Who knew you could get a travel yoga mat for just $21 at Amazon?

If you’re among the many people whose New Year’s resolutions involve exercise, you don’t necessarily have to go hard at the gym. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, lower-impact exercises like yoga have a slew of physical and mental benefits, from helping with back pain and arthritis to improving energy and stress levels (not to mention increased flexibility!). That said, schlepping around a bulky, rolled-up yoga mat isn’t always convenient, which is why it’s no wonder that a travel yoga mat — namely, the Gaiam Folding Yoga Mat — has racked up thousands of perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers.

Weighing just 2 pounds, the Gaiam Folding Yoga Mat is lightweight enough to bring on the go, whether you’re headed to a yoga studio or traveling and want to get some moving and stretching in during your trip. But, true to its name, the most impressive feature is how compactly it folds up. The 2 mm–thick material is thin enough to really pack down, and you’ll always get a neatly folded 10-inch by 12-inch rectangle since the creases are already there for you to follow. You can easily stick it in your bag or suitcase (not true with most rolled versions).

Since it is thinner than many yoga mats, you might find yourself needing some extra cushioning. Reviewers say layering it with a towel will do the trick. That said, it does have a somewhat sticky texture to help with grip and stability. One note from the brand: Too much sun exposure can fade the mat and result in a brittle texture, so you’ll want to keep the mat stored away from sunlight.

More than 3,200 Amazon customers absolutely love their Gaiam yoga mats. “This mat is amazing,” raved one satisfied shopper. “Whoever invented this foldable design is a genius! I went on a yoga retreat and it went in my luggage. I actually forgot it was in there until I unpacked. It grips well, lays flat and is lightweight and uncomplicated. I love this mat for travel!”

“This mat folds like a charm and fits nicely into the exterior pocket of my carry-on suitcase,” gushed another happy yogi. “I was concerned about size, but it is the same length as my studio mat and nearly as wide. It’s thin but durable. I used it over a bath towel for extra cushion [and] it didn’t slip.”

“Get you one of these,” ordered a final fan. “I haven’t traveled a single time without this mat since I bought it. It is so convenient to be able to pull out my own mat [in] studios when I’m on the road, and to be able to practice in hotel rooms or at friends’ homes on overnight stays. The mat isn’t sticky to the level of some of the specialty mats you’ll see out there (like the Gaiam roll-up models), but it’s definitely a good grip. I’ve used it on hardwood floors, carpet and on the deck of a ship — it’s great. The only trouble I’ve ever had is that the mat is quite light (one of the things that makes it great for travel), so wind will lift it up pretty easily.”

And don’t forget about yoga mat maintenance. This Asutra cleaning spray is a popular pick:
