find that it is always enlightening, to at least experience music of all types and cultures.There is a list of the songs, and a few that you can listen to samples of in the buying info here. They are short but may give you some idea of what to expect.
I will be passing my copy on to someone who will appreciate this more than I do.
"Om Hari Om"......remember to breathe...and thanks...Laurie』
(The Best Music Ever) 『I bought this CD because I watch and practice with the show as well as love the music on the show. I was thoroughly enchanted by the sublime vocals. Siddha's voice ranges from sweet and smooth, to emotional and grand, while Wai Lana's beautiful and enchanting voice sends warmth through your body. These two coupled with incredible guitarists, majestic pianists, and wonderful drummers bring to you a beatiful album. 12 songs of incredible depth. My personal favorite is track 7, Lionheart. Lionheart is the most incredible song on the album. You will find yourself singin along to this song while it's playing, and singing it when it's not. The guitarist outdoes himself on this song with an incredible passionate intro, interlude, and accompaniment, while the pianist shows the true depth to his own skills. If you ever want a CD of relaxing music, this is it. I myself do not believe in the Indian religion, (being a Christian), however I do use this album to relax at any time. It is perfect for any genre of music.』
(EXCELLENT! from a music lover) 『Wow! What a nice, beautiful CD! I was expecting it to be so unworthy to buy because of the reviews i read about this WAI LANA CD....but I bought it anyway...good thing I didn't listen to those who wrote negative reviews about this CD...This CD is actually beautiful...the songs are a combination of different yogic mantras with different instruments...creating a very unique, beautiful sound..that can make your whole body and mind relax...:) So for those who wants to try this CD but taken aback by the negative reviews, please try to understand that every person has his own taste...some may like it, some may not...so feel free to try and listen to it... :)』 『Yoga sound is the heart and soul of yoga. Let Wai Lana's Yoga Sound take you on a meditative journey far beyond the stress, strain, and anxiety of everyday life. Get loose! Sing and dance with this colorful blend of ancient Sanskrit chants and songs with modern instruments and melodies. Beautiful! Dynamic! Uplifting!

IPhone 3G used's review (exciting) 『Yoga for kids is a great way for children to learn to control thier body and to stay focused. It is also a great tool for relaxing and claming down.』
(A must have for special needs famlies) 『I run social skills groups for children with developmental delays such as autism, ADHD, speech and language delays, sensory integration dysfunction etc. I have used this kit with children as young as 2.5 and as old as 9. They love it. The cards are great, very kid friendly, especially if you laminate them. The visuals are great and the children really relate to the animal posses. I have used the kit so much that it worn out. I can't tell you how many parents have asked where they can find the kit. I LOVE IT!』
(The kids LOVE this......) 『My 5 year old daughter is in a Summer Camp and they just introduced this yoga kit to them a week ago and the kids (ages 4-6) absolutely LOVE it! They couldn't wait to pull out their yoga mats and show me how well they could do the poses. I was so amazed that these kids that had no idea what yoga was 2 weeks ago were so into such a relaxing and fun activity.』
(Great for even young children!!) 『I am the teacher of 15 2 1/2 to 3 year olds. On Wednesday afternoon, we put on a soothing sounds CD and do yoga in our large group area. The children LOVE it and look forward to it. When my co-teacher suggested it, I couldn't believe that it would keep the attention of 2-year-olds, but it does!!! They aren't all able to do all the positions, but they try. I hold up each card so they can see it, do the position myself, and when I think they are all doing the best they can, we all count to 10. It is a huge hit! I highly recommend it!』
(Kids Love It) 『I am a social worker and work with kids. Once this kit was given to a family with a young child age 7 with many behavioral difficulties. While he typically has difficulty following directions and sustaining interest - he LOVED this game and followed along a lot longer than I expected. His sister age 5 also loved it. I recently also put the kit in a toy box of mine and another 3 year old I work with pulled it out right a way and said "lets do this." The 3 year old loves it, is able to follow along, and also likes being the "teacher" and holding out the cards for her mommy and me to do the poses. The cards have a picture on each side and she was able to name each pose- mouse, table, peacock, etc on her own without any help reading (she was able to be teacher only after playing the game 2ce).
