Definitely try the unlimited for a month! You might get hooked and it'll be really good for you anyway. Check around, too- is there a YMCA type place near you? Sometimes they'll have better deals, or check for punch-cards or packs of passes that'll give you a discount. Sometimes it helps to just, you know, ask for a discount if it's too expensive.
You can easily buy this stuff at a Wal-Mart or K-Mart or wherever; yeah, it's likely to be overpriced at the studio even though it's all the same. The one thing I'd recommend is considering a longer mat, which is more expensive. I'm only 5'2" and I get by on a smaller mat, but one of my ex-boyfriends was 6'6" so I ordered him an extra long yoga mat and immediately wanted it for myself, just for the extra space! But you can bop down to the Wal-Mart and pick up a mat for, I dunno, $10?
Never worry about shaving your legs- I only do it sporadically (I don't even shave my armpits for half the year, it seems like), but I've never been in a yoga studio where people cared. Basic hygiene is nice but I've been in some stinky studios as well, with some damn hippies ;)
To start, I'd simply suggest a mat, comfy clothes that don't ride up or down, and a sports bra if you've got one. Just keep in mind that you're going to be doing a lot of moving into random positions, so if you're tugging your shirt down and your pants up half the time, you're going to feel distracted and self-conscious. Also bring a water bottle.
I really love yoga; I don't do it nearly enough, or nearly as much as I want to anyway, but can tell a definite difference when I do go through spurts of doing it. I've also been complimented by a variety of chiropractors, massage therapists, and physical therapists, because I apparently have great range of motion- which taken with the fact I've got sciatica and a terrible back, they all attribute to the yoga because otherwise I'd be in a pretzel-shape all the time. I hope you try it out and like it!!
A good way to start out would be with 200-300 point matches. Still manageable to play on a 3x3, and can be a quick way to learn the ropes and see some combos working out. Time could definitely be an issue, as a full game with teaching would be well over 2 hours long. Along those lines, this is a super cheap way to get a full sized play area for much cheaper than the FFG mats. Plus, if you're playing at 200-300 points, you can have two games going, each on a 3x3. You can definitely mark up one side to have a middle line, deployment zone, etc...
There's the other ones that people recommend for people starting out:
Limit upgrades on ships
Limit # of squadrons/no squads to start (It can be nice not worrying about a whole command)
No objectives(passing initiative may help or custom starter objectives. Contested outpost is always an easy one)
Etc, etc...
There's a lot to this game. Keeping it simple to start is recommended. Love the idea!
Yes, last year I bought a well-reviewed yoga mat off of Amazon. I liked the length because I'm a tall guy, and the reviews said the slipperyness would wear off after the first few sessions.
Well, it never really wore off, and after 10-20min I can't do a downward dog without my hands slowly sliding. I feel like a dog in a tile kitchen.
Loved the color, loved the length, loved the thickness; none of it matters if I don't feel safe on it.
What I did best investment ever. Spent total $20 bucks for an XL yoga mat on Amazon. Best part is unlike other high end printed mats, the ships tend to stay in the same spot on yoga mat. Doesn't move slightly unless you pick it up or really bump it. Keeps everyone honest. Plus you saved money so now more funds for ships.
Here is what I bought granted in 2016 it was $20. Still use it and it has held up well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MTWI48/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would be happy too. I used a tutorial video from YouTube as a starting point. https://youtu.be/spdescYFqIE His video states that it can be done for $150 but that is assuming you already have a bunch of stuff on hand. Overall mine cost about $125 and that involves me using an old table as a starting point.
Instead of bulding the legs from scratch I used the base of an old table, part of this was to save cost, part was to eliminate what I considered a lot of bulkiness. The playable surface measures 48in x 48in.
I decided against installing the cup holders and dice trays as I felt that they took up too much space. Instead I plan on installing removable cup holders in the future so that when they are not being used they can be removed.
Overall I was able to complete the initial building in one day, this will take more time if you are new to woodworking or if you have to build the legs from scratch. It than took another week to properly finish the wood. I have 1 coat of stain and 6 coats of polyurethane on all wood surfaces, I sanded with 320grit sandpaper between each coat of polyurethane. After the final coat of polyurethane, I let it dry for 48 hours and did a final wetsanding with 1500 grit sandpaper to provide a silkly smooth finish.
For the padded surface I used a 6x6 yoga mat bought off of Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JM73RY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_1pymzb2HN45ZZ I than cut it down to size and secured to surface with removable double sided tape.
For my project I used the following materials, some of which I had on hand but a lot I bought.

