Manduka PRO Yoga Mat – Premium 6mm Thick Mat, High Performance Grip, Ultra Dense Cushioning for Support and Stability in Yoga, Pilates, Gym and Any General Fitness

It’s the best mat out there. The simple truth.
Description says «black», but it’s deep red! I’ve been graduating up the «yoga mat ladder» for a long time now… going from the 15 euro mats to the 30 euro mats, to the 60 euro mats… as a present to myself for completing my YTT I finally got the Manduka pro because it felt like time for a REAL YOGA MAT. Not the kind that stretches strangely, or slips under your grip, or loses chunks when it gets stuck to floors…. no, I wanted the real deal. And this mat delivers. I love it so much- it’s a big heavy beast with lots of padding and lots of grip. Hopefully it’s the last yoga mat I ever buy.

Me llegó ayer y hoy lo utilicé por primera vez. Sin duda se nota la calidad, es una esterilla espesa, no se mueve del suelo, resulta muy cómoda incluso para las asanas donde hay que clavar la rodilla. Yo no resbalo, pero tampoco sudo demasiado, así que en eso no puedo opinar.Es cierto que el mat no huele a nada, tal y como otros usuarios me respondieron.Estoy muy muy contenta. A falta de más practica sobre el Manduka Pro, puedo asegurar que merece la pena.

Perfecta,muy contenta,nada que ver con las que venden más baratas,me siento cómoda y segura en las posturas de yoga

I decided to try a Manduka Pro mat because my Ashtanga teacher and another one of my experienced yoga teachers highly recommended the mat for durability, comfortability, and practice experience. My Ashtanga teacher has 2 Pro mats that she’s used for 15 years, and they hardly look worn at all.I was concerned about cushion for the knees – like, is the Pro mat too hard? (I need someextra padding for my knees. They hurt kneeling on hard surfaces because they were injured years ago in a fall.) My teacher friends assured me it was comfortable, even on knees.I know people usually get a Pro Lite for use outside the home/at the studio, but I wanted the extra cushion for my knees, so I got a Pro (6mm) for the extra padding (and extra width!). I love it!! It is a heavier mat than most, but I still take it to the studio without a problem. (Even my 12yr old brings her Pro mat to the studio for Ashtanga practice without a problem.)I use the Pro mat for meditating, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, and several other styles of yoga. I use it for Yin sometimes too, but I usually bring my extra squishy mat for that practice, just to give a more comfortable feel while I hold poses for 5 min. Either that or sometimes I put a blanket on my Pro mat.The Pro mat did come with a slippery residue on it. I did the salt treatment and also scrubbed it with a bit of water and grease cutting dish soap. That worked pretty well to get maybe 75% of the slippery residue off. That was enough to use it for my practice. Beyond that, in my mat bag I keep a dish sponge with a (blue) gentle scratchy pad on one side, and I just gently scrub the mat when I’m done with practice. That has helped a lot to get the last bit of slippery coating off my mat.I love that the Pro is good for my knees but still a good surface for doing balance poses on. I don’t have much of a problem doing tree pose on the Pro. On squishier mats, that felt ok on my knees, I’d have to step onto the floor for some of the longer held or more complicated balance poses/sequences. I don’t have to step off the Pro mat.I love this mat! I got the “colorfield” blue one because I thought it was pretty and I figured I’d have the mat for a long time, so I might as well get one I really enjoyed!Another note:I was also able to try a Pro Lite before I decided on purchasing the Pro. I think the Pro Lite is an excellent choice for someone who doesn’t need the extra knee support or cushion, or wants a lighter mat to carry to practice, but still wants the same surface the Pro mat has.

Tapis de très bonne qualité, agrippe bien, suffisamment épais pour mes genoux fragiles et ne s’est pas détérioré depuis mon achat. Très contente de mon achat.

I’ve used this mat now for 5 years. Only gets better and more «grippy» with age. No signs of wear or fading. The size and thickness make this the comfiest mat ever. If I ever have to purchase another mat in my lifetime, it will be a Manduka 100%
