I've had mine for years and use it nearly every day. Primarily I use it as a prop under my knees to relax or do restorative yoga. Sometimes I roll on my side and use it to prop an arm and/or leg. I don't know why the product description says it's good for seated asana; maybe someone can add a comment to explain that.
It's good that it has a strap, and that strap is not going to come off! The cover is washable too, but don't put it in the dryer.
I've given these to expectant mothers and always receive an enthusiastic thank you. They help the mommies-to-be get comfortable.
This is too thick for pranayama. If you want a bolster for that, get the standard one. But I do recommend this product wholeheartedly.』
(good buy) 『this is a nice, study round yoga bolster for the price. it would be nice if it had handles on both ends but having one is okay too.』

(Good yoga block) 『My yoga studio has the foam bricks that many of us have seen before. These are useful for a few poses, and I wanted something similar for home practice. But I could not justify purchasing a "foam" brick, since these are actually made of plastic that is really nasty in terms of manufacturing. I don't want to put my money towards that. Obviously the world does not need more plastic crap that will end up in a landfill.
So I bought this one. It's more substantial than a typical foam brick - slightly larger and heavier, without being unwieldy. I have small hands and I do not find it to be too large. As an added bonus, I find the surface of this block to be slightly less slippery than the foam blocks, always useful for when your hands get sweaty.
I'm very happy with this purchase.』 『Now in a larger size, Cork Yoga Blocks are made from a sustainably harvested resource. Lightweight yet extremely durable, stable and solid. Rounded edges for extra comfort. Blocks are 9"L x 4"D x 6"W. Made in Portugal.』 『Improve your yoga routine with this low-impact yoga block. The all-natural cork block, which measures 9 by 4 by 6 inches (W x H x D), will help you refine your alignment and balance in certain standing and sitting poses. It's particularly effective in lyengar yoga, which employs props within its postures to improve strength, stamina, and flexibility.

IPhone 3G used's review (Great Yoga Pants) 『Very comfortable pants which fit nicely. The material is soft and really does a good job in keeping me feel dryer. I also like the fact that they are not full leg length. I purchased a few pairs and lounge around with these now.』
(Best yoga pants EVER!) 『I love these yoga pants! So soft and comfortable. They run pretty true to size. I normally wear a size 4 (Lucky Brand jeans) and I ordered a small and they fit like a dream. Also, I sweat a ton in a non-hot yoga class (ashtanga or vinyasa) and with these I don't get visible sweat in places you don't want sweat to show. Totally worth the money! And because they are cropped, my ankles get air circulation, helping to keep me cool.』
(I Love Them) 『A really good buy, they are so soft and comfortable with an excellent fit. The price is so good that I plan on purchasing a few more pairs in different colors.』
(Love these capris) 『Beyond Yoga supplex is the best for yoga, especially heated, hot or bikram. They never feel cold, clammy or wet even when they're drenched and they hold their shape perfectly. I live in these. The plum is a great color to change things up and it's dark enough that it never shows bad "sweat patterns". Highly recommended! I have four pairs.』 『The Beyond Yoga Original Capri provides style and function. The length hits the leg at the lower-calf with a slight flare for full range of motion. The fit of this supplex/lycra flatters every body type while wicking away sweat. The flatlock seams provide a smooth interior to prevent irritation during your practice. The unique contour waisband can be worn high on the hip or folded for a lower waistline. The supportive stretch front panel is also perfect for expectant mothers.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Ulta Mat Bag) 『The bag is to small but the cost of shipping is so high I did not return it. And no I would not purchase from this company again.』
(It ain't easy.) 『It is very difficult getting my mat out of the bag. If I ever got to yoga class late, I might as well pack it in, because it takes 5 mns. to get the mat out of the bag. I literally have to turn the bag inside out. Getting it in is only fractionally easier.』
(good product) 『this bag makes hauling my yoga mat around much easier. It's good for a 1/4 inch mat, but not anything much thicker.』
(Cheap&easy.) 『I bought this one because it was the cheapest I could find and didn't need anything fancy. It is a nice looking bag and keeps my mat clean when I'm not using it. It makes the mat easier to carry to class as well, which is its real purpose.』
(Very nice yoga mat bag.) 『Again, way to go Hugger Mugger! I love your yoga cushions, now I love your yoga mat bag! Light weight, inexpensive, yet keeps my mat clean and protected. No pockets, but I just velcro it to the bottom of my yoga backpack. Now, when I set my bag down my mat doesn't get dirty. It's the simple things in life that make me happy ... ;-)』 『Our lightweight nylon Ultra Mat Bag offers some wonderful features that make it a very useful item to carry your yoga props in. It has a drawstring closure and a shoulder strap. It easily fits the Tapas Basic Mat, the Tapas Sticky Mat, the Tapas Ultra Mat, or the Airex Mat.』 『Tote your yoga mat in comfort with the Hugger Mugger Ultra mat bag. Economical and secure, the mat is made of durable nylon, with a drawstring closure keeping your mat safely inside. The included strap, meanwhile, fits comfortably over your shoulder for easy transport. Compatible with any Hugger Mugger yoga mat, the Ultra bag is available in an array of colors, including red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and black.
