Yoga mat Gaiam Intense Sundial Layers 5 mm – non-slip exercise mat

The Gaiam Intense Sundial Layers 5 mm is a non-slip exercise mat designed for yoga, pilates and general floor workouts. With a layered surface construction and moderate 5 mm thickness, the mat balances cushioning and stability to support standing poses, seated stretches and transitions. Its textured top improves grip and wear resistance while the low-profile design keeps the mat lightweight and easy to roll for storage and transport.

Advantages

The layered surface combines traction and durability to reduce slipping during poses and movements. A 5 mm foam core provides impact absorption for knees and joints without sacrificing ground connection for balance. The mat is lightweight and rolls compactly for convenient carrying between home, studio and gym. The materials are chosen to resist surface wear while maintaining tactile grip throughout regular use.

Suitable for

• Yoga practices including vinyasa, hatha and restorative sessions
• Pilates and mat-based core workouts
• Floor stretching, mobility and bodyweight exercises
• Studio classes, gym sessions and at-home practice

Key specifications

• Thickness: 5 mm for combined cushioning and stability
• Surface: layered textured top for improved grip and abrasion resistance
• Weight: lightweight and easy to roll for portability
• Use: suitable for indoor use on flat surfaces
• Maintenance: wipe-clean surface for simple care

How to use

Unroll the mat on a clean, flat surface with the textured side facing up. For best stability, allow the mat to settle flat before beginning your practice; if the mat retains a curl, reverse-roll for a few hours or place weights along the edges until flat. Position the mat to give enough room for movement and transitions, and use consistent foot and hand placement to take advantage of the traction provided by the layered surface.

Usage recommendations

Clean the mat regularly with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water to preserve grip and materials. Store rolled with the textured side outward or flat to minimize curling, and keep away from direct heat or prolonged sunlight to reduce material degradation.
