This is my first yoga mat and I thought having the blocks and the strap for this price should be a good purchase, and it was. I re-started yoga again, and I used a towel and a belt for the poses which did not help my back.
I read most of the other reviews and this is my take:
1. The product arrived a day early so that was a big yay!
2. The smell of the mat is not as bad as reported in other reviews. I didn't even have to air it before using it so I used it right away. Then again, I'm a vet and I'm used to REALLY STRONG smells and this did not bothered me at all. I guess this depends on the person.
3. The blocks are light and strong, and with the mat and the strap, all them fits inside the totem bag, plus other personal stuff like a small towel, wallet, etc.
4. I do not like purple, but it the color didn't annoy me. I guess that's good.
5. The mat does feels comfy under the fit, it does not "glues" to the floor but I did not slip once.
6. Maybe I need a thicker mat since my back problem, maybe the product needs be more clear in the thickness like how many cms, etc. Maybe if its thicker then It may not be that sticky.
I think that eventually I may get another but thicker mat in the future, but who knows, I may not need it as I advance in yoga if my body gets better, etc.
Oh and something else, the first time I used it, I was doing some floor pose, and my cat thought it was a nice "new" place to scratch her nails...grr lol
Customer Review: Good Value
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is a good value for the money overall, but I was disappointed when my kit arrived that the mat and blocks were a different color purple from each other. The yoga strap is natural in color as well, not white, as pictured. Also, the poster is pretty lame. I've had the kit for over a year now and it's holding up well to my almost daily use. The mat is showing lines where it will eventually split all the way through, though. I don't know how much longer I have until that happens, but that happens to the best of mats, I'm sure.
This is a good deal for the money. It would have been nice if the color was that as represented in the picture on the website. I did end up contacting amazon and Valeo about it. I would have had to take a $10 loss through shipping costs to get any refund, so it clearly wasn't worth it. In the end, this works just fine & looks aren't everything.
Customer Review: Of course it's not top quality, but it's a good bang for your buck.

I would totally recommend this to anyone just getting started with yoga. I'm sorry, but mats, blocks, straps, etc are pricey. And this is a really good deal, getting everything for such an inexpensive price.
If you find that yoga's for you, you would probably want to upgrade, especially as your usage increases, but I can't say enough what a good deal I think this is. The cheapest mat I found was $20, so I really think it's worth the extra $6 to get a bag, blocks, and strap too.
I noticed some of the comments said the bag is flimsy. Well, no it's not top strength nylon or anything, but how sturdy do you need a bag that's carrying 3 lbs to be?
I guess what I would take from all of this, is that if you're a yoga guru or someone who has money to blow-go get a nicer, pricier set. If not, this is the perfect set for you.
