We’ve spent more than 20 years sweating every detail of the PRO Series mats to ensure top performance. Our ultra-dense cushioning helps protect your joints and provides extra comfort. A favorite amongst yogis, Pilates aficionados, and fitness gurus. Closed-cell technology blocks dirt and moisture from sweat. We recommend pairing with one of our performance towels to increase grip in sweaty sessions.

If you're looking for a long-lasting yoga mat for your inversion and balance Asana practice, the Manduka PRO is extremely supportive. It is on the firmer side, but it is also thick making it great for any practice that requires a significant amount of balance. This six-millimeter mat is made of Oeko-Tex Certified PVC and offers excellent dry grip and decent wet grip once broken in. It's a beefy mat that won't move when you kick your legs up into a handstand or back into a plank from a downward-facing dog. While PVC is not the most "eco-friendly" of yoga mat materials, it is also ranked very high for durability, so you won't have to replace it every year like a less durable rubber mat.  
At first, you'll find that traction on this mat leaves much to be desired, both with wet and dry hands. Once broken in properly, it becomes much stickier, allowing for a more involved yoga class, but it's best to take things slowly at first. You can also speed up the break-in process by sprinkling the unrolled mat generously with sea salt, letting it sit out in the sun for 24 hours, removing the salt with a damp clean towel, and then laying it flat to dry. This process is pretty involved but WOW does it make a difference! The PRO is worth the money and legwork if your main concerns are longevity and support.

 So this yoga mat really isn't for that so I don't think I've ever traveled with this yoga mat because it's so heavy and so if you have this yoga mat if you want to travel you will have to invest also in a travel yoga mat which will be that much lighter. So this yoga mat comes in different colors and another thing is that Manduka offers different classifications of yoga mats. This one is the heaviest. This one is considered the Pro which you will have for a lifetime

 Now another thing to consider is that this yoga mat has exceptional grip. Okay it might take some time in the beginning when you buy your yoga mat to break it in. Like for example I bought yet my yoga mat and I didn't do much research about what to do once I receive it. So I got my Manduka Yoga Mat

 Now this is a really heavy yoga mat and it comes in at 3.4 kilos. Of course if you want you can travel with it if you consider the fact that it'll be hard to bring it on the plane with you because it's too heavy you could always put it in your luggage. However once you get to wherever it is you go whether it's to practice with a teacher or a yoga retreat or anywhere you will have to carry this mat around with you to your classes and then bring it back home again

 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 take my Manduka Pro Mat with me and the main reason for that is that it's so heavy. Now this is a really heavy yoga mat and it comes in at 3.4 kilos

 Now for example in ashtanga we are coming to downward facing dog a lot. Now when we're in downward facing dog the last thing we want is our hands to be sliding anywhere. So with my Manduka now I've had this for 10 years my hands aren't going anywhere so this mat offers exceptionally good grip. Now this yoga mat is made of closed cell technology and what this means is that it won't absorb any moisture any of your sweat so if you practice something like ashtanga or vinyasa flow where you might sweat a lot especially in the summer then you don't have to worry about any of your mat absorbing any of this because all you have to do is just wipe it down at the end of your practice

MANDUKA PRO |  Review of one of the best yoga mats 2021 | Yoga mat review

 So if you're heading into a studio prepared to arm balances and handstands, what's the big deal with carrying an extra four or five pounds from your car into class? I'll bet your whole body weighs a bit more than this mat does. If you're WALKING to yoga class, that's different, but try bungee cording it to the back of a bike in that case. For me, when walking a trail to an overlook or riverbank or something, then weight does become an issue with this mat. Then again, fluffy grass will serve in a pinch

 I personally think that if some other mats weren't so mushy, they'd probably slide around alot more when sweating buckets anyway. In short, there was an initial twinge throwing down the cash for this kind of item (and the towel). However, if I use something on a very regular basis (say, everyday), and bought something shoddy, I hate it every time I see it. But if I buy quality, its like paying all the money I'm going to spend on that area for quite awhile up front-and getting something I'm actually happy with

 All of the one star reviews here, save for one about an allergic reaction, seemtobe about slippage & weight. About weight, if your doing Hatha Yoga, chances are that part of the reason you're practicing is physical fitness.

