LiformeOriginal Yoga Mat – Free Yoga Bag Included - Patented Alignment System, Warrior-like Grip, Non-slip, Eco-friendly and Biodegradable, sweat-resistant, long, wide, 4.2mm thick mat for comfort

As a 27 year old man I was always dismissive of yoga, viewing it as an excuse for women to wear activewear in any and all everyday scenarios without the need to change.This all changed after injuries forced me to access my body which led me to conclude I had the flexibility of a half-jointed scarecrow and was advised to give yoga a crack. Luckily I was eased into my first session through a lunch time class my work holds on a Thursday where the skill range wasn't that high so they were patient in fixing any issues in form and I bloody loved it.It both challenged and relaxed me in a variety of ways and I discovered my stereotypical masculine view of 'strength' was no good here rendering me as helpless as a new born giraffe trying to find its feet for the first time. As the days passed and collected more classes under my belt my flexibility has improved, strength increased, and ability to do poses that I initially wouldn't have wished on my worst enemy are finally within my grasp... but...In mildly warm rooms or a moderately fast flow class I release enough sweat to become a human humidifier. I'm talking gallons of the stuff, from fingertip to tip toe, blinding me, dripping from my nose, painting a mural of myself on the mat so future generations will know I was there - a modern day monument for all my sins and stretch sinews.Now, having decided to invest in my first yoga mat so I could practice at home in my spare time, and having experienced many a time my hands slide forward at the pace of a tectonic plate during downward dog, I knew I had to invest in a mat that would limit this or risk an inevitable face-to-floor collision. Ladies and Gentlemen - let me introduce you to the mat my girlfriend introduced me to that I'm now taking to credit for:Liforme.It's been excellent so far - nice design, good grip, reasonably padded etc. The fact it comes with a bag is undeniably helpful because it is (surprisingly) heavy. I'm a stickler for detail and getting my alignment juuuuust right so having the markings really help save me time when my anal tendencies do take over.Chuck into the mix that it's eco friendly and I basically threw my money at them.I know it is expensive but I'm an all or nothing kinda guy and understand the value of buying something that'll last both in terms of it's performance and keeping it's 'colour' after drying out. Plus having used a foam type mat at work for a year I can see how quickly the grip has warn AND padding has diminished after just one use a week to an extend that when on my knees I feel like I'm back in primary school praying to the lord Jesus Chris on the wooden bench begging him to tell the priest to finish so I can make sure my knee caps haven't fallen off (and so I could blast out a rendition of shine Jesus shine sharpish!).Over all a perfect product. Nice one Liforme.P.S. You will need a yoga mat towel for Hot Yoga to avoid slipping, no man made yoga mat alone could save you in a Hot Yoga classP.S.S. If I did have a complaint it is that it is TOO grippy and it picks up dirt from my laminated floor that I hovered and mopped two hours before reminding me of my failures as a domestic goddess.I hope this helps :)

I decided after going through and putting up with several mats over the years to splash out and treat myself to, what I thought at the time, was an overpriced thing. £90 ouch. However it was worth it. There is literally nothing wrong with product. Super grippy, I tested it doing some flows in socks, and it gripped. Even after getting super sweaty the grip was perfect. No more worries about pulling a hip flexer or hamstring during a challenging pose. I was also a little concerned over it having that rubber smell but nope nothing! Being quite tall about 190cm I have always had trouble with mat length but this mat is fine on edge but fine. Finally the markings really do help as they alow you to reset after a flow quickly and confidently. To conclude I strongly recommend this to all yoga practitioners, new and experienced it's simply to the best and you can forget all the rest😉

This is a great mat. As a daily practictioner of yoga, a good mat is important. I feel more grounded in my postures and there is no slip or slide. I’m delighted with it.

Just got back into yoga after quite some time off, so going back to basics and decided to invest in a decent yoga mat, to get me going. The Liforme mat was recommended by a good friend, who is also a yoga teacher.I absolutely love it, it is heavier than I thought, but thats no issue, actually it helps as it doesn't move.. Its a great thickness, not too thick so its spongy, just protective and comfy on the knees and wrists.The alignment aids have been a god send, especially as I do not have use of a mirror, so its great to be able to look down and ensure i am in the correct position, and giving me confidence in the direction of my feet.It has really truely helped me get back into yoga, especially now its lockdown, keep looking forward to my next (Ekhart) yoga video. Maybe I am just trying to get value out of my new mat, but I don't think so. I got the grey one, which I am so happy about as my dogs keep trying to plonk them selves on it too.It is a fair bit of money, but I think its worth it... I have had it about two weeks, have used it more than once a day most days already and just starting to feel fab, looking forward to more strength and flexibility... using my wonderful mat. Definitely recommend it.

No complaints on the grip of the mat, especially when practicing ashtanga. That's the main reason that I purchased this expensive product.It's quite heavy to roll up and down, which I wasn't expecting. Overall I think it's a quality product and worth the money. I'm looking forward to taking my yoga practice to the next level with this mat.There is a slight smell to it at the moment. Hopefully that will wear off in time. The colour is beautiful ❤️

Been 2 years using a 30 quid cork mat, which was very slippery (had to use gloves and socks but that made it pretty uncomfy) so decided to invest and really happy, now my practice is completely different, really grippy and gorgeous mat, definitely worth it