About Hugger Mugger Sara Chambers, founder of Hugger-Mugger, was an accomplished woodworker when she came to yoga. Its tremendous impact on her health made yoga a way of life for Sara. She began developing wooden and fabric tools to help with her practice. Local teachers and students asked Sara to make things for them, and word spread. Sara continued to develop products for fellow yogis, including the company’s namesake, Hugger-Muggers, the now-famous unisex yoga shorts with a legband around the thighs to cover what’s underneath. Since the word hugger-mugger means to conceal, the catchy name Hugger-Mugger fit.
Among Hugger-Mugger's most noted designs is the Tapas Sticky Mat, which has become the yoga practice essential. Predecessor mats were not designed specifically for yoga and would deteriorate quickly with us. The Tapas Sticky Mat was the first long-term performance yoga mat and continues to set the standards for the industry.
For more than 20 years, Hugger-Mugger has been known as an innovator of technically excellent yoga products serving yoga teachers and students throughout the world. Hugger-Mugger is committed to developing products of performance, style, and comfort. The company strongly believes in the benefits of the practices of yoga and meditation.
IPhone 3G used's review (Comfy, wouldn't have paid full price for it.) 『For $34, it is an okay little jacket to wear around the house instead of a sweatshirt or going to or from yoga class. The quality is fine, but not great. I'd definitely never have paid full price for this item.』
(just the perfect jacket) 『i had been looking everywhere for a chocolate brown lightweight yoga or track jacket... and this one exceeded my expectations in every way. it's incredibly soft, is cut for women (it actually has a waist), and the sleeves and body are slightly long, which makes for a comfortable and flattering fit. i was so happy with the first one, i immediately went back online to order another one for myself and one as a christmas gift for a friend. beautiful, high quality -- and you can't beat the sale price.』
(Love at first sight) 『I bought the Ocean colored jacket, and I put it on the second it arrived. The color is gorgeous, and a bit more blue than the image shows. The material is so soft and perfectly thick - not too hot or too bulky. I already know how much I will wear this. The fit is trim, but not too tight. I will hopefully be buying a pair of the pants now that I know how great this fabric is. Highly recommend this product to yoga enthusiasts and anyone looking for a nice alternative to a weekend sweatshirt.』 『This absolutely stylish zip-up jacket is made from the same incredibly soft supplex blend as the rest of the amazingly popular Beyond Yoga line. It makes the perfect companion to the Beyond Yoga Pant or the Beyond Yoga Capri, or anything else you might have in your closet! Features a full front zip, side pockets, and moisture-wicking supplex to keep you dry. This jacket is an ideal outer layer for both errands and working out. We wear our all the time! 90% Supplex / 10% Lycra. Available in black and chocolate brown.』

Also, there's no way to secure the surplus strap, which seems excessively long. Overall, it is a nice item though.』 『yoga Find a wide variety of Great Deals at drugstore.com, where you get 5% back and free shipping!』 『Need an easy way to carry around your yoga mat?

IPhone 3G used's review (Hard to get the mat in the bag) 『This is a good mat, but has 2 problems:
1. It is not so easy to get the mat in the bag because sometimes the mat sticks to the bag and it would take a while to get it into the bag.
2. Sometimes the mat becomes slippery and when I am doing yoga, my hands slip after a while on the mat.
Other than these 2 problems, it is a functional and nice looking mat.』
(Love the extra cushion!) 『This is a great sticky mat. I had first purchased a thinner mat and found that my knees would get sore because there just wasn't as much cushion as I would like. I didn't want to use a blanket or towel, as I was concerned about slipping out of a pose. This was an excellent solution! The color is great too. I stack the mats as well or roll up the end for certain poses and they seem to stay pretty fairly where I place them.』 『This Yoga Mat and Yoga Bag combo is one of our most popular items. It's made of long-lasting PVC polymers for durability and performance. Offers more cushioning under spine for abdominal exercises and yoga inversions. Delivered in shoulder-carry black mesh bag with leaf-pattened straps and auto-lock drawstring. SIZE: 1/4"x72"x24"』
IPhone 3G used's review (Straightforward) 『Well, it's a strap. There's not much to say about straps. But, well, this one is purple! Good color :). Seriously, the width is good -- it helps hold certain yoga positions. The clasp is tight. The weave is nice, allowing for a soft touch from the strap. I highly recommend this. Plus, the name rocks -- Hugger Mugger. Who can resist? :)』
(Good product!) 『I am really satisfied with this yoga strap. Nothing more to add about the strap. Does its job well!』
(Does exactly what it's supposed to do.) 『I purchased this strap because I didn't want a teal or pink or any color of strap. I find them obnoxious. Don't ask me why, I just don't like 'em. Also, I've only had good luck with Hugger Mugger brand.
