Liforme White Magic Yoga Mat FULL Review, Unboxing, Sweat and Grip Test | NOT SPONSORED

Are you looking for the best yoga mat? A durable yoga mat that is also sustainable? A yoga mat that is non-slippery when you sweat?
I landed my decision on a Liform yoga mat. And today I am reviewing their White Magic yoga mat and give you an honest review.

28:05 Thoughts after practice
I don't think there is another company out there selling a mat with a similar price tag or a more beautiful design. My expectations are therefore high.
Before I was searching to buy a non-slippery yoga mat, I was looking at what my fellow yoga practitioners use. Liforme is one of the most mentioned companies out there, they promise their mat to be all sweat absorbing and holding the good grip all the way through the practice. For years. Many years. ✅
💵 Although I don't like to spend so much money on things, I have been practicing yoga for 6 years and aim to do so for the rest of my life. Cheap mats get annoying, they fall apart leaving rubber crumbs on the floor, they get slippery when I sweat 💦 (which in an ashtanga practice is unavoidable). The regular size for me is small for certain moves and altogether I realised I don't have the stability in my yoga practice that I wish for in order to take my practice deeper.
🤸🏻♀️ If you are an ashtanga practitioner, you know that a non-slippery yoga mat is a game changer and your 6 days a practice/week unfolds with very different results.
❗️ 1 regular mat that holds for about a year for me, already going on my nerves around 6 months because it is crumbling down, costs €22.50. That is an average mat price. When you are a beginner and practice 2 times a week and also you are doing a more gentle practice. That is ok.
I not only practice every day, I also teach and I also make yoga videos. I spend hours on my mat on a daily basis. It is like an office for a yoga teacher.
🗓 I see people using this mat for over a decade and although the company does NOT OFFER LIFETIME GUARANTEE, they promise the durability of the mat and the balance between eco-friendliness and quality.
As I said I am using my mat a ton, so I think if there is anyone out there testing the durability of this mat, it will be me. I also look after my things, because I understand that the longer something lasts because of good care, the less of an impact my existence has on the environment.
I am set up on this journey and I truly ant to give you the best review there is out there, so you can chose whether it is worth for you to pay €180 for a yoga mat or not. I expect at least 10 beautiful years out of this mat.
Yes, I have high expectations and a determined mindset.
IF it lasts that long, the €180 becomes €18/year, which is a good deal for a high quality mat and results in a cheaper price tag than a regular mat that does not serve my practice. So in my eyes that is a REALLY GOOD DEAL, not only for myself, but for the planet too.
I hope this review on a Liforme White Magic yoga mat brought you closer to deciding whether it is a mat that you want to invest in or give a shot to any other amazing companies out there. Some people do comparisons between the mats. I am not at that point in my life when I can afford 3-4 mats from the top competitors.
I chose this mat because my friends are using it and have got good opinion on it (specially the Liforme customer service). Since then I say Lululemon mats being mentioned with equally good grip and durability and HALF the price. Too late now, and due to lack of funds I can only invest in one mat. 🤷🏼♀️ But I am also not a collector. I am a minimalist. I need one mat and one mat only that meets my needs, I don't want to stack many mats in my house. I only want to get a new product, when the old one doesn't serve me anymore (aparigraha, one of the yama practices in ashtanga yoga, that means non-hoarding.)

Alex Amadasun you are welcome! Update is coming soon 🙌🏼
Super helpful. Very thorough! Genuine! I don’t think you would like my mat of choice: the Jade Harmony. It’s super grippy, the most grip I have found of any mat. But that’s my priority - stability and safety. Yup, because of grip, poses that require slip, are more challenging (fish pose, you’ll lose hair, but I do what you suggested, I use a blanket under my head). Because it’s open cell, it does break down a bit faster (cleaning is easy - three parts water to one part vinegar). Narrower than Lifeforme. Shorter (68 inches in my colors of choice - black or navy but they offer many colors that are longer). A tad thinner/narrower than I would like. But it calls me off my couch and I need that (NOTE: I practice twice a day - Hatha/Vinyasa on wood floor at home for now). Yes, would be interested to hear your review after you use the mat for a bit. Have you tried B Mat? Very curious about that one.

Great, thank you so much for sharing this. I think it is a very useful information so if someone is deciding they can have a little comparison. Unfortunately I don't have any other experiences with high quality mats apart from Liforme so of course my review is very one pointed. I am uploading now my second review on it, well on them actually because I did have to get it exchanged unfortunately. I explain everything in that one, but I am still happy with the company. Thanks once again for your detailed comment! PS: I am tall and I need the space, so I love how wide it is :)
Wow I’m impressed by your in-depth review of this mat. Excellent! Look forward to seeing how it wares over time & if it needs cleaning a lot to retain the colour. Great practice, excellent.

Thank you kindly! I have an update video on the mat, check that. I didn't have a problem with discolorization of the white but I also didn't have it long enough to experience that

@@karunayogahu The real test for grip is a sweaty practice like Ashtanga, so well done for actually showing it in fast forward. How come you didn’t keep it for long?

@@jojoellejay1724 Yep, and it was summer time too, best time to test. I had to send it back because the golden colour started to fade into an odd greenish one. They said probably it's faulty and although I loved that mat and how gorgeous it was, I didn't dare to order the same kind. Now I have the happiness mat, the orange one, but I really miss the white colour to be honest :) Do you use the same brand? How does it hold up? How many practices a week do you do?

@@karunayogahu I practice 5 x weekly but that’s just hot yoga (not Bikram). Still have yet to find a good mat that stands up to my sweat. I’ve been practicing hot yoga for 18 years with consistent 5 x weekly practice. So as you know the more you practice in a hot room the more you sweat. My mats are a laughing joke! Can’t afford expensive mats.

Amazing video. It answered almost all questions I want to ask. I want to get a white mat as well but is it easy to keep it clean? Did you leave any mark on it?

Hello, I have another video on the channel about the updates of the product. :) I hope it helps
Did the color ever wear out? Or does it get dirty faster than the other mats (because of its white color). I love the review! Thank you so much.

EL Est I will do an update, but yes, unfortunately the color did fade. Not only the white got messy - which was expected and I don’t mind - but the golden part faded into greenish at some places. Maybe the amount of sweat I put on it every day? Still if you do ashtanga and live in a warm place, which means you sweat a serious amount, this mat may not be your first choice.

Karuna Yoga Thank you so much for your quick response! I was worried the mat color might fade or get dirty quick. Maybe I have to get a dark color. Thank you again! I’m looking forward to your new videos! 💕

EL Est you are welcome 😊 with the dirt, I do was hands and feet before practice (traditionally done as well I believe). And as long as you do that and then wipe and let it dry, I think it will stay relatively white. But I also live in the city, so the air itsef is a bit dusty. Maybe get a darker colour if you don’t want it to look so dirty. I just like bright because colors do effect my mood.
I ordered this mat (white) and used it for the first time today at core power. Unfortunately, after the first use, there are already smudges on the mat! And they won’t come off with the mat cleaning wipes. Even when I scrub hard. So take a caution. There is no way for me to leave a review on their website, so I’m leaving it here.❤