If anyone has any questions I will try to respond in the most timely manner.
Pinched nerves, migraines, blah blah. You mess with a spine, there are going to be issues. Don't be like me and wait 12 years to get serious about doing something about it, is my best advice! And do NOT stop doing what works for you just because you get better (she says to herself...)!
Ok, try not to laugh TOO hard at my incredibly artful drawings! Here is the yoga/stretching program that I do daily. This is the very basic start of it. As these became easier I upped the time held, how far I reached, added new positions, etc. I also included the little hand strengthening set I just got from Amazon. Nerve damage can be a sneaky little bastard, and hand weakness can sneak up on you. Dropping reins sucks. If it's an issue, might be something to consider. I'm also using it to get better at my piano playing. Also sharing the Amazon links to my favorite (and cheap) yoga mat and assistance/stretch strap. :)

6'3 here and I use a jade harmony 74" mat in hot yoga classes. I am by far one of the sweatiest people in the class and the mat holds up very well. It's $70 shipped from amazon w/ amazon prime. Fantastic reviews. Eco friendly. Amazing grip.
Get it.

For a cheap mat, go to places that sell an assortment of inexpensive/discount things (here in the US it's places like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Cost U Less, Aldi, Costco, etc.). I got my boyfriend a mat from Marshall's for $7 that I use at home. If you're not picky on color, you can get one on Amazon for <$20. The one I use at the yoga studio I regularly attend is the Manduka PROlite. It's very squishy and comfortable.
I typically don't sweat much, especially in an air conditioned gym but at the yoga studio I sweat... A LOT. If I don't bring a towel, I'm dripping all over the place. It feels good though.
Good luck!
The bespin one from FFG is the best but its always out of stock.
If you get ffg mats be careful to not store them up and down but side to side or else you get this weird egg crate texture.
If you're not going the two 3x3 mats from ffg style, which should cost you ~$40 each, I suggest the yoga mat style. Remember you'll actually need it to be slightly larger than 6'x3'... ideally you get one that's more like 6'x4' so you can fit cards and such on the edges, but those can get costly and it's not totally needed. The deal to beat is this 6'x3' yoga mat for ~$25 shipping included. You can get slightly cheaper on amazon for the same looking thing but not black.
I think this is what I use I can't remember but it was cheap and from Amazon
YogaAccessories (TM) Extra Wide / Extra Long 1/4'' Deluxe Yoga Mat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FLK6IY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L0l4xb0TAFQ0F
I then put a Yoga Rat Towel on top. The towel is long enough and the width is good. The width doesn't cover the entire XL mat so if you want to move a foot to the rubber for whatever reason you can very easily.
THE XL YOGA TOWEL for XL yoga mats: 100% Microfiber, super-absorbent, enhances grip and protects your mat. Many colors to choose from. 26" x 85" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AZ5B0K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_51l4xbEAK7A9T

The Yoga Mat on Amazon is a great cheap alternative for $30. It's EXACTLY 3x6 and what's great is the material is super non-slip. So nudging is limited.
Hope this helps!!
When I started the gaming club, I invested in some extra-wide black yoga mats, which I cut down to create several 36"x36" play mats. I used an old toothbrush and a bit of white acrylic paint to lightly splatter some "stars" onto them. Each mat ends up costing about $13, and has lasted for years now with no signs of wear. My favorite thing about them is that the yoga mat surface is really grippy, which helps prevent accidental bumping of ships and asteroids. I like pretty much everything about them, really.
If you're interested, search for "Yoga Accessories Extra Wide and Extra Long 1/4'' Deluxe Yoga Mat" on Amazon, or maybe this link will work:
https://www.amazon.com/Extra-Wide-Long-Deluxe-Yoga/dp/B002PA1KWK/
For a beginner I would recommend a 1/4" thick mat that's pretty thick and comfortable. it won't kill your hands and legs while learning the basic poses.

