I just copped a Scoria mat with the most beautiful design! It’s my first one. I feel so official now. Can’t wait till it arrives. Thanks for taking time out to make this review for us!

[@randymartin3856]

Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. kzbin.infoUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!

[@sofiamendoza4989]

I've been doing power yoga for a couple of moths now, and i was looking for a mat with a good grip and also one that was eco-friendly and omgg thanks to you i found the scoria cork mat and I'm in looove. Thank you so so much, this video was really good and made me found the perfect one for me 🥰🥰💞

I just bought a cork mat (Scoria World) with your discount code and an Alo mat. I already have a basic mat from Gaiam that I've had for a while but now that I'm doing more yoga, this video helped a lot to know which mat and what type I should get now. Thank you for this video!

[@cyntiad6721]

after i watch this video, i decided to purchase Alo Yoga Mat, i chose the tie die warrior mat. And i'm not regret it! The quality of the mat is sooooo good for yoga especially for ashtanga🔥

[@celestema2506]

That alo yoga mat is pretty! My concern is over time, the hands and feet placement will turn yellow/brown/grey. You know, like the white beddings.

[@tilafaye3200]

I purchased a mat from Scoria about a month ago because I wanted to try a cork mat and LOVE it!

[@ashleas.989]

Have you practiced with it yet? I’ve always liked the look of cork mats, but have heard very mixed reviews on their grippiness (if you’re not doing hot yoga or similar).

[@tilafaye3200]

@@ashleas.989 I practice with it daily. I don't do hot yoga and it has very good grip. IMO, getting a mat is very personal so it's a matter of trying different mats until you find what is best for you (Which is why many people end up owning many yoga mats over time). I currently own 5 mats and so far, my cork mat is my favorite.

[@voguekisses]

Thank you for this informative video! I’m torn between lululemon and alo. I want something that I can travel with and something very durable

[@kirstymartin4567]

Hi, thanks for your video. Would you say it’s better to go for a lighter or darker coloured mat? I’m thinking about sweat staining here x

[@Aldini3rd]

Great Video!!! Question ... My wife doesn't do yoga, however, she does aerobics with weights ... Due to Covid we are now at home ... Can these Yoga Mats be used on ****CARPET WHILE SHE'S AT HOME**** I was concerned about her slip-in and sliding all over the place!!!

[@newportninja245]

The sugarmats just went to $99 btw as of June at least, but thank you for your code, great vid!!

[@joshbarral2629]

Hello! What mat would you recommend for a guy like me that sweats a lot? I also want a mat that has a bit of cushion because in my current mat I always encounter bruises.

[@keniaalvarez5623]

I need a travel matt to use on hard floors, is the lululemon travel mat way too thin?? Recommend one please

[@mayumisone3158]

Hi Ariana, Thank you for great informations. I just wonder how do you wash your yogamat?? Could you make a video for that??

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Hi! you're welcome. I have a video on that! Right here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCcdp2Lds2Umrc

[@yoga-holistica5797]

great vid , thank for share

[@braininflightmode6432]

I sweat super fast and need a mat that really doesn’t make me slip (but is not sticky). I considered cork because many recommended it for the grip especially when moist but you are saying other mats are better than you cork mat in this point? I didn’t really get which one‘s the best for that. I only have a natural rubber travel mat that I’ve been using for years now every day at home it is awesome but it‘s quite thin and I want to change to a thicker mat for at home.

[@xudeyoga]

Thank you so much for this information 🦋

[@itsme_v142]

Which one is better lululemon or sugarmat ? I'm confused. Is it 3mm or 5mm recommended? Any advice.. Thanks

[@shannondent7052]

I’mma have to check out YOGALINE!

[@shannondent7052]

Daaaaang, YOGALINE is now closed 😩

[@ashleas.989]

Looking forward to your thoughts on the Yoga Line mat grippiness after a sweaty vinyasa flow. Also, do you feel that Lifeform mat is worth the price? Thank you!

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Personally I love the Liforme mat and it would be my most favorite, but I'm truly not sure why they list it at $140... if it hadn't been gifted to me I would have just stuck with my All mat or Lululemon.

[@EightyNinthZombie]

I'm here because I recently purchased a yoga mat that is not thick enough for my hard floors and I cannot even do my workouts because my bones are hurting so much from just sitting on the floor.

[@SomeoneVEVO]

thank you!

[@mollytje]

Thank you for your review! I’m really interested in the yogaline mat. What are you findings on it after usage? Grippiness, durability, quality, does it curl at the ends when rolled out, … Really interested in your opinion on it. Thanks!

[@TatyannaHubbard]

I’m looking for a new mat, would you recommend the alo vs lululemon? I’m torn between the two!

[@AriannaElizabeth]

ALO

[@teericag]

Did they discontinue the Alo mat? Yours look pretty wide. I also saw another KZbinr with one and hers was more wider. I have searched and can’t find it tho. 😩 the ones I have found are longer

[@don2672]

Tryna figure out if I should get the 4.5 or 6mm Scoria cuz I have bad knees and a bad back...BUT I want to be able to travel with the mat....Help! lol

[@lotusholistichealing]

Thank you Goddess! 💖💖💖

[@lotusholistichealing]

I'm in yoga teacher training now and upgrading to a quality mat, so my head has been spinning with options 😂

[@amandakazmark9107]

I do martial arts and I think I want a yoga mat. What is a good yoga mat for practicing balance. Obviously a yoga mat isn’t big enough for practicing forms, and a limited space. But if I was to start learning to do yoga poses to enhance my balance and control and to learn headstands on, what would be ideal? I’m going for my fourth degree belt next month and I need to work on my balance so my moves don’t look horrible. Thanks. PS, I never done yoga before.

