Amazon Customer –
Nice mat, inconsistent shipping by Amazon.
The yoga mat looks great, BUT at first I ordered the 71â length, then realized it was shorter than my Kulae mat so I started a return & ordered the 79â mat, it arrived and unlike the first one was not shipped in a box, it was completely unprotected with an Amazon label over the information about the mat and it had been damaged in transit and had two cuts into the surface of the mat,so I ordered a replacement but it remains to be seen if itâs going to arrive in a box or unwrapped & damaged. Why on earth ship a yoga mat without packaging?? Itâs inexcusable & a waste of an expensive mat! Do better Amazon!

Heavy, strong, nice length
I have been using a decent mat from Gaiam, light weight and easy to clean, which has been perfect UNTIL I got into hot yoga. Since Iâm doing more and more yoga, Iâll still keep my old mat as a backup, but I did a ton of research for the âperfectâ mat (for me) that I will want to keep long term. This is the winner.Things to consider: this sucker is heavy, and this is the âlightâ! I weight it, and on its own, clean and dry, itâs very close to 6 pounds. It wonât fit into my old yoga bag, so Iâll have to get some straps or a new bag (not sure yet what Iâll get, so cannot recommend). Since I donât have any joint issues (yet, anyway) I went for the âlightâ. Itâs not as bulky, not as thick, and not as heavy. But still much thicker than my old mat. I am tall, so I got the 79″ (since with my regular mat Iâm always wishing for a little extra space and having to adjust.) Also, I got a darker/neutral l gray stone color that shouldnât show much staining and I wonât grow tired of. I can get bright towels and wear bright clothes, but for the mat I went for a dark/neutral to also match with everything. Color is not a deal breaker for me, but I had choices, so that was my thought process. It has a slight smell once you open, so just air it out, nothing permanent. It arrived safely and clean, in a cardboard box, protected from other items (you know how Amazon sometimes throws everything into the same box without protection). This came on its own, no dents, no issues. Arrived in two days. And of course, there is the grip. So important!!!! Itâs much better than my old mat! Iâm pleased. Iâll update my review if I have any issues, but if you read this, itâs my latest thought on this purchase. Awesome mat! Heading to yoga now. Ciao!

This is the best yoga mat, no problems with slipping. Did a salt scrub right away, as written in the manual. Good support, moderate weight. Perfect, recommend to all my friends.

Bad shipping
Great product but way it came shipped was wild. Pay over 100 dollars and it donât get shipped in a box or wrapped for protection against dirt and whatever else.

Worth it!
So happy I was able to purchase this. The padding is divine better than Liforme. (At least for me)Grip though isnât as grippy as liforme. You would need a towel.Smell since itâs new well it smells ick. Haha. But the mat cleaner of manduka should do the trick.

Amazing Mat! Just a little salty…
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! I have heard such great things about Manduka yoga mats, that when my company said they would reimburse employees for fitness equipment, my first thought was to get one of these babies! I chose the 71″ Midnight Blue Manduka Pro Lite honestly just because it was within the reimbursement budget, but also because it is a great color. I love how it is made from recycled materials and champions an eco-friendly lifestyle. It is a great width and weight, and nice and grippy! In terms of use, I sweat a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. This does a really good job of preventing slip, but also at a certain point, no mat will ever stop someone who is straight up liquid, so be realistic with your expectations (i.e. I still find it slips sometimes). Also note that I tend to use my mat on carpet, and if you were to use it on hard flooring, the mat would be even grippier and I don’t think I would have issues slipping at all!On maintenance – Manduka recommends you sprinkle a bunch of salt on your mat when you first get it to help “break it in.” Who was I to question the natural and earthy powers of the great salt break in??? Who was I to place myself above the experts of Manduka????? I decided to heed their advice. With all the passion and excitement of unleashing my mat’s true potential, I shook shook shook my salt shaker above its gleaming surface. I patiently waited, attune to my mat’s needs. After 24 hours passed, I returned to my mat, ready to welcome it into its new form. But wait – I encountered a dilemma. How exactly, were I to lift this 71″ rubber serpent from the ground?? How were I to safely deposit those millions of shaken salt crystals from my mat’s plane??? Now let us pause and note that this would not have been as arduous of a task if I had not decided to complete the great salt shake in my carpeted bedroom. Alas, my decision had already been made, my ship set on its course. With all the great balance and coordination of an amateur yoga practitioner, I raised the sides of my mat, dragging it to my bathroom. Allthewhile, I sensed myself losing thousands of salt crystal souls on the way. After patiently attempting to contain the briny gems, I finally heaved my rubber flag over the bathtub and shook shook shook as best I could, to remove the salty deposits. Yet again, I found myself tormented. This mat is praised for its grip, its hold, its strength. And so the salt remained. Defeated, I climbed into the bathtub, swallowed my pride, and brushed each individual crystal from my mat’s surface. To this day, I still find memories of the past clinging to my mat – small sodium chloride diamond reminders of heroes come and gone.So overall, I think you could probably break this in without having to salt it, unless you really really wanted to. Awesome addition to any exercise routine!!

