prAna The Revolution Yoga Mat Overviews
Check it out, guys! This is a new yoga mat that's just been released by prAna. prAna designed this mat with the help of Anusara Yoga founder John Friend. They claim that this is the best yoga mat available on the market, and we agree that it's pretty darn cool. The thing that stands out most about this mat is that it's extremely roomy. Whereas the average yoga mat is 24"x68" in size, the new Revolution Yoga Mat is a whopping 30"x78" - wowza that's big! In addition to its extra-large size, the Revolution Mat is also very well-made. It's a rubber-based all-natural yoga mat which is made with no hazardous materials (i.e. no PVC), and it's completely biodegradable. This mat also has excellent anti-slip properties and superior cushioning. At 4mm thick, you won't experience any moving or bunching underfoot. The Revolution Yoga Mat is very dense (meaning that it's therefore incredibly durable), and because of that, it has a hefty weight of about 10 pounds. Available in grass and burnt orange. 30"x78"x4mm. For a slightly lighterweight version of this mat which is 26" wide instead of 30" wide, see the Neo Natural Yoga Mat by prAna. The only difference between the Neo Natural Mat and the Revolution Mat is that the Neo Natural Mat is 4" narrower.
prAna The Revolution Yoga Mat Specifications
Working in collaboration with John Friend--founder of Anusara Yoga--prAna created the Revolution natural sticky mat, an innovative step forward in the evolution of yoga mats. Offering a dual cotton scrim construction, the mat works to limit stretching in all three directions, creating a strong, stable practice surface that won't bunch underfoot. In addition, the 30-inch mat is significantly wider than standard mats, giving you more space to spread your hands and feet. Finally, the mat's three biodegradable rubber layers are heat laminated without glue, making it sturdy and eco-friendly. The Revolution--a great choice for yoga students looking for improved support and better alignment--measures 30 by 78 inches (W x L) and 4mm thick.

In 2009, the impact of the NPI program will prevent over 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the earth’s atmosphere. Simply by supporting renewable energy for prAna's headquarters, all of the company's employee’s homes, two prAna retail locations, and 250 of their U.S. retailers, the NPI program will create an environmental benefit equivalent to removing over 2,300 cars from the road annually.

Customer Review
As a yoga instructor, I spend a lot of time on my mat so it is important to me that I have the right one. Also, my hands get sweaty during my practice and I have problems with them slipping on most mats. So I have been on a quest for the perfect mat (for me) for about 2 years now and have accumulated quite the mat collection but I am happy to say that my quest is finally over! The Revolution is firm, dense, and even though there is not much texture, it is sticky and slip resistant. Yes, it is heavy (5 lbs.) and pricey but the weight doesn't bother me. I also really enjoy the size of it. It seems like I am practicing on acreage rather than a little strip of land. Why hasn't someone thought of this before? It seems so logical that our mats should be large enough that we don't do half of our practice off of them. I have recommended this mat to my students who are open to a larger investment in their yoga practice and have no regrets in my purchase of this mat!

This mat is fantastic if you don't get sweaty palms. When you lay/sit/stand on it you feel grounded and stable. It's thin and hard, but you're still comfortable. However I can't do my sun celebrations on it, as after 5 min I can't keep stable in the downward-facing dog, my feets and hands glides away from each other; no matter how I've been washing it, it dosen't help.
The mat is also very heavy as it's very dense, but this dosen't matter much to me, as I'm mainly using it at home.
Im sorry, but I have to resell this mat.
ouch - cch - idaho
