I think you will be fine although I noticed my feet slipping a bit I don't now if it was just me not the mat. I haven't done much Yoga since this is the reason why I purchased it. I used it for about 40 minutes I was fine after adjusting myself I think because I am tall (5'11) and positioning myself accurately for each pose can be a factor on slippage.

I've only used it on a rug in class. Would you like me to check it? I just have to pull it out of my trunk

I used it twice in yoga classes and found it hard to maintain certain poses. In "downward facing dog", my hands were sliding toward the front of the mat. It left me feeling frustrated during the session, which is sort of the opposite of why I go. For push-ups, it might be OK because the pressure is more centered over your hands.

This mat does not technically have any sort of coating that I would consider "non-stick"; with that being said, I use it three times a week for yoga and I have never had any problems with it sliding around or moving while I am trying to use it. I don't see why you would have any problems using it for push ups.

It doesn't slide on hardwood floor, but if you get really sweaty during a workout, your hands and feet will slide slightly on the mat. I take hot yoga classes, and even though I sometimes feel a little slip here and there, I have never actually had a problem. I think this mat would be absolutely fine for push ups. The mat is nice and thick, so it's a bit of a cushion on your hands. Also, if you're really worried about slipping, you can always lay a towel across the mat to soak up sweat and reduce sliding.

Oh yeah it should be fine for just pushups ^ . It didn't move on the floor at all for me, on carpet and wood.

It is a very thick mat, it should protect the tile with no problem. I don't think it would slip. If for some reason it did, simply purchase anti-skid floor rug pad.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

It does not have anti slip on the bottom of the matt. I will say that we have hardwood floors on our first floor and my daughter hasn't had any problems with it slipping.

It's not smooth that is would slip but not sure I would say non-slip grip material.

It is non-slip. I got it for my wife and she has been very happy with this product.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

If you are putting this on a tough surface (cement, woods, etc.) then you might want something to thicken the mat. If you are going on carpet (which I do), you will be okay. I like that it isn't clunky.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

The mat does NOT slip! My daughter does back handsprings and tucks on this mat and it doesn't move. We even have it laying on carpet. There is velcro holding it in place and it stays put!

It is not non-slip, its just plastic on the bottom, I actually have mine in the living room and haven't had any issues with it slipping on the carpet.

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

It has a semi textured surface so it alone will not be slippery. The biggest cause of slipping will be grip strength or lack of and stability strength/ fatigue.

It's not so much thicker as less slippery. I love this mat. My hands used to slide in down dog...now I can use good form and feel strong.

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

Yes, I would consider it non-slip. Certainly helps with your grip on the M8.
