『This Yogitoes Skidless premium yoga towel is the only towel created specifically to prevent slipping while practicing yoga. The towel works intuitively: simply place the side with the silicone eco nubs face down on the yoga mat or low-pile carpet. Once you distribute your weight in a yoga posture, the eco nubs start gripping the mat, thus keeping your hands or feet from slipping in mid-stretch. The towel's 80 percent polyester and 20 percent nylon material, meanwhile, is super absorbent, thus putting a hygienic layer between you and your exercise equipment. The towel, which is machine-washable and dryer-safe (it's designed to dry fast), measures 24 by 68 inches.BargainYoga.com and AbsoluteYogi.com are the exclusive authorized distributors of this limited edition towel in the pumpkin orange color.』 fetish『 Organic Cotton Yoga Mat with Removable Cover 』

IPhone 3G used's review (what you see is not what you get) 『The items size is not the size that is advertised, it is smaller.....and there are some lumps. I gave it to my wife as a gift and she is not willing to be very critical....Pete』 『This is one of the nicest futon style yoga mats you'll ever see. It's organic, extremely well made, is a full 3 feet wide, and is extremely soft and comfortable. The mat has a removable cover that is made from 100% organic cotton. The mat is filled with a generous 3" of plush batting that is 80% organic and 20% chemical free cotton (this blend is used to create a smoother internal batting lining). The mat has attached ties for easy roll-up and storage. Overall size is 70" long by 36" wide by 3" thick. As Yoga is, after all, about satya (truthfulness), we have received feedback from customers that due to compression from packaging and shipping, the thickness of this product is more accurately described as being between 2 and 3 inches.

IPhone 3G used's review (Broke after a month!) 『I mainly bought this bag because it came with a space to put your yoga mat at the bottom. After a month the drawstrings that held my yoga bag broke. I really liked the bag for the month that I used it. This bag is probably not made for people who commute or walk long distances, because the weight of the yoga bag will wear down the drawstrings very quickly. I would not purchase this again.』
(Great design, great bag) 『This may be the best gym bag I've ever owned. What I like best about it is that, while it holds everything I need (with room for more), its vertical design makes it comfortable to carry. When I had a regular gym duffle, it stuck out awkwardly from my side and I felt like I was taking up the room of two people when I was on an elevator or similar crowded situation. The Gaiam bag fits snugly by my side, and the fabric has a nice feel. There are all kinds of pockets, both inside and out, to help organize whatever you're carrying. Well worth the price!』
(Wonderful Bag!) 『I found this bag to be the perfect size for the gym. It fits a change of clothes, shoes, etc. It also has several lined pockets perfect for toiletries and a lock. It is much easier to get on a packed train for my commute with this bag compared to my old gym bag.
Another nice feature-the bag has a wonderful texture and sturdy handles. If you wear it on your shoulder, the straps will not slip off.』
(Great Bag) 『I love this bag. It fits everything perfectly and gets me to the gym on a regular basis. The side pockets are great for water, cell phone or my train card. I use them a lot and the stitching on one of them came loose. Just need to be fixed. Overall great bag and worth the money.』
(everything does fit... because it's HUGE) 『OK, truly everything does fit into this bag, but it's HUGE. Amazon neglected to list the dimensions so here it is (direct from Gaiam's site): 18"L x 8½"W x 13"H
If you're in the suburbs and this bag is going from the trunk of your car into the gym, not a big deal. But, if you live in an urban area like I do, then people are going to think this bag is a dog carrier. Twice already people have asked what kind of dog I have in my bag!
I'm debating returning it, but I will say that:
1. yes, everything fits 2. this bag would also make a good overnight bag』 『Tote your yoga mat and other gear in style with this fashionable, eco-friendly gym bag. The bag, which is made of recycled fabric, holds a number of items--such as a change of clothes, sports gear, and personal items--thanks to its large main compartment and internal pockets. The unique window compartment, meanwhile, accommodates shoes or wet clothes, a must when changing after a sweaty workout. And users will love the elastic band on the bottom, which holds your yoga mat without taking up space in the body of the bag.

