Manduka 71-Inch Black Yoga Mat Reviews

One of the most durable yoga mats available, Manduka's black mat is made from high-performance material designed to endure a lifetime of yoga practice... The mat has a specific top and bottom surface... The top's sticky surface keeps feet firmly rooted during balancing poses, such as Warrior or Downward Facing Dog... The bottom side remains stable on hard floors or carpet, and won't shift or bunch up during movement.

The yoga mat's 1/4-inch thickness provides superior cushioning for the spine, hips, knees, and elbows during restful postures like Child's pose... For safe practicing, the yoga mat's surface remains slip-free even when wet with perspiration... Measuring 71 inches long and 26 inches wide, the mat is long enough for taller yoga practitioners... Though its 6-1/2-pound weight makes it a little heavier than other yoga mats, with more weight, comes noticeably more comfort.

Customer Review: Nice mat, but still gets slippery

This yoga mat is heavy, soft, and appears to be made of very high quality material... However, I have had a lot of difficulty in removing the slippery film... I have used it for approx 20 yoga sessions, I have wiped it down after each session, and I have scrubbed it a few times with a nylon brush, but it is still slippery when wet.

Customer Review: It's a great mat!!

I have been using 2 thinner yoga mats for about 3 years and finally spent the money for a really good mat... I am very happy with this yoga mat... It is thick enough to use alone... It is slippery at first because of a film they put on it, but in a few weeks of use, it works wonderfully... I have no compaints. More Information