You've gotta know where your towel is.

 All in all, still a beautiful finish. The weight of this thing almost feels wet and heavy; it drops to the floor like a soaked towel and becomes one with the ground.  Progress - I've owned my Manduka Prolite for 10+ years. I watched them transition from logo stickers to fabric tags to this iteration of printed on frog

 (Side note: Manduka has been a fantastic company for me, and they sent me another one which was perfectly aligned.) This one deviates by maybe 4mm at most, and I have the extra long. All in all, still a beautiful finish. The weight of this thing almost feels wet and heavy; it drops to the floor like a soaked towel and becomes one with the ground

 This upgrade (and stay at home mat) is totally unnecessary for me - my old mat shows zero signs of wear, and I'll be hard put to justify buying another mat ever again after this one. However, as much of an indulgence as this is, I am so enthusiastic about it - it feels just different enough, like the top of the line model of a car compared to its middle sporty model, all smooth, heavy, and finished.  Size - My new mat is extra long at 85" and 26" wide. I'm what, 65 inches? I don't really need it, but it is amazing to stretch my arms up and still have mat

  Size - My new mat is extra long at 85" and 26" wide. I'm what, 65 inches? I don't really need it, but it is amazing to stretch my arms up and still have mat. Those extra inches on every side oddly give me more confidence to try balancing poses. I seriously thought this would be too long and pointless, but as soon as I laid on it, I knew it was never going back

 Out of the box, this mat is already stickier than my old prolite mat, which I find to have more than sufficient grip. For most practices, including a nice fast vinyasa / power flow, all I need is a hand (mat) towel in case my hands are slick. I do use a mat towel for hot yoga for grip and because it feels better against my skin. The striations of the embedded fabric top have changed somewhat over the years - I've attached a photo so that you can compare

Pure luxury. Sticky.

 This mat does not do that. It holds it's shape and sticks to the ground like no other. Overall, I am very pleased and actually think it's worth the money.  UPDATE 12/31/2012: I am changing my previous review from 4 starts to 5 because I actually don't slip anymore

Amazing and actually worth the price

 I have never had this issue with other mats.  As for weight, I can see why some would say they don’t drag it to class, but I do and have no problem with the transfer. The ends are curled at first, but that lessens quickly and is sped along by alternating your roll-up. The overall quality is very good and I can see why other say this is the last expensive mat they will likely need to buy

Yes, against hopes, It is slippery

  The mat itself is obviously of better material than my previous less expensive mats. Firmer, heavier, less slippery. I have seen some reviews that say it is TOO heavy.

.. and stability and comfort in my yoga mat is also important!  Well, I have to say, the instructors are right! I LOVE this mat. My hands do NOT slip in Down Dog, even toward the end of a strenuous yoga workout when I am a little "damp"

 The mat is comfortable in all of the poses that I have done; no issues with knees on the hard surfaces of the gym floor. Standing balance poses have become a little easier; the firmness of the Manduka mat provides stability that I was just not getting with less expensive options.  The mat itself is obviously of better material than my previous less expensive mats. Firmer, heavier, less slippery

Great Yoga Mat.  Expensive... but You Get What You Pay for!

 I asked a friend who has one ans she said hers still smells after two years. Back it went.  I finally bit the bullet and when high end, trying the Manduka through Amazon. Applying my Amazon credit card points to the purchase cut the cost in half, so that made the thought a bit easier to digest

 I expect this well keep improving over time as it gets seasoned.  Another element that increased my confidence in this purchase is the fact that everyone I speak to that has one for a while loves it and say they wear like iron -- the last mat you will need to buy. Why a 4? The slight slip and the weight. The 85' mat s a bit of a beast to cart around

Best mat I found...

