So I finally got me a Yoga mat at whole foods today and I am very disapointed. It says non slip but my hands and feet where sliding bad! I did better just on my carpet. Am I doing something wrong or do others have this problem with their mats? It is a Gaiam brand, one of the thin ones....I see where lot of people like that brand...so I am kinda bummed that maybe that is just how it is...

    Try washing it first. Use a very mild soap then dry it off. When we do that at the gym, the mats get "sticky" again.
