Has anyone used this as a yoga blanket? I'm looking something to help support me during meditation and hatha yoga.

Yoga is the only thing I haven't used this towel for.... yet... but I would, and know that the comfort and versatility of it will be useful to you. This towel has replaced many things for me; I can use it for just about anything. Good luck to you!

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this

I use it for soccer so I'd imagine it would be just fine for yoga in terms of support.

Hi, I have not used the lavender one before, just the past tense. But, I do use a different lavender product to help me have a deep restful sleep. And it works wonders. I'd give this a go for that reason alone.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

I have wondered that as well. I guess if you sleep with your feet above the covers it's possible. The yoga toes are silicone and will stick to the covers if you roll over. That would not be very comfortable for your feet if they snagged and pulled a toe out of alignment. BUT definitely you could fall asleep wearing them once your feet get used to them!I hope this answers your question!

I think they would be too thick/bulky for yoga. It would work to protect your knees but I don't think it would be good while doing the other postures unless you are taking them off and putting back on.

Personally, I think it would be a bit too light for use as a travel blanket, but that's just me. It might be just the right amount of warmth for you. I think it's a great idea and would take up so little room!! Give it a shot and share your experience with the rest of us as to whether you think it works in that capacity or not. I definately think it would be better than nothing. ~ jade ~

Yes we recommend bringing a towel in addition to this mat for hot yoga. Please give the mat a few uses to break it in and loosen the jute fibers to provide maximum traction. Thanks for your interest in our Barracuda Yoga mat! Tasha

Much thicker and softer. Also not as long as most yoga mats. I would not use this for yoga.

I am using it as a mattress cover. Not thick enough to be used as a mattress pad. I am very pleased with my purchase :-)

I have not used it for that, however it is very thick and substantial unlike a lot of blankets at that price point. I think if you keep it fairly clean it should hold up well. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.

It's pretty thick, and it certainly does have some give to it as it's thick foam. But it's firm enough for my needs; I find it perfect for alot of the exercises I do on the floor. It's not really built though for doing standing Yoga poses for example. Better to get a thin yoga mat for that purpose.
