Hi,

And welcome to alt.yoga. Your on-topic post is most appreciated :-)

I personally don't think plastic mats, sticky, stinky or otherwise are
the way to go. Here is a link to a mat I bought and am very happy
with. Others I have suggested it to were also happy, so I don't
hesitate to suggest it.

There is also a link on this page to a discussion of why sticky mats
are not really appropriate for serious yoga. And I agree, that mats
should not provide grip. If you need grip to hold a pose then you are
not balanced and relaxed into the pose and you are just kidding
yourself that you are doing hatha yoga.