my favorite yoga mat (though more expensive) is the Jade yoga mat. It's slightly thinner but has better grip technology and texture for harder poses...less opportunities to slip.
http://www.amazon.com/Jade-Harmony-Professional-Yoga-Midnight/dp/B000EC9LMM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376686234&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=jade+yoga+mat
It’s not a major brand, but I have tried a few in the $50 range & I love this. Had it for a year, use daily for ashtanga practice, still perfect. Don’t slip at all, from day 1. https://www.amazon.com/IUGA-Unbeatable-Performance-Certified-Lightweight/dp/B079BK15PT/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&amp;keywords=iuga&amp;psc=1&amp;qid=1572424304&amp;sr=8-7
Woops! Hopefully this works better. There's been vodka involved tonight. Please excuse me.
Don't worry about the 3rd paragraph. It's all related, anyway. Those videos looks really good. I've heard of the first one (but that means little).
You might even check out barre type workouts. They're intense, but amazing workouts.
I got THESE. they're a bit more expensive than alternatives, but they make up for it because:

Nice work!
Just throwing in another option for anyone reading this thread: An extra wide yoga mat can work too.
Pros: Can get an epic size mat w/o a seam (or 2 3x3 mats out of it). It has a better grip than the offical mats. Pretty cheap if you find a buddy to split one with you.
Cons: Kind of bulky to haul around with you. It's a bit soft, spongy, and bumpy. Not sure how well stars painted on it will stick.
I need hangers cause I'm an idiot and don't have enough with me to even fill up part of the closet. I also need a rice cooker cause food? And this pad thing so that I can work out in my apartment and so that when my boyfriend visits he doesn't sleep on the bare floor. XD I guess they link with apartmenty stuff, but in totally different rooms. XD And to infinity and beyond!
I have an extra long mat that I got from amazon.com, I can't recall the brand right now but it was mid-range (not Lulu, not the cheapest out there). I like it, I believe it's 72" long, but I could actually stand to have a longer mat for certain poses.
Good looking 72" long mat: http://www.amazon.com/Aurorae-Northern-Lights-Golden-Focal/dp/B0050D1R36/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377676197&amp;sr=8-11
Even longer but quality looks sketchy: http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Wide-Long-Deluxe-Yoga/dp/B002PA1KWK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377676197&amp;sr=8-2
So at least you know they're out there!
This one is really cheap and really durable- best is both worlds!! PS hello there!!

