Yoga Mat Review

You can easily expect to pay the same price for just a mat, and you won’t get this DVD for free. This is a set of professional grade yoga accessories by a very reputable company. These products were designed to be highly accessible to get yoga beginners and those on a budget, yet high quality and attractive. One of our favorite beginner kits.

This Living Arts Yoga Kit is great! You get everything you need to get started at a great price! If you bought all of the pieces seperately it would cost much more. The mat is very high quality, as are the yoga strap and blocks. You will get years of use from this set. The video will go through the use of props with you and help you understand their uses better. We reccomend this to everyone!

Everything a beginner needs to get started! Perfect!

This is a good introductory kit. The video shows proper use of the props. The video is not intended as a workout. You’ll need a beginner’s tape. I would like the kit better if it had a bag to hold everything.

The instructor is obviously an experienced yogi, i.e. someone who has studied and taught yoga for a long time. I find this generally preferable to an aerobics instructor who has recently jumped onto the yoga bandwagon. This tape is great for the novice, and a wonderful intro to yoga.

This is a great deal because you can pay this same price for just a mat. This comes with the mat, a brick, a strap, and a DVD.

I personally love the DVD because I’ve done Yoga before and know the names of the moves, but I can see where beginners would have a hard time with the daily routine. If you don’t know the moves you may have to watch the DVD without following along for a time or two, because he goes faster than those on my other DVD’s and you may get lost. Once you get the hang of the moves, this is a GREAT DVD to do Yoga with. I like that he does it faster because it feels like more of a workout than a relaxation thing (though it does come with a meditation section and the morning routine is easier and slower than the daily routine so you have several options to choose from).

I was impressed with the quality of the items because to tell you the truth, i was nervous it was going to be cheap for the price. The dvd that comes with the items was very helpful. I am not new to yoga, but I am new to yoga at home and I have found the days I use Yiam’s daily routine, i feel better throughout the day.

I am new to yoga and needed an all inclusive kit to get started. This fit the bill perfectly and at a great price!!

this is a great value–it’s awesome to be able to jump into yoga and really be able to work on a poses properly (with the block and strap).

the mat doesn’t have a pretty design like other gaiam mats do, but for the price, i’m not going to worry about it! i compared thickness of this mat with the others that you can buy separately, and it was the same as the one i wanted at target…but for a few more dollars, i get at least $17 worth of additional stuff (block, strap, dvd). i’m very pleased.

if you’re dissatisfied with the included dvd, do what i do: i check yoga dvds out from the library (i started with yoga for dummies to get some good instruction) to give it a try and enjoyed it enough that i decided to take a “real” class. this is the equipment i take along!

I haven’t watched the DVD, but the block/mat are good quality, although this is an extra mat for me and a bit thinner than my other one. Works well on carpets but I am afraid to try it on a wood floor.

I received the product fast and it is a great beginner set. There is an AM wake up session, an 8 minute video to describe how to use the props correctly, and a daily 20 minute session. I was very pleased overall.