All and All - KIDS LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
I highly recommend it.』 『Both a game and a teaching tool, this kit combines fun, fitness, and imagination. It includes 24 oversized 5 inch x 7 inch yoga cards with a yoga pose on one side and a short poem describing the pose on the other. There's also a 24 page Teacher's Guide that makes using yoga simple and fun, plus a 40 minute CD with 20 minutes of energizing classical music and 20 minutes of relaxing instruments. The kit provides hours of non-competitive play, and the exercises will help children develop strength, concentration, balance, and flexibility.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (So So) 『This is not my favorite as many of her positions are too advanced for my older body type. I do still use them occasionally though and just do what I can.』
(a joyful practise) 『I really enjoy these tapes--they're fun. I always feel good and cheerful afterwards. Wai Lana doesn't make the whole thing as deadly serious as many yoga tapes do. This is NOT a tape for beginners. (If you are starting out you should try her Easy series) I need more warm up than she provides--perhaps because I do these tapes first thing in the morning and I'm 64. I often do a beginners tape (Easy) by Wai Lana first, or perhaps Rodney Yee's AM Yoga or some such. I alternate every couple of days with another of my yoga tapes or with the NY City Ballet Workout. Wai Lana is very charming. I love the way she has a different outfit for each asana complete with flowers around her neck, head, wrists and ankles. She demonstates on small carpet against killer natural settings. The slight Chinese accent and the sweetness of her voice don't hurt either. But that doesn't mean this isn't a genuine work out. I have bought the Fun Challenge series too which are more advaced and which I hope to start on soon.』
(flexibility, centering, endurance) 『This is absolutely my favorite yoga series! I saw it on PBS once years ago, and tried it, and was completely impressed with how relaxed and alive I felt afterwards. However, with so much hype about power yoga, I tried a popular power yoga series, and found that the instructor's abundant use of quick jumps into downward dog aggravated the herniated disc in my lower back.
Wai Lana is completely different. Her emphasis is on flexibility and using yoga to "open" your body up (thus opening up your spirit). She holds the poses for a fairly long time, thus strengthening your endurance, and calmly reminds you to breath or focus on this or that muscle just at the moment when you've forgotten. Do not mistake the meditative pace of this series. This is a real workout for real yoga enthusiasts. Poses can be modified for those who do not possess her contortionist bendy-ness, but her own posture continues to challenge and inspire me.
The backdrop is magnificent nature featuring the Hawaiian coastline and other spectacular places, and the music is gentle, and new agey--soothing.
I give Wai Lana my highest recommendation! I bought the video series almost 10 years ago, and love it so much, I just re-purchased on DVD.』 『Videos included are :Wake Up Body DVD, Invigorating DVD, and Goodbye Inertia DVD

IPhone 3G used's review (Versatile bag!) 『I have the black mandara hugger mugger mat (which is wider and longer than a standard mat). Not only does it fit in the bag, but I can also fit my block and towel with room to spare--VERY ROOMY :) This was exactly what I was looking for.』
(Great Fabric) 『This Yoga Mat Bad is a little larger than most. The fabic is ligh and the color is bright. It is also very eash to clean. Snow, ice and salt are issues in our part of the country so after getting a bit dirty during our walk to work out, we took it home and all we needed to do was sponge it off. It looks great.』
(hmmmm...) 『This bag has a great color, and it does the job that it's supposed to. I can even fit my yoga pants and water bottle in here, but it's a little too big. It does not hang comfortably on my back, and it's way too awkward at my side. I guess it was worth it because I like the way that it looks, but it didn't even come with a yoga mat.』
(Looked better online) 『I would not have bought this bag if I had seen it in person. It will suffice, but it's too floppy looking to be rocking on the streets with style.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Vary Good Belt&Value) 『This is a real nice purchase for your yoga practice to help with poses and really be able to do some stretches.
Very resonably priced and good quality and comfortable.
It is holding up well during consistent use.』
(Nice belt) 『I can't see spending bundles of money for a strap when this one does the trick.』
(nice yoga strap) 『I needed a yoga strap for my first yoga class. This strap was in my price range. I am very pleased with my selection and recommended it to other people in my class.』
(Great Yoga Strap!) 『This is a great strap to use for exercising. I suppose there could be other uses too, but so far I've had limited use. But when I've used the strap it has performed as I needed it to be. I like this better than the elastic bands of various colors. The strap doesn't have a 'rubbery' smell, it doesn't pick up lint etc, plus it's easy to store. I love to use it for the leg extensions since my legs won't straighten on their own. Great buy!』 『Our yoga belts are useful for yogis of all levels. Belts provide length enabling you to grasp limbs that are otherwise too far away.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Eclectic Mix of Soothing, Harmonious Music!) 『I saw Wai Lana on a PBS show for kids and Yoga where I got just a tidbit of her beautiful music, but enough to want to hear more. I came here to amazon.com and listened to every music sample on this CD- it hooked me! I was going to review this CD right off the samples, but thought I had better get the CD first in the remote chance that it was just too good to be true and there might be some less than desirable cuts- like so many other albums that are fluffed and salted with ho-hum fillers.
