Customer Reviews
I was having major issues with sliding in downward facing dog in my very warm yoga studio...I got this rug in hopes that it would help a little...turns out it helped A LOT. I no longer have to worry...the only draw back? lint. But its a small price to pay to get the most out of my practice. thank you!
This rug has really improved my ability to go through my practice. The ridges are really great for stopping slippage in downward dog and other poses. I have the rug paired with a cheaper mat and it really saves the day. I'm a relatively light sweater but haven't had any issues with slipping or really needing to wet it down. It also lays very flat right out of the box!
I have the Black Pro Mat and love it. The mat is comfortable, but I like color so I lay these rugs on top of my mat; I alternate between the rugs and my equa towels. As mentioned by another reviewer, the rug keeps you aligned and I really like that. These rugs are great, I have them in acai and moss; they are both beautiful colors and very comfortable . If you want to be well aligned or you simply need to add color to your practice, then you can't go wrong with these rugs. Practical and beautiful, I highly recommend them.
I could not practice with out this rug. I sweat so much that practice on just my mat was impossible before I got this rug. It makes it very easy to to stay straight and balanced thanks to the ridges, not to mention the extra grip they provide. It really helped me bring my practice to another level.
Could not practice without this rug!! I bought the Shama Yoga Rug back in July, when the weather was 100 degrees or more outside, and my yoga studio was being eco-friendly with the air conditioning! :) When its humid or hot, my hands and feet sweat buckets, and this rug is super absorbent. The raised ridges help keep your hands and feet in place also. I got the green rug, and it's a beautiful color. I have also machine washed and machine dried it numerous times, and its held up very well. The rug does still shed some fibers, but not enough to complain about. A great price, too, for a high-quality product such as this.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this rug. When I sweat, I sweat! And I've found that this rug is absolutely perfect to keep my hands from slipping in long Down Dogs!!!
I love this rug! Finally no slipping. Exciting for my hands and feet to touch!
As a "sweaty yogini" I have tried the gamut of yoga towels, rugs, etc and as such, I would consider myself something of a connoisseur on the subject. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this rug!
