I have used this mat 3-4 times now and I honestly love this mat

I injured my knee the first time I used it.

and I almost fell way too many times during the class I brought it to.

however I do have a difficult time balancing because of how thick it

Ripped the very first time I used it.

It is so cushy that I had a hard time balancing on one leg!

I've never owned one of these before but had a hard time choosing considering all the review for many of these products

My only issue is that I have a hard time gripping with my feet on the mat

I have almost fallen so many times because it slides around as you move

The mat had funny smell the first time I used it, but it went away