IPhone 3G used's review (Two Sides to All Yoga Mats; Know Which Side is Up) 『Yoga mats come in three basic thicknesses. At 3/16" this mat is one of the thicker ones designed for those who need or want extra cushion. At 24" x 68" it is the standard width and length. Mats that are about one third as thick as this one (1/16") are good for travel or placing under a thicker mat to provide more traction. The average mats are about 1/8." Don't be fooled by the picture above; the beautiful silk bags pictured around each mat DO NOT come with these mats. If you'd like a silk bag you'll have to purchase one separately from a different manufacturer. Do an Amazon search for "EverythingYoga Antique Silk Brocade Yoga Mat Bag" and you'll have a choice of four beautiful colors.
There are two sides to this and nearly all yoga mats. Look carefully at the 'bumps' on each side of the mat. The larger bumps are designed to face upwards to cushion your hands, feet, and knees during poses while keeping your body from dangerously slipping out of alignment. The smaller bumps are designed to face downwards to grip the floor and keep the yoga mat from sliding. Many mats have a label on one end with the name of the brand. This is typically, but not always, located on the 'up' side. The bumps will tell you for sure.
This yoga mat will increase in softness and stickiness with use. (So do most mats.) They start out mildly sticky and increase in stickiness the more they are used. You will want to wash your mat when it first arrives so as to remove the thin film they get on their surface during the manufacturing process. Instructions for washing the mat are included. Once you've washed and dried your mat you're ready to begin! After using it for a while, if you find the mat decreasing in stickiness each time you pull it out, this is the typical sign that a light coating of dust or too much body sweat has accumulated on your mat and it needs a light hand washing with very diluted soap and water. After washing, roll your mat in a thick towel to squeeze out the excess water, otherwise it will take forever to dry in the air. Then, air dry your mat unrolled, inside, and away from sunlight. (Hanging over the shower bar works nicely.)
When you first unroll your mat you will find one end to be a bit curled. Simply alternate the direction you roll your mat (top outside once, then bottom outside next) or the end you start from (curled end once, flat end next time) and you'll find it straightening out more or less over time.
I recommend buying your own yoga mat even if your yoga studio or gym provides them for you. I've worked in many studios and gyms over the years. Sometimes management has mats cleaned often, sometimes not. If you bring your own mat you always know where it's been. :o) Plus, owning your own mat may encourage you to begin valuable practice at home.
For my students who have trouble with their knees in some of the poses requiring the body weight to rest on a knee, I recommend temporarily folding over one end of the mat to get double cushion under the knee while still leaving one layer under the rest of the body. This saves you having to haul more than one mat out each time you practice which can be discouraging especially to the beginner.』 『The EverythingYoga Deluxe Yoga Mat is thicker than most standard mats to perfectly cushion you in your practice. Measures 24" x 68" x 3/16". Silk mat bag not included. Available for only $2 more, please see our thicker, larger EverythingYoga Ultra Mat.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Durable and Versatile) 『I've owned my meditation cushion for about 7 years. The fabric cover is quite durable. It has a carrying handle, which I've used a great deal with no detrimental effects to the product. It is filled with buckwheat hulls, but not tightly. It resembles a "U" far more than a "V." I like to place it on the floor and lift up the ends of the "U" to slide the hulls toward the back. This gives me more height and support under my pelvis (helps maintain good posture) and less support under my knees. My knees don't need much support, but I like getting that pelvic tilt. I can sit up straight and BREATHE.
I find I use this for more than meditating though. I like to sit on the floor while working on certain tasks like peeling apples, wrapping gifts, mending clothes - working with my hands. I don't have to use this cushion, but it helps me keep comfortable for long periods, and I can tolerate staying on the floor longer without getting achey. At my age, that's a big plus!
I've also used this as a pillow and as a small bolster.
The only thing I don't like about this is it doesn't have an inner lining. If you want to wash it, you have to empty the buckwheat hulls into a separate container, then stuff them back in. So I'm dinging it one star.』
(great for meditation) 『This cushion is very comfortabe for sitting medititation. The support under the thighs is wonderful. I usually sit Burmese style and I can even sit on this without a cushion underneath. The travel handle makes it very convenient as well. I only wish it came in other colors besides plum although the plum is a nice deep purple, not too loud.』
(Hugger is outstanding!!!!!) 『My mom gave me one of these about a year ago and I use it to sleep. Best pillow I've ever owned. Great neck support. Bought one for my wife and she loves it.』
(Love it) 『I looked and looked for a meditation pillow. Trying to find one the right firmness and the right height and at a great price was proving to be a great challenge. I sit in the Burmese sitting position (legs not crossed) because I find this to be the most comfortable. For a long time I sat with just a pillow or with nothing supporting me and hard a hard time keeping a straight back. This pillow supports my thighs and lifts my butt, giving me the pelvic tilt I need to keep my back straight. It's made of quality material and I feel it will last quite a while.』
(V-shaped cushion) 『Arrived promptly. It's a little heavier than I would like. I bought it because I wanted something to sit on and support me when I go to yoga trainings and we spend time meditating or talking while sitting on the floor. It comes with a carrying handle so the extra weight shouldn't be a big deal. I ended up with this one because it was less expensive than the yogitoes cushion. I like both products for different reasons. The yogitoes one is lighter, but the hugger mugger is more supportive, either way, you can't go wrong.』
『Our yoga belts are useful for yogis of all levels. Belts provide length enabling you to grasp limbs that are otherwise too far away. Our yoga belts are 1.5" wide providing maximum comfort and preventing constricted circulation. Our 10' belt is ideal for taller practitioners and for binding limbs.
