I’ve been using this tatami yoga mat for a while now, and it’s been a great addition to my practice!!
The natural scent of the igusa rush grass really enhances the experience, especially during meditation—it’s subtle but very calming.
The grip works well, and I haven’t had any issues with slipping. The size is just right, offering enough space without being too bulky. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something unique and functional for yoga or meditation.
This tatami yoga mat has several appealing features. First, the distinct smell of the tatami material settles over time, making it more comfortable to use. The natural color of the mat blends seamlessly with any home decor, ensuring it fits well in any setting. Additionally, the mat allows me to connect with Japanese culture even when I'm in the US, adding a unique and meaningful element to my yoga practice.
I’ve always had an interest in Japanese culture, so I decided to try out this product. When I first used it, I immediately recognized the calming scent I remember from visiting a tea room in Japan years ago.
I originally purchased the mat for stretching, but I’ve found it to be so much more than that. Not only is it great for yoga, but its scent, texture, and the Japanese-inspired design have added a beautiful touch to my home. I’m also excited to see how the color changes over time, as I’ve heard it naturally evolves. It’s been a fantastic addition to my daily routine.
When I first opened the box, the natural scent of tatami was incredible—it instantly put me in a good mood. Even now, every time I bring my face close to the mat during yoga, the subtle fragrance makes me feel like I’m in a forest, enjoying a calming nature escape.
The grip was another pleasant surprise. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s more than enough to keep me steady, even in challenging poses. The mat is also lightweight, which makes it super easy to carry around when I need to move it. And on top of all that, it fits so well with my room’s decor. I don’t feel the need to hide it away—it actually adds a nice touch to the space.
I highly recommend this mat to anyone looking for something natural, functional, and beautiful. It’s worth every bit!