Anfangs hatte ich bedenken, ob es so eine “teure” Matte sein muss. Aber nachdem ich schon zwei billige Matten durch habe wollte ich es wissen und es hat sich gelohnt.Die Matte ist einfach super.Sie ist stabil und fest, man hat einen sehr guten Halt und riecht nicht nach Plastik o.Ã.Das Gewicht der Matte hat mich erstaunt, ist aber durch das Robuste Material begründet.Sehr Kniefreundlich, da sie nicht nur aus Luft besteht und kaum zusammen gedrückt wird, wenn man darauf steht.Ich würde diese Matte wieder kaufen!
Anonymer Kunde –
Diese Matte ist zugegebener MaÃen sehr teuer, aber ich habe den Kauf bisher nicht bereut! Das Material hat mich sofort überzeugt. Die Matte ist sehr strapazierfähig und tatsächlich so rutschfest, wie der Hersteller sagt. So hat man selbst bei sehr schweiÃtreibenden Asanas einen prima Halt. Im Vergleich zu einigen anderen Matten, die ich bisher ausprobiert habe, ist mir dieser Unterschied sofort aufgefallen. Erst da habe ich bemerkt, dass ich auf anderen Matten, die weniger rutschfest waren, oft unbewusst eine eher krampfhafte Haltung eingenommen habe.Weiterhin kann ich – im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen – nicht sagen, dass diese Matte unangenehm riecht. Aber vielleicht ist das auch von Produkt zu Produkt geruchlich unterschiedlich intensiv…Und die “gummiartig-labbelige” Konsistenz, von der bereits berichtet wurde, empfinde ich für mir persönlich sogar als ganz angenehm. Darauf lässt es sich ohne Socken am besten üben und man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie ein Gekko auf einer senkrechten Wand 😉

ok, ahà le va pa quién le sirva. Tiene dos semanas desde que llegó mi tapete.En cuanto a la entrega, me llegó un dÃa antes de lo esperado, súper bien xq no pague envÃo. En cuanto al precio, no creo que sea muy caro para el uso que le doy.En cuanto al tapete: Desde que lo extendà me agradó el color, es muy bonito. Le puse sal tal como lo indican las instrucciones y lo tendà al sol solo un ratito (xq ha estado lloviendo), lo dejé asà poco más de un dÃa, exfoliándolo ligeramente cada tanto con la sal que le habÃa puesto. Lo limpié con el trapo húmedo y listo!A partir del dÃa siguiente lo empecé a usar. Comencé haciendo ejercicio muscular (abdominales, lagartijas, pesas y demás) y es bastante cómodo, cosa q me preocupaba xq pensé q me calarÃa el piso y no; pero los primeros dÃas se sentÃa un poco resbaloso con el sudor (a mi me sudan las manos), no en exceso, pero sà algo a considerar.Esta última semana, he hecho además Ashtanga, el primer dÃa lo usé con bastante precaución x lo resbaloso q lo habÃa sentido pero cuál ha sido mi sorpresa? con el paso de los dÃas, no se si es que le he agarrado confianza pero ya no lo siento para nada resbaloso, ni se mueve del piso ni nada.Mi opinión es…creo que acabo de comprar muy buen tapete, cómodo y con un muy buen agarre, no dudo que con el tiempo mejore. Yo tenÃa un tapete (de los económicos) y en la shala tmb habÃa usado de otros que se desmoronaban con el paso de los pies, o constantemente me resbalaba en ellos y asÃ; ahora comparándolos con éste, definitivamente se siente la calidad del material y me sorprende que aún estado bastante sudado el asunto, no me resbalo.TenÃa planeado hacerle más “exfoliaciones” x los comentarios que habÃa visto, pero para mi, asà esta bien…. Saludos!

Es la Segunda que tengo de Manduka, la otra que tiene ya 3 años aún está como el primer dÃa, yo dirÃa que aún mejor, estas esterillas con la práctica y el uso van adquiriendo adherencia, esta en el momento que la recibà le hice los baños de sal que aconsejan, y se nota como se le va la patina que trae, la verdad que vale la pena el desembolso económico, ya que lo he comprobado con la otra que tengo, que al pesar más no me viene bien para ir transportándola de clase en clase

This Yoga Mat brand speaks for itself. Get this mat after several reviews and I wanted the longer version as I’m above 180cm. At the beginning, was skeptical about the slippery surface and boy it was really slipper when i first unpacked it. Just follow Manduka guideline on how to break in the mat and after the first try it sticky with a good grip. Its a life time investment and its a good buy. Also the one I got was made in Germany.