I needn't have worried about hearing the whole album before reviewing it. It is a soothing, beautiful, lofty, fine mix of several music genres, i.e., Oriental, Indian, Western light rock with some light vocals and nature sounds included here and there. Pardon this perhaps cliche' or cheeky comment, but it truly is uplifting, "feel-good" stuff!
As another reviewer intimated, it is not repetitive and linear like many other meditative music albums. Rather, it structurally, yet gently moves around while retaining the connective thread of gentle, flowing, and harmonic sound.
Undecided? Just try the sample cuts available here and then check out all the other 5-star reviews- I concur with them and since I usually only post reviews on what I consider are 5-star offerings, this is worth sharing . Thank you, Wai Lana and Sidha!
』
(ecclectic, relaxing&oriental inspired - meditation music) 『I have owned this cd for about 3 years now, and looking for more items by Wai Lana&Gold Moon productions, the fancy comes upon me to review it... Whilst encapsulating all the best aspects of oriental and eastern music with none of the boring repetition which can so often predominate the meditation mixes of this kind of album. Never intrusive, it's great thinking music, like the serene ocean - wonderfully restive&deliciously refreshing. For me the best tracks are no.9, and no.2. I often sing along to the tracks with vocals (no.9 Spiritual Love). If you are looking for some sweet relaxing music to chill to, this is for you. Now I'm not saying I play this cd all the time - my musical tastes are too ecclectic for that - but it is the one my son goes to sleep to, and I often have it on repeat overnight. It would have made a great backing track to the movie: Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon. It's that sort of feel.
The best thing is: it's the soundtrack to my favorite yoga instructor!』
(Heartfelt and inspiring) 『When I was young, music was the "soundtrack of my life," and I found a lot of inspiration in my vinyl. Since then, I've found out that shallow lyrics and big egos kind of sour the taste of most commercial music these days and that makes me really choosy in what I listen to. Wai Lana's music is the some of the most genuine, heartfelt, good sounding music around. It's easy to listen to over and over again and inspiring to hear. Listening to it just makes it seem like everything's going to be all right. And knowing what Wai Lana is teaching with her yoga only makes it sweeter.』
(Another Hit) 『I love this album. It is incredible. After I purchased her other CD, Yoga Sound, I had to get this one. And I was amazed once more. Wai Lana is incredibly talented. And singing is definately one of strong points. The album is beautiful. Although there are not many vocal chants like on the other, you will find this CD to be incredible. Every instrument coerces you into a relaxing world, and every song Wai Lana and Siddha sing, relax you even further into a world of true beauty. Again the guitars and pianos and drums are astounding. Definately a great album. I loved it.』
(I can listen to this over and over again.) 『I'm almost deaf from the sort of "music" my son likes to blast. Then one day, I heard something - real music coming from his room. He was playing Wailana's Yoga Music of the Heart. His girlfriend lent it to him. I appreciated it so much, that I had to buy a copy for myself. Now we don't fight over his "music" anymore. We both appreciate Yoga Music of the Heart, and can listen to it over and over again.』 『Let Wai Lana's Music of the Heart transport you to a world of relaxation and inspiration: the world of yoga. Soothe your nerves, calm your mind, and awaken your heart. Beautiful! Inspiring! Melodic!

(Perfect for those of us with length of leg...) 『Great, great, great. I'm 6'2'', and this mat is perfectly long enough. I was tired of stepping off and on to the surface below, so I thought there just HAD to be something else out there...BINGO!
So, tallies - do try...it's nice, thick, and grippy. And the price is pretty darn good too! :)』
(i love my new yoga mat !!!!!) 『The mat is just what I needed, it was affordable and was promptly shipped. Thank you!!』
(Excellent Product) 『For someone over 6 foot and right at 200 lbs a mat like this one is an necessity. Very comfortable.』
(very worthwhile) 『Got this for the extra-tall (6'6") male in my life. The mat's nice&thick (helps cushion your kneecaps during kneeling positions). Sturdy, long-lasting; I'm now pondering the regular-length one for myself.』 『This is a great mat for taller yogis, or those wanting a little extra length in their mat! The mat is 7 feet long, and is a thick, dense mat that not only provides adequate padding, but holds up extremely well over time. At 6.2mm, our extra long yoga mat is a full 1/4" thick, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4" mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat. The extra long mat is available in dark blue, dark purple, black, teal green, forest green, and burgundy.
