This mat is visually appealing, has no odor, and is beautiful. It's thinner than I anticipated, but provides good support and is surprisingly warm and soft. It feels a bit warm, but it's manageable. It allows hands and feet to maintain Asana poses effectively. I recommend it. I previously purchased a mat in Moscow for 6000 (currency),which was also attractive, but it was so slippery that my hands and feet would slide, making poses like downward-facing dog impossible. This one works well.
