 Alaternatives to PVC yoga mats September 11, 2007

I discovered after receiving this item that the sticky mat is made of 90% PVC (polyvinyl chloride) by contacting Valeo re the product. PVC is dangerous to our health and environment from start to finish - in the factory, at home, and in the trash - releasing poisonous chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects. (I should have checked this prior to purchasing it, that was my error.) My hope is to make other shoppers aware that there are numerous healthy and eco friendly alternatives out there. (Gaiam, Enviromat, Prana, & so many more.) If you are doing yoga for your health and well being than it only makes sense that you are doing it on a material that supports that goal (as well as honoring our planet - PVC is so incongruent with the practice of yoga). Perhaps Valeo will phase it out if enough consumers let them know why they didn't choose their product.
 Good not slippery mat, light weight and reasonably priced May 27, 2006

I was looking for a simple yoga mat which I could also use as an exercise mat - to do some abs.
Never had any intention to go for a 'yoga kit' - until I saw Valeo which was avaiable for $17 including a carry bag, strap and two blocks - which is the same as buying a mat alone in some brands. The product reached me on time (shipped by workoutsupplies) and I have used it a couple of times since them - both for simple yoga and also for abs.
Never had any problems with it, it is non slippery, light weight and easy to carry.
The yoga chart given with the kit is rudimentary. You might want to spend a few dollars and get a yoga video of your choice.
Overall, would I buy this product again ? Definitely Yes.
BTW, This product is listed in Amazon.com as another item 'Valeo Yoga Kit - 1 item' or something like that with a slightly different title - if you go to that item, it is the same product, but the price is about $5 less than what you find on this item :) And the seller is different - (workoutsupplies)
Decent kit for the money March 15, 2006

For just over 20 bucks you get everything you need for yoga. I was afraid this cheaper kit (compared to other brands) would arrive and be all, well, cheap and crappy, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this package. The mat is nice, sufficiently thick and sticky; the strap seems sturdy, and the blocks are nice and soft but firm. The material that the carrying bag is made out of does seem a bit thin, but still very useable, and hey all this for barely over 20 bucks, the bag is really just an extra in my eyes. If you are looking for an inexpensive but very functional kit to begin yoga, this kit is it.
UPDATE: Over a year later, this kit is still going strong, no problems whatsoever from anything. I use it regularly and it is holding up very well. Very pleased with this purchase.
 Good enough bang for buck May 23, 2006

Comfy mat and great weight/resistance bricks.
The mat is very durable. After a lot of roll-ups it's still looking as new, something many expensive counterparts fail to do.
Bag is a bit cheap, but serves its purpose well.
Wonderful for beginners October 21, 2005

I decided to start up yoga again, after many years. I was looking for a yoga kit that gave me all the essentials without breaking the bank. The Valeo Yoga Kit is great for beginners because of all it offers you. Plus, you get a handy carrying case with it.
