Manduka Pro Yoga Mat

So I've had my Manduka Yoga Mat for around 10 years and normally every year I try to travel to one of my teachers. However here's one thing I never ta...

I read all the reviews and decided those who said it wasn’t slippery were the minority and/or didn’t prep it properly or were possibly using poor technique. I have had mine now for two months, practicing yoga with it 4-5 times a week and have tried various cleaning/degreasing methods a total of four...

This will probably be a great mat eventually - once I go through the process of salt scrubs, de-greasing agents, and/or waiting weeks to months for the slippery surface to wear off . . . But I find it completely unfathomable that a yoga mat being sold for over $100 does not arrive *already* in worki...

First off, this mat is obviously expensive, but I've had mine for a year and a half, and it looks just about the same as when I bought it. There are some reviews I've read on these mats that move out the time frame to as much as a decade. If you do the math, cheap mats will be a lot more expensive i...

I'm 50+ and I bought this mat specifically because I was experiencing knee pain on my thinner mat. I've now had it for a few months and used it two/three times a week for normal power yoga. This is an expensive mat and I really scoured the reviews before deciding to make my purchase. I hope my contr...

I have been on the "Holy Grail", shall we say, of finding the perfect yoga mat. What is the perfect yoga mat, you ask? Well, in my perfect yoga mat world, my dream mat would be longer so you are always on the mat. It would have more height to it, so I don't have to fold mat over for knees. It wouldn...

It is sad that so many 'sticky' mats just are not. The Manduka BlackMat Pro stands up to my wide poses well. I am 6'3" tall and had been looking to replace my very stick but over worn mat (Hugger Mugger from back when...) There are not too many choices for extra long mats for us tall people, and sev...

As most of the reviewers said it is slippery at first. When I first got the mat it seemed very grippy and I was happy with the fell of the mat. I did the salt treatment to try and work off some of the coating on the mat. Trying it out just briefly at home I was happy with it. At the Studio after wor...

I can say that you don’t feel a whole lot of cushion with this mat, as it is a bit hard on the knees if you’re doing certain yoga movements. However, I also found that it was a bit slippery and that might be due to the humidity in the south. Once it had a chance to acclimate, the slipperiness disapp...

The mat is a bit slippery, but I googled this mat before purchasing and tried the "salting" method and that has made it way less slippery. I'm hoping it will become less slippery over time. It doesn't stop me from working out or put me in danger of sliding. For some workouts i use those little non s...