Does anyone have a favorite yoga/exercise mat? Wirecutter recommends this jade Harmony mat and this Lululemon one but I'm a little concerned about the weight bc I walk to and from my yoga classes so I'm just curious if there are any other ones people like or if they have experience with either of those two.
Oversized Yoga Mat would likely be a good choice.
Could buy something like (: https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Direct-6-Feet-Square-Olive/dp/B003JMI2F6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466445662&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Oversized+Yoga+mat )
Then cut to fit your playspace + potentially buy double-sided tape to lock it down if your wanting it to not move at all, or some other lock down alternative. When your done playing, can even roll it up and toss it aside.
Yoga mat. Amazon
It's nice and grippy (much better than the wood table top we were playing on). Also, the mat is big enough that you can make 2 play surfaces out of it.
I have a PrAna mat and love it. I recommend ordering off Amazon because they discount colors that don't sell as well. At the time that I bought mine, the blue was only $50. It looks like the spinach one is cheapest now.
http://www.amazon.com/prAna-Womens-Indigena-Natural-Yoga/dp/B0059STE50/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1421250313&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=prana+yoga+mat
I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but Junk mat is awesome. I play almost all my games on it, and on tournaments everyone who brings a set seems to have it.
Dude. Cork yoga mats.
My hands tend to get sweaty and slip on my mat regardless of whether I'm doing normal yoga or hot yoga. I bought a yoga towel for hot yoga, which helped my hands, but my feet don't get as sweaty and then they'd slip on the yoga towel. I did halfsies for a bit.
Then I got an Amazon gift card for doing a biometric screening at work and used it to buy this cork yoga mat on Amazon. And I. DO. NOT. SLIP. Even in a super-sweaty and demanding hot power vinyasa class.
Highly recommend if you're willing/able to swing the cost.
I've considered buying a yoga mat from a thrift store, sanitizing it, then cutting it to size. It might take two strips to cover the table, but one seam isn't bad, and the whole thing would only cost like $5-$10.
Here's something along the lines of what I'm talking about, but this one is 36" wide, which is nice. https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Direct-Extra-Wide-Black/dp/B007MTWI48
Maybe there's something similar available in your country.
I had typed out a pretty long unfriendly response about how I feel about expensive yoga clothes. I deleted all of it.
Yoga, like any sport, you usually get what you pay for in equipment. The more expensive stuff uses natural materials and someone like manduka will stand behind their product whereas a no-name brand on the internet probably won't.
this is what i use. It is nothing fancy, and it isn't made out of recycled anything. I needed it quickly and I've been using it over a year. It's larger, and an odd color (which I like).
My favorite however is a towel on the grass. Unfortunately I don't get to do that as often as I'd like.
First off, congratulations on losing almost 100 pounds! That's an amazing accomplishment.
When I started doing DDP Yoga, my apartment had carpeted floors, so I never had this issue. However, my current apartment has hardwood floors, and the first time I used my old cheap yoga mat, which was super thin, it just killed my knees. Just getting into safety zone was painful, and I certainly felt it the next day.
I started having a foam cushion nearby and using it when I knew I had to be on my knees, but having to place it and remove it constantly was really inconvenient. I ended up buying a much thicker yoga mat (1/2 inch thick mat, similar to this one on Amazon) and that definitely helped prevent this. So I would recommend that.
I recently started focusing a bit more on fitness due to some life changes so a lot of my items are specific to running and yoga.
If I were Oprah, it would be a toss up between FlipBelt (just got one and it's amazing) or Gear Beast Sports Armband and a year's subscription to Endomondo. (I also just recently got Endomondo and I love the data).
I use this one. It's held up very well for me, but I don't do regular practice on it. I use it for the purpose mentioned above and for doing static things like frog pose for 20/30 minutes at a time, practicing splits outside of classes, etc. It's the same consistency as cheap-ish beginner mats that wouldn't (for me) hold up well to more than ~10 sweaty/hard flow classes.
An extra wide yoga mat works great as a play surface. I don't know if you can find anything with more grip. Link.
I have this and it's awesome to play on.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002PA1KWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_YfKs8vGLsfShL
I got this one [here] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGAQ7KS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) and I absolutely love it. I've been using it for a little over a month now. I'm a tall guy, and this works just fine for me. Not too expensive either.
Another alternative is check out yoga mats. I bought this one from Amazon : http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007MTWI48?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
It's really durable and a nice material to play off of.
That's what a junk mat is. A plastic ridge fitted onto a mat so that you can make a table lip with a nice padded surface for playing on. When you buy one it comes with both.
Also, they sell specific tables with the lip built in. You can find both on Amazon.
Edit: Here's the link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017KHW3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_a32FDbPMCHBG0
http://www.amazon.com/Mahjong-mat-junk-japan/dp/B0017KHW3A/ Sukiyaki Japan (via Amazon) is offering free shipping to the US. Not sure if they're doing the same for New Zealanders but if they are this is a pretty good price.
I think it depends on the studio...mine has a mix of fitness model types that look like they could do a handstand on their pinkys, and those that modify at least one section or more. The instructors are so awesome about helping everyone target the right muscles without the wrong kind of pain.
Those donuts are taller than I was picturing. They are stable? It is very cool that your studio offers them.
This is the mat I use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WD3HGJX/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_N8caCb8RJGCCF
Nice! Do you like it? I've been really interested in this one from Amazon but it doesn't have a ton of reviews https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6OCQR7/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=APGKW39CKGKFT
Primarily at home. My first foray into at-home yoga was through the Yoga with Adriene youtube channel. She has years and years of free practices posted there. I currently pay for her membership site and have been using that at home. It has a lot of the youtube content but also has a lot of series and special practices reserved for members.
I suggest getting a Gaiam extra thick mat (usually $25-$30 on amazon) and then using a foam pad like this to provide extra protection to sore spots until you notice you don't need it.
Changing your floor space won't affect tracking, as long as you are in view of the sensors you're good.
For the static, put down some mats, like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BPQDNM4/
Sorry for the late answers, was away and didn't check reddit.
Okay, mats: they are called "junk" mats.
Two kinds: mat between two borders that you roll out and then put the other two edges on, and 4-puzzle-piece mat.
roll pro: nice and flat
roll con: will eventually 'stretch out'.
puzzle pro: cheap and cheap to ship
puzzle con: eventually gets fray-y on the piece edges.
Roll: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%A4%A7%E6%B4%8B%E5%8C%96%E5%AD%A6-%E9%BA%BB%E9%9B%80%E3%83%9E%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%83%9E%E3%83%83%E3%83%88/dp/B0017KHW3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462492513&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=junk+mat