I got the 8-foot because I figured that since this is the longest you can buy, I wouldn't need the shorter ones. That and I'm incredibly inflexible, and having a strap to sort of extend your reach is rather nice.
No complaints whatsoever. I love the feel of the cotton rather than the nylon straps they make, which hurt my hands with extended use. The natural fibers are much gentler. The buckle is quality, pretty heavy duty. With what most people use these straps for, I can't imagine it breaking.』 『Our cotton straps are useful for yogis of all levels. We offer two buckle styles on sturdy 1-1/2 inch cotton webbing that adjust easily and hold securely. Our designer fabric cotton straps are soft to the touch. A size label on each strap makes it easy for teachers and students to know at a glance which strap to use.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great Yoga Mat) 『I have tried many yoga and pilates mats and this mat is the best ! The thickness gives me just the right amount of support and comfort. This mat is a winner. I also like the choice of colors 』 『The gorgeous lotus flower is the inspiration for Wai Lana's extraordinary Lotus Yoga&Pilates Mat. With twice the thickness of a standard yoga mat, it provides extra cushioning to create a comfortable foundation for both yoga and Pilates exercises. (1/4"H x 24"W x 68"L) Latex-free (tested by an independent laboratory).』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Superthick mat easy on the knees!) 『I researched a lot of mats and this is the one that seemed to be the thickest, something that's really important for the knees. This product totally delivered on "thick"! I love this mat!』
(Not for yoga...) 『But probably great for pilates and floor exercises. I found my mat migrating around the yoga studio with me on it...not sticky enough. And as another reviewer mentioned, it's a bit too thick for balancing on safely. If you've a bad back/knees, I can see where these issues may be overlooked to keep your sore bits comfortable during your yoga practice. I ended up doing all my standing poses on the floor, as my balance isn't great to begin with! Plenty long for me, and I'm 5'8. It did smell initially, but I left it outside for a few days and no more stink. Nicely made, but not exactly what I needed.』
(good mat) 『My husband and I recently moved from an apartment with carpet to a house with hardwood floors. These mats provide the right cushion for yoga in the new house. My only complaint is that it isn't wide enough for some moves, so I usually push two of them together.』
(thick mat with minimal slipping) 『I purchased the Superthick exercise mat because the tile floor in my livingroom is textured and I didn't think the thinner mats would be able to cover all the little bumps and grooves adequately. With the Gaiam Superthick Fitness Mat I had no idea the surface under me wasn't totally smooth. I had minimal slipping the first couple of times I used the mat, and after that I had no problems maintaining yoga poses. Now that we have an area rug, I am not sure how well a mat this thick will perform (will update after my next workout). I do think a thick mat makes it harder to balance as it has more "give" than a thinner mat, but I did not find it problematic on the tile floor. I did not notice a strong odor, but I know when I was shopping for mats and reading reviews, odor was a common problem among different styles. I have not tried the "free" stretch DVD that came with this mat, instead I have been using Yoga-Pilates Fusion (Kathy Ackerman) and the combination of the DVD and the Superthick Mat has made for some great workouts! I love the carry strap, even though I don't carry my mat to the gym. I could if I wanted to, and it makes it easy to store. I alternate how I roll up the mat (smooth side in, smooth side out, roll from opposite ends) so that I don't end up with one end overly curled. So far it lays flat every time! Highly recommended if you know you'll need more padding than a standard yoga mat (we'd always double up at the gym, no need for an extra mat with this mat!).』
(Great Mat) 『Gives great cushion to my knees! I have had surgery on both knees so it is great to finally be able to kneel. Also a great mat for simple meditation. I can comfortably lie on the floor and relax.』 『Enjoy sink-into-the-earth stretches, padded Pilates sessions and joint-cushioned vinyasas. This super-thick, ribbed mat is lightweight and portable and provides knee-cushioning comfort in yoga or Pilates classes. Includes a sampler DVD that introduces basic stretches and alignment. Made in China. Mat: 68"L x 24"W x 3/8"D, Rolled: 6.25" diameter. Carry strap: 19"L.』 『Whether you're practicing yoga, standing on your head, doing summersaults, or performing a host of other fitness routines, this Gaiam extra-thick fitness mat is a must. The 10 mm foam mat provides the ultimate in cushioning, making most floor exercises far more comfortable than with traditional mats. Plus, the mat is durable and long lasting, and adds a fashionable touch to any room in the home.
