Gaiam Banyan & Bo yoga mat review

I tried to review this mat on the site for the store where I bought the mat ... but it was a negative review so it won't post. I smell conspiracy.

I bought the Gaiam Banyan & Bo yoga mat 3 or 4 months ago and have been using it 3-5 times a week. I sweat and I slip.

I tried this mat with out washing it. I perspired and I slipped.
I washed it with just water. I perspired and I slipped.
I washed it with the special washing solution from the store I bought it from. I sweat and I slip.

My yoga instructor agreed that it was too slippery to be useful for yoga.

This was my first yoga mat. In the store it seemed not too slippery, but my hands were dry. And I loved how it looked. I guess I can add it to my heap of bad purchases.

I am in the market for a new mat. And I need a Purse. Time to go spend more money.
