   Yoga matI bought this mat and it was not what I expected. I thought it would have more grip. Too slippery for me. I returned and got the B Mat, which I like better.

   Elevate your yoga practice.I have been practising yoga for many years and while the yoga poses can be done on any surface, it is preferred that the exercise should be done on a surface that holds its grip and does not slide around during exercise. The Manduka performs this function quite efficiently, once you lay it down it does not budge from its place.Another big advantage the Manduka has over its peers is in the area of cushioning. As I mentioned before, yoga can be done on any surface but prolonged exercise on a hard surface makes the practice very painful and is hard on hands, fingers and elbows. This Mat provides the cushioning that prevents any discomfort of this sort. I would say that this mat is thick as if two regular mats were molded together. The cushioning does add to the heft, about 7 pounds, but for most of us who practice at home, it is a minor peeve. If you carry it around, then Manduka has another mat designed specifically for this purpose.The mat is 71 inches long i.e. 5 feet 11 inches, which is suitable for me and should be fine for most folks. I would have preferred the longer length which is 85 inches but that is more of a wish than a genuine regret of buying the shorter one.I purchased the indigo colored mat at 90 dollars and that is a lot of money but it is worth it. Manduka mats come with a lifetime guarantee, there is a detailed explanation on the Manduka website on their replacement warranty. Basically they would replace the mat for anything except for the following reasons:Creases/Folds/Discoloration from improper handling and/or storing- it is best to lay the mat flat or keep it rolled upUneven color patterns or discoloration at the time of purchase or due to useDamage from excessive amounts of water or other liquids(i.e. submerging the mat under water)Improper cleaning (i.e. harsh chemicals, damage from a washing machine,vacuum cleaner, etc.)Damage from use other than yoga or similar fitness activitiesDamage from outside elements/factors that puncture the matExtended exposure to direct sunlightMats purchased before September 1st, 2008The PRO Squared is not included under the Lifetime GuaranteeTo store the mat, I would Roll your Black Mat PRO with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards. This keeps the corners of the mat flat when practicing. However you can just leave the mat in a spot where you exercise because that is the most preferred method of storage.Many users have complained about the stickiness that results from usage- Relax.Stickiness is common and afflicts all mats, it is just that the Mat is clean and no dust or other substances have made the mat its home. The stickiness does go away with time and the only way to make it go away faster is to use the mat regularly. If you do find the mat is becoming sticky, use a Manduka Mat Renew or any non-solvent household cleaner and a damp cloth or sponge. Hang to dry in the sunshine. DO NOT clean your mat with a garden hose, put in the bathtub or shower, put it in the washing machine, or use a vacuum cleaner – it may break the machine and ruin your mat.This is the best mat that your money can buy and can provide the stability and support for Yoga practice. Highly recommended.

   This is great.I can tell this is going to last me a long time. I’m a quality technician and I could come up with a bunch of metrics to evaluate this but I think this would be the benchmark. Durable and cushioning for home. Might not want to carry it around but it wouldn’t be all that bad for carrying.

   The last mat I’ll ever need.I love my Manduka Pro Mat. I have the Black Magic color. Obviously I was worried about the slipping reviews so I’ll address that first- out of the box it is “slippery” but almost like a thin layer of oil. As soon as I did one test pose and decided it definitely has to be broken in. I salted mine, not like the little bit of salt in Manduka’s video, like I poured so much salt it was basically white. I left it for 24 hours and then used warm water and the green side of a sponge and scrubbed firmly in circles. It worked and it has been the best mat I ever used and it keeps getting better. I regularly clean my mat as well using a mat spray, this is key to maintaining the nice gripe. I noticed pretty early the oils from my hands/feet can build up in my typical spots if I don’t give it a wipe down (spray and use a microfiber cloth) after each class. It’s “heavy” but I have no problem carrying it in a bag from my car to class or moving it around my house. That heaviness is quality, I experience no knee pain and can hold postures much longer without discomfort. I previously had to fold my mat or use a foam square, not having to deal with interrupting my flow is so nice. It’s comfortable but it’s not at all soft or squishy, it’s a very firm stable support. I’m so glad I decided to take the plunge and get a quality mat, it is so enjoyable I find myself doing even more yoga than ever almost every single day. The surface looks as perfect as when I got it. It unrolls perfectly after the first few months, with the weight and flipping over to roll it topside out from the feet first everytime it completely flat whenever I take it out.My only negative is as much as I absolutely love the deep purple color it shows any dust and sometimes gets marks from skin as well, but it cleans very easily. If that’s a big concern for you I’d probably recommend a lighter color.