[@AriannaElizabeth]

First of all, congratulations! That’s awesome. 👏🏽 For you I’d suggest a PU yoga mat with plenty of cushion. My PU mats are my go to when I want something grippy that will hold me in place and won’t have me slipping all over the place. Also lean towards something thicker... maybe 6mm or around that. My suggestions would be to check out Lululemon and Manduka mats! They have a lot of PU mats (polyurethane) in larger and/or longer sizes.

[@zsazsabartolome6489]

Any video on how to clean the back of Alo and Liforme yoga mat? Does someone experienced after a year of using Liforme Red dragon mat, my 🦶 and 🤚 is slippin 😥

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Really? I haven’t experienced that yet, but I just clean mine in the tub with warm water and mild laundry detergent

[@marycrask4335]

For someone who does hot yoga and Barre would recommend alo warrior mat or lululemon reversible 5 mm mat or a different one?

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Alo Warrior is great, but the thicker 5mm mat is SO nice on your joints! I actually have been using my Bala mat a LOT because it’s 8mm thick I think and omggg it’s AMAZING. Bedspread pretty lol. Here it is: shopbala.com I have a code too if you want a discount … it’s BRIGHTSALTEDYOGA10

[@ivonamarkovic4318]

Hello Darling 😊 I am new to yoga and pilates. I'm looking for a mat, do you think the liforme mat is good for both ?

[@babybunny1223]

Which one is your favorite and would recommend??

[@AriannaElizabeth]

My absolute favorite for my at home practice would be my Liforme mat :)

[@coco201092]

Thank you for this video! I’m excited to invest in a quality mat. Is there any particular material or brand you would recommend that’s soft enough for people with knee pain?

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Honestly, it best if you add a folded up blanket under your knees as no mat will truly be soft enough to cushion knee pain that much. Or you can also fold up your mat a bit so that there are more layers underneath you!

I'm late to this video but new to yoga...if you manage to see this, what are your thoughts on the Yoga Pieces mat? (Also, thank you for sharing your collection with us. Very helpful for a newbie like me!!)

[@AriannaElizabeth]

Hello!! No worries at all! So I’ll be honest since I posted this video, Yoga Peices for some reason wasn’t shipping mats to customers that had already paid. I’m not sure what ever happened ultimately since then, but that was the last I heard of them so I’d be careful with that. Shameless plug though: I actually have my own yoga mats that I now sell (well they sold out extremely fast but more are coming in stock soon) and they literally were a combination of ALL of my most favorite mats. Smooth, soft, PU material on one side and natural rubber on the other. You can check them out on my website! Www.AriannaElizabeth.com 🤍

[@rooty_tooty]

@@AriannaElizabeth Oh thank you! I actually ordered a Yoga Pieces back on Sunday night after watching this video. I did notice that I wasn't getting an update on it being shipped so I messaged them and they apologized for not communicating it and gave me a UPS tracking number. I'm still a little wary and that made me wonder the quality as a result. Since that one is being shipped overseas, I caved and bought a Manduka Prolite which I'm equally excited about. Also, thank you for the shameless plug!! Your mats are so pretty...!!! I love the colors and the unique shape. I will way a bit before getting another one likely unless if I really dislike both of my mats. However, I'm bookmarking this. Thank you for sharing!

Any yoga mats for tall women? I’m 6’2 and new to yoga but I heard that there are longer mats?

[@captainbugeyes8391]

Hey, I think my comment was deleted. I recommend the Yogaline or the Lifeorme yoga mat for you. They're wider and longer I'm 5'8/5'9 and I treated myself to the Yogaline mat because of it's tailored alignment system so that would be perfect for you height

[@captainbugeyes8391]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5OrpXh9mK56apo I posted the other links but they have been deleted, hope this helps!

[@seechangenyc280]

No Jade Harmony? Curious why it didn't make your list. If you tried it, do any other mats you mentioned compare when it comes to grip? I feel so safe on the JH. So far, nothing comes close. Grip is my #1 concern. The only negative: I wish it was easier to slide forward (I do vinyasa) but for feeling super solid, I'm willing to let that go.

[@ivys.9187]

I’ve used Jade Harmony and like it a lot too, though the mat had begun to wear and pill, and I found my hands sliding sometimes. Because I prefer grip as well, I decided to check out lululemon’s mat and the grippiness on the polyurethane side is second-to-none-no sliding whatsoever after planting my feet or hands down, even when sweating buckets (though this may leave some sweat stains that are difficult to remove 😓). Maybe a mat with a polyurethane surface would help with grip? I liked lululemon’s because it’s reversible, so I have the option to use the other side for gentler flows.

[@seechangenyc280]

@@ivys.9187 So nice of you to write and so glad you found the "one." I've only had a problem once with slipping on my Jade and they figured out why and gave me a recipe for the fix that worked like a charm (it was the soap I was using). Now I use three parts hot water to one part vinegar. Yes, I have scuff marks but I drag my feet so I blame me, not the mat. The mat never moves on my hardwood floor. No peeling (I have heard others face that issue). I always wanted to try B Mat and Lulu (of course, I've heard complaints about Lulu too. I've heard complaints about all of the mats!) but I am deeply attached to my Jade Harmony.
