I'm a power yoga instructor/practitioner. My REECH mat is the best tool for a safe, grippy practice. Most yogis in my class have also converted to REECH, each commenting just how it's helped deepen and elevate their practice. I always tell them, "If you can trust your tools, you can trust your body." This mat gets even grippier with a sweaty practice. The mats biodegrade with time so the surface can become less grippy. A light spritz of water, or an extra sweaty flow, recharges its amazing grip instantly. GRIPPY hand balances and inversions: my yogi partner and I invent all kinds of crazy transitions. REECH keeps us steady and safe. And our pups love them too.
