Do you use this for Yoga class?

It's not a yoga mat and would slip on the floor. You could use it in place of the blanket or towel you take to yoga.

It might shift too much during yoga. Maybe for outdoor yoga? It's best for a pool/beach towel

No, my daughter uses it to dry her long, thick hair better than with a traditional bath towel

Yes, I use this for my hot yoga classes and it works wonderfully. I can't stand the feeling of microfiber so this alternate is ideal.

No I took on vacation on the cruise to use on the beach and it was great !!! I love this towel !! I'm sure it would work for yoga but it's long .

I this is more like a large shawl or a nice body wrap for when you come out of the pool.

I have not- I bought it to use as a beach towel. It is great for that but sorry I can't answer for other uses.

It's not a yoga towel. You could use it as a regular towel though. I would bring the hand towel to yoga just for sweat.

Hi JBG - we do use breath. It's actually an important part of Lastics, but we do not use it the way you would in a yoga practice. Primarily, we rely on it as a release, or to actually use the air to move your body into a stretch:)

It's pretty thick, and it certainly does have some give to it as it's thick foam. But it's firm enough for my needs; I find it perfect for alot of the exercises I do on the floor. It's not really built though for doing standing Yoga poses for example. Better to get a thin yoga mat for that purpose.

I have never used a foam roller for yoga, but I suppose it could be possible. I've just used a foam roller in Pilates or for just massaging a tight area.

I LOVE my Yoga. I don't know why everyone hates on windows 8 either. I have enjoyed every part of my Yoga.

Depends on your flexibility, in yoga everyone is different. I used one fairly comfortably, but two would have been perfect, it will allow you to do yoga now. You will become more flexible and won't need the blocks.

I'd invest in a towel mat to lay on top of your mat. Manduka is great, but I slip during class - I get very sweaty - and if I've forgotten my towel, it's not a fun experience.

Absolutely! I have read reviews of aerobics and fitness teachers who use this and are very happy with the way it helps them be heard.

It sounds like your wife has an extra long mat, which shouldn't be an issue. I roll my mat sized towel with my mat and fit it into the bag, no problem. I will say that you have to roll it pretty well for it to fit seamlessly into the yoga bag. If this sounds like too much of a hassle to do after class, you might consider getting her a garment yoga bag.

yes! I bought mine for exercises. i do a sitting exercise that uses my arms for movement, but you could do what you describe as well.

I'd say standard weight works alright with the faster pace vinyasas. Some students are happy with a standard beach towel, but I find myself with six yoga towels now. The latest ones I got are Plush and the Extra Long (XL) Yoga Rat ones. I fold the ends under the rubber mat and find it my best solution yet. Having a towel meander or bunch up doesn't ruin my day, but I sure do enjoy having nice towels.

Yes, you would still need a yoga mat underneath the the YogaRat towel as it does not have nubs/grips underneath; there are yoga towels that double up as yoga mats on the market currently but tend to be pricier.

Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay. I have several herniated disc in my back and the small motions that you have to hold really aggravated my back and neck. I also hated that a majority of the work out DVD was done on the matt and basically a modified sit up and nothing to do with the barre. If you think you would use this to stretch or are creative enough to learn your own workout routines it might be worth the investment. As a side note. I ride a pedal bike and I am a dog walker but this work out I found to be just not for me and painful Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay.

I don't know about the Synergy mat/towel. However it might not work well for you since it absorbs the excess sweat from vinyasa yoga so you don't slip. If you have less sweat, then it may not be a go for you. Just my thoughts....

Not alot. I do this in my family room. You just need a chair or the back of the couch to hold on to like a ballet bar. So really enough room where you can lift you legs front,side and behind you without hitting anything and on the floor, the size of a yoga mat that again you can have your legs open to the side without hitting anything. Enjoy it doesn't look like you're doing much but once you get started you'll feel it in all the right places.

I used it twice in yoga classes and found it hard to maintain certain poses. In "downward facing dog", my hands were sliding toward the front of the mat. It left me feeling frustrated during the session, which is sort of the opposite of why I go. For push-ups, it might be OK because the pressure is more centered over your hands.

Yes, I think it would be too small for an entire class (of 15 or 20 students) to use. I think it is more for home school or for a kid's room. I like using it with my kids, but even with three or four of us standing around it, it gets a little crowded.
