It looks very manly and

"It looks very manly and I want to return but have received no response."

Deborah B. (5/5)

BEST YOGA MAT HANDS DOWN

"The sweat literally just disappears the moment it hits the mat. I have several other yoga mats and this is by far the best quality. The thickness is absolutely perfect and the suede material gives plenty of grip whether dry or wet. I spent over 6 hours on it the first day I got it and there is nothing that will come close to the experience this mat provides during practice."

Sean V. (5/5)

THE ULTIMATE HOT YOGA COMPANION

"The TulaBala athletic sueda yoga mat has truly elevated my practice. Its superior grip and cushioning make it beyond ideal for hot yoga, fully replacing the need for a separate yoga traction towel. The mat’s generous, luxurious size gives plenty of space for movement, while the thoughtful design—including a durable, high-quality surface and smoothly rounded edges—feels both professional and carefully crafted. Every detail, from the texture to the stability, shows the care put into its design, making it a mat I rely on for comfort, confidence, and performance in every session."

FABULOUS large mat

"I’m a Tula bala believer after trying this mat!!! For seasoned hot yogis, there is no mat I recommend more. No more bunched up mat towels or slipping. So roomy!"

Becky (5/5)

Truly special

"I've been teaching for over a decade and have experienced the good and the bad of the yoga product world. This is not only the most comfortable and steady mat I've ever used but it is also by far the most visually breathtaking. 11/10."

Domenic (5/5)

Great Yoga mat

"Being new to yoga and looking for a new mat it was suggested to me to try the Athlete suede mat from Tulabala. The mat is great. No matter how much I sweat in the hot yoga class I don’t slip at all and don’t need a towel. The oversized mat is so nice and gives a slightly larger perimeter for my practice. It looks and feels great and I am always being asked about it. Thanks, I hope to enjoy it for a long time."

Brian (5/5)

The best mat

"Best mat I have owned! My wife and I both have mats and do our workouts in the garage during the Florida summers. With this TulaBala Mat it’s soft and the more you sweat the better the grip gets. You don’t slip off. Great product"

I finally a mat that’s big enough!

"I’m a tall yogi. And it’s hard to find a mat that provides enough space for my practice. The athlete mat is perfect. The suede material is awesome too. I don’t need a towel in heated classes."