   Comfortable, stable, great color and not slippery for meAfter buying and trying a cheaper Yoga mat found here on Amazon, I decided to do some research for a better mat.I just started Yoga a month ago, so bear with me, I’m definitely not an expert. But this mat and brand are mentioned a lot, praised for its build quality, lifetime warranty and thickness. I’ve read it can be divisive on the traction for some people and break it in might take some time.I’ve been lucky to have the option to buy this mat via the warehouse deals (used – like new state) for $117 instead of the $150. When I received it, it was still brand new in its original package, never opened.Now the mat itself, it’s really dense, cushy and thick without it being unstable. It has some great support. I also like that it seems to be a bit longer and larger than a regular mat. As I’m using it at home (hello Covid) it’s not a problem for me, but might be an issue for people going to a studio ?I had a knee injury few years ago and I don’t need to had another layer under my knee. It’s comfortable enough on its own.I didn’t do the salt treatment at first but instead, sprayed the mat with some Lysol, let it sit 5/10 minutes and dried it with a clean towel (hello Covid)I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried the downward dog position and I didn’t slip at all. I guess it depends on people, but I’m not a sweaty person, this might help. I know others find this mat slippery, well, it’s not the case for me. I even canceled the order I placed for a Yogitoes towel just in case. I won’t need it.At the end, I’m super impressed and happy with this purchase. I feel this mat will last me loooong years and I’m glad I made this investment. As a bonus note, the magic black color is really beautiful.

   Great quality yoga matThis mat exceeded my expectations! I had a cheap one before and wasn’t really sure this was worth 5x the price, fortunately it is. It has a really nice grippy texture which has got better as I used it (not ideal for hot yoga or very sweaty hands tho). It’s very thick and I find my sessions much more comfortable, the only downside is the weight – I’ll only be using it at home so not an issue but I wouldn’t want to carry long distances. Can see this lasting a lifetime!

   Excelente densidad y comodidad. Buen agarre.Es posible que leas muchos comentarios de que se resbala. La realidad es que si buscas un tapete en que tus manos se queden “pegadas” y no se mueven jamás aunque no hagas ningún esfuerzo por sostener el perro boca abajo o el guerrero 2, este no es para ti.Pero si buscas un tapete con buen agarre que te permita no caer pero que te obligue a activar tu centro y afianzar las manos desde los dedos para sostenerte y no te deje ser perezos@ dejando todo el trabajo a la adherencia, puede que este sea el producto correcto. A la larga tu práctica lo puede agradecer, ya que estarás usando la musculatura para sostener tus posturas, no simplemente dejando el peso caer. Dicho eso, el sol intenso le ayuda mucho, y lo de la sal también. Para mi dejarlo en el sol por varias horas hizo una gran diferencia. Es suficiente para trabajar en el y creo que va a mejorar con el tiempo. Aún así cuando me sudan mucho las manos me comienzo a resbalar. Pero no te caerás de cara pues se supone que tienes control, y que eres capaz de sostener esa postura incluso con una mano, cierto? y si tienes cerca una toalla para limpiar el exceso de sudor, estarás bien.Este tapete es increíblemente cómodo para las rodillas. He probado otros que son cómodos pero suaves así que más muñecas se me hunden. En este eso no pasa, se mantiene firme y es muy denso pero logra proteger a las rodillas. Nunca más volver a hacer un dobléz extra en la zona de las rodillas.Por otro lado sí que es pesado. Considéralo si quieres cargarlo por todos lados y quieres viajar ligero. Yo he decidido que vale la pena cargarlo pues me encanta.

   Beste Yogamatte am Markt!Für die Yogis, die noch überlegen, welche Yogamatte zu kaufen: kauft euch die Manduka Pro! Die Matte ist ideal für Yogis, die viel Zeit in Armbalances verbringen oder für Yogis, die empfindliche Handgelenke haben. Ich übe seit 6 Jahren auf der gleichen Manduka Pro und sie sieht gleich aus wie am Tag 1. Ja, sie ist rutschig die ersten paar Male (besonders wenn man mehr schwitzt), aber sie ist definitiv weniger rutschig wenn man vor dem ersten Gebrauch die “Salzmethode” anwendet. Und die ersten paar Male rutschen lohnt sich für die Matte, die einen wahrscheinlich das ganze Leben begleiten wird. Wenn ihr tägliche Praxis habt, vergisst die Lululemon oder Liforme, die nach einem Jahr kaputt gehen und kauft euch stattdessen die Manduka Pro.

    ¡Mi Mat favorito!💕El mat pro de manduka es mi favorito por su acojinamiento y que es súper fácil de limpiar llevo casi 2 años con él y parece nuevo. Lo uso casi diario. Pero si te sudan las manos mucho y lo que quieres es que tenga más agarre, recomiendo uno de caucho. Aún cuando este tiene buen agarre, si es un día muy caluroso si llego a resbalar, nada muy extremo. Pero si vas a invertir en un Mat costoso este 👉 es el ideal 100%
