I bought this yoga mat because it was eco friendly. It has plenty of padding and is not slippery, but it's crumbling to bits. It leaves a orange crumbs all around my spot in yoga and pilates. Yuck. I've had this mat for a little while, but only recently started using it regularly and I am NOT impressed. It was $50 when I bought it so maybe that's why I'm irritated. Not a high quality item.