I definitely suggest the roll. just don't lift it with tiles on it.
I have the Jade Harmony and I love it.
If it's just to do your workout on, you're probably better off getting a rubber mat from Walmart or a sporting goods store. Look for the kind that you put underneath a treadmill because they're at least 5x8. That'll catch a lot of your sweat and you won't be falling off it like if you were using a yoga mat. Plus they're really thin and can be rolled up and out of the way between workouts.
The main thing is not to get the foam mats or anti-fatigue mats at Home Depot. With all the explosive movements in Insanity, those options are an easy way to roll an ankle.
Small one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/21672521
Large: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JMI2F6
If you think you may want to use weights (barbell/dumbbells), you may want to opt for a stall mat, available almost anywhere livestock feed is sold. Don't want to damage the floors.
This is the mat I use. Works great:
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B007MTWI48
Mmhm, like a cheapo folding table. The kind your parents would bring camping. The lip would be at most an inch. The idea is that with that lip, you could rack tiles, dice won't fly out, etc.
Size of the table itself should be big enough that it should fit a junk mat, since that would be exactly what the table is replacing.
Get this ships and space rocks don't really move around from bumping at all and it's super cheap and exactly the right size. This is on my game table at home and I have x-wing mats since most official tournaments require those.
I have an Iuga Pro mat from amazon. It has awesome grip and cushion. I don’t slide around at all during hot yoga. Only downside is it has a bit of a scent to it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079BK15PT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XPDXCbQXF9HAB
I'm 5'9" and have a 78" x 26" prAna mat and it doesn't stand out. While it takes up more floor space than a standard mat, it doesn't really make a difference when it comes to having enough room for all yogis to practice, even in the classes where there are 30-40+ people in one room. It does make a huge difference in my comfort level since prior to buying it I'd constantly end up on the floor.
There was a lady who had a big, square mat in some of my classes and even her mat didn't really make much of a difference in available space.
I bought a 48"x72" black yoga mat. The bases grip the surface beautifully. I used a white paint marker I bought from Michaels to make stars on it. Here's a link to what I have. I'm using mobile so not sure if it will work.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PA1KWK/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
Amazon. I bought [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/YogaAccessories-TM-Extra-Wide-Deluxe/dp/B001FLK6IY?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=extra%20long%20yoga%20mat&amp;qid=1458884152&amp;ref_=sr_1_4&amp;sr=8-40) and it's good. It's 7ft long and wider than normal mats.
I ordered a yoga mat and cut it in half, to make two 36"x36" mats that work pretty well
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MTWI48/
Best surface, no-slip. Cut it in half for 2 or keep it big for epic.
I bought this one:

It's been good so far...
I got this one for a couple of bucks less. It's good quality and very thick. It ended up being too thick for me so I got a different one.
I tried felt prior to shelling out the cash for an official playmat. I thought it would work out well but in practice the small fibers of the felt kept grabbing the ship's bases when I tried to move them which then jerked the whole mat and shook everything around. Also it didn't like to sit flat without a good deal of effort. Ultimately I had to be very cautious in making any movements which slowed down the game and detracted from the experience.
Maybe a higher quality felt would work better, but I would not recommend it. I've seen this recommended around here before, you can cut out two playmats and get a nice grippy mats with enough space for epic play as well
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BPQDNM4/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
The ones I got. I like em thick.
I just ordered THIS mat and it will arrive next week.
3' x 6' whose length I will trim to fit my table.
I'll let you know how it works out.
Like I said, the mat im using now is too stretchy, has no grip, so it moves a lot when I'm trying to do certain excersies.
This is it.
Amazon sells a relatively inexpensive 6x3 black yoga mat. I use it for Star Wars: Armada and epic-scale X-Wing games and it works great.
I bought this one. Works well.

Oh! Yoga mat!
For yogaing. All the yogiest yogaing.
Edit: I decided I need to add an explanation. More because I want to. I go to the gym three days a week. I run and do the weight machines. On my off days I don't end up with a lot I can do, I have a yoga dvd I've been trying to do but the carpet in my apartment is so thin! When I end up on the floor my hip bones dig into the concrete. It hurts enough to keep me from doing yoga anymore.
