 Perfect for travel Feb 15, 2010
By L. Gardner
I bought this mat in hopes that it would inspire me to do yoga during business travel by protecting me from yukky hotel carpets. It worked! The mat is very thin, so don't expect cushion for your knees, but as most hotel rooms are carpeted, I don't feel that this is a problem. My biggest concern was whether it would fold up small enough to fit in my bag. I like to pack very light. It is perfect. It folds up to about the size and shape of a couple of t-shirts or a pair of jeans. It was so wonderful to stretch away the 10 hour flight when I finally got to my hotel. I was a little concerned about slipping on the soft towel-like surface, but my hands and feet stay put. I highly recommend this mat!

Better than a Yoga Towel Jan 26, 2010
By rose333
I have not used this mat as a travel mat but I have used it in place of a yoga towl over my regular mat. It is way better than other yoga towel brands which are much more expensive and don't have a lot of traction. There is high quality rubber on the back to prevent it from slipping and it is great for high intensity power classes. I highly recommend this over a yogitoes towel.

 Good travel mat Mar 05, 2010
By C. Olson
This mat is great for what it is advertised as - a convenient travel mat. The size it folds down to is amazingly easy to pack. However, it is quite thin and not substantial (padding not strength) so if you are used to a "normal" yoga mat - this is not the same. I would never use this mat at home as I prefer my regular yoga mat for that. However, bringing a rolled tube along for each business trip is not realistic for most people. Further, there is the knowledge that you are bringing your own mat from a sanitation perspective. The mat functions properly if your hotel room is carpeted. I also found it useful to place a couple of towels beneath it for added comfort. I would recommend this mat for travel if you want to continue with your yoga practice on the road. Hotel floors can be notoriously undercleaned (as in deep-cleaned), and this mat provides the ease of packing travelers need.

 It's not a mat, it's a towel Feb 05, 2011
By Richardb
I bought this mat to use when traveling. It is light and does pack well but it's basically just a microfiber towel with a rubber back. It doesn't provide enough tracktion to do a downdog. My hands and feet were slipping off the mat. I dampened the towel and it did have better tracktion but then I'm laying on a wet towel which isn't all that pleasant. If you have a sweaty ashatanga practice this might be a good option when traveling but other then that I don't recommend it.

love it Jun 26, 2010
By Dawn Gable
This travel mat does everything it says it will. It keeps you off hotel floors, packs small and light, doesn't slip, and makes a great cover for a "public" mat or carpet. I was skeptical when I bought it and I don't like Gaiam in general, but this travel mat is a must have for any yogi who travels at all or who engages in group practice.
