Gaiam Reversible Yoga Mat — 6mm Peaceful Waters Print, Non-Toxic Cushioned Grip 68" x 24"

Gaiam's Reversible Yoga Mat in the Peaceful Waters print is a 6mm-thick, non-toxic cushioned mat offering reversible traction and joint protection for home or studio practice.

The Peaceful Waters reversible mat combines a soft, grippy surface with extra cushioning to support alignment and comfort during standing sequences, floor work, and transitions. At 68" long by 24" wide and 6mm thick, it balances portability with enough padding to reduce pressure on knees and wrists while the textured surfaces help prevent slipping. Made without the top six harmful phthalates, this mat aims to be a safer option for both people and the environment.

How does this mat improve grip and stability during practice?

The mat features textured, sticky surfaces on both sides to provide reliable traction for hands and feet so you can hold poses confidently. The reversible design gives two grip options—choose the side that feels tackiest to match your practice style or mat-cleaning schedule.

• Textured non-slip surfaces on each side for consistent traction
• Sticky feel that helps maintain alignment in standing and balancing poses
• Reversible options let you switch surfaces if one side becomes damp or worn

Will the 6mm thickness protect my joints without being bulky?

Yes—the 6mm foam delivers noticeable cushioning that eases pressure on knees, hips, and wrists without adding excessive height that affects balance. It’s lightweight enough to carry yet substantial enough to reduce discomfort during seated and supine poses.

• 6mm cushioning reduces joint strain during floor work
• Maintains a stable base for standing postures and balance work
• Compact weight for easy transport to classes or travel

Is this mat safe and eco-friendlier than standard PVC mats?

The mat is manufactured free of the six most harmful phthalates, making it a healthier choice compared with many conventional PVC mats. While it still uses durable materials for performance, the reduced toxic chemical content is intended to lower exposure risks during regular use.

• Free of DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP and DNOP
• Durable PVC construction designed for long-term use and traction retention
• Recommendation: unroll and air out 48–72 hours to dissipate any harmless factory odor

What size and extras come with the mat?

The mat measures 68 inches long by 24 inches wide—suitable for most practitioners—and includes a downloadable bonus yoga workout to help you get started. Its reversible print offers two visual looks to match your mood or studio setup.

• Dimensions: 68" L x 24" W x 6mm thick
• Reversible Peaceful Waters print for two styling options
• Free downloadable yoga class included with purchase

Who is this for? The Gaiam Peaceful Waters reversible mat is ideal for beginners through intermediate practitioners who want more cushioning than a thin studio mat, but still need portability and reliable grip. It suits home practitioners, light gym users, and anyone seeking a non-toxic PVC option with two usable surfaces and a calming print. If you need maximum eco-certifications or an ultra-thin travel mat, consider alternate materials; if you want a balanced mix of cushioning, traction, and easy care, this mat fits well.
