Not for the advanced practitioner.
Unfortunately this mat is really impractical for yoga. While I thought it was great at first, the more I used it the more trouble I had with sinking into the mat while am trying to hold long and challenging poses. If you're doing sit ups, it's probably great as it's very very cushiony and feels great. Unfortunately, if you're doing advanced yoga postures that involve concentrated holds and balance, you start to sink into the foam, which can throw you off balance and in my case led to pain in my wrists. It's a shame as I was really excited about how comfortable it was at first, but now find that I just can't balance properly in the most challenging postures.
