Went to Woolworths to grab some lunch and found this Yoga Kit for $12, there were around 15 left when I grabbed one, from pink - purple - blue..
bought one for the misses it includes
Yoga Mat,
Strap
Water bottle
Yoga blocks
And 7 day anytime fitness pass
There were many other items in store discounted to half price such as Christmas plastic bowls set of 4 for $1.50, Electronic toothbrushes were down from $20 to $10.99.. etc.
This was in my local woolworths store in Springvale.
I agree.
The cheap bumpy foam ones fall apart quickly & are too slippery.
Thank you. Which mat from there?
The cheapest seems to be -The Pure Mat 3mm at $39. Is that a good one?

This looks ok- but the reviews seem iffy. You could always buy and then if you don't like it return it. It does appear to be the thinnest mat. My suggestion would be to buy the mid range mat which is 5mm and costs $59. I personally own 'The Mat' which is $69 (also 5mm)(and also bought the $19 strap to allow for easy travel and storage). This really supports my bad knees.
Also, be aware that the mats smell a bit when you first get them, but this fades over time.
Thank you so much. My friend has given me her 5mm $40 Rebel Sport one to start with before I progress.
My Wife and I both love our Manduka mats.
The difference between these and cheap mats is enormous.
Well worth the investment if you love your yoga!
Namaste
The Kmart one is too small
This one looks like the Rebel one, I have it, good quality, but quite thick at 6mm compared to some expensive ones.

Woolworths Warragul has these kits at $30 :-/
