They bought a big roll, cut it, and sold it to us students. Good quality. I still have that now-worn mat, washed countless times and still part of my rotation. (See my initiatory blog post for more on my fave mat brand: http://yogaspy.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/best-sticky-mat/.) So, I'm fine with random sellers of mats. BUT I would hate to see lots of people buying mats (because they're cheap) that they never use. It's bad enough that committed yogis are using unbiodegradable mats, but if kept for over a decade and frequently used, at least they had longevity and purpose. If not...

So, if Best Buy's selling them now, that's cool with me (and I can only hope that, unlike most yoga studios, they carry mats that are longer than 68 inches...).