 Durability: No matter how many years I have left on this Earth, I will be dead before this mat wears out. This mat and the roaches may be the only things to survive the Apocalypse. Good God, is this a durable mat. Appearance: Well, it won't make you the cool kid in yoga class; it's not pretty

 A toddler's worth of heaviness. However, the thickness really does supply extra cushioning for knees and hands. I see the younger folks in my class with their weightless Jade mats and I envy them, but those days are over for me. I can still use my thinner mat at home on top of a carpet but on a hard studio floor the thickness of this mat has been great

 But now, after using it for a few months, it's great. I don't know what happened but one day I noticed I didn't need my grippy socks anymore and I wasn't sliding around. I didn't do anything to the surface to promote stickiness but I'm guessing there was a slight film from manufacturing that eventually wore off? Weight: OMG is this a heavy mat. POUNDS of heaviness

Kind of a granny mat but it works!

 I could see this possibly being an issue with Pilates, or hot yoga, but it was not during my 30 minute practice. Here is what Manduka's info sheet says, "Fabric-like Surface Finish for slip resistance, even with light perspiration". So, I'd say no, this not a mat for a moderate to heavy perspiration practice.  :: Manduka PRO SPECS :: :: :: :: :: ~ Width: 26-1/2 in

 I can finger squeeze the Manduka PRO with some pressure and feel the resistance. With the old foam-like mat there is no resistance between the fingers. Looking at the difference in the weights, over 6 pounds between the generic mat and the Manduka PRO, says a lot. It’s not just the size that makes up the added weight it’s the density of the mat as well

 It feels tough. It is tough. The mat is dense and feels extremely firm with all my poses. I feel more grounded when using the mat compared to my old generic soft 1/4 inch thick mat

Manduka PRO Yoga Mat Review

The Yoloha Native Cork Mat is the best in our review for its excellent overall performance. It stands out for its cork-rubber blend, which qualifies it as one of the best across the metrics. It's comfortable, stable, and provides excellent traction, whether your palms are dry or sweaty. It has a closed-cell surface, which increases durability and decreases absorption, leaving the mat smelling fresh and minimizing wear and tear. It doesn't stink like rubber &#40;like other mats&#41; and is incredibly portable without sacrificing comfort. 
The biggest downside to this mat is its durability. When we used this mat on a grassy surface, the cork separated, and a large crack formed as a result. If you're looking for a great all-around mat that can handle a vigorous Vinyasa class but is still comfortable enough for a Yin practice, this is a great option. Just be sure to use it on harder surfaces.

 My problem is this: the underside is THIN and slippery. The original yoloha mat has an amazing nonslip rubber bottom that was solid and great for the practice. The native mat’s bottom is not the same material so it shifts around the floor a bit and slides up or back, and also sometimes bunches up (for instance when I’m going from right side half pigeon to left side), soI have to pull the mat back down to the floor. I thought about returning the mat but my last option would be a liforme or a lululemon and the cork just has such a great feel and smell to it and honestly the grippiness is (usually- not always) great

Ok, please note I only take hot Baptiste yoga so my review is based on the mat in a very hot room. First I purchased the original yoloha mat and when my hands slipped going up to wheel and my hands slid in down dog, I needed to return it. Enter the native mat. It has much better grip for hot yoga and I love the texture compared to the lululemon and jade mats I’ve tried

Good grip for hot yoga but slips

I absolutely loved my yoloha. Ive ysed it almost daily for maybe a year. Now, it's cracked and I'm searching for a new mat. I did love it, but for the price, it needs to last longer than a year

 Now, it's cracked and I'm searching for a new mat. I did love it, but for the price, it needs to last longer than a year.

Great but not a long term investment.

 The company’s marketing is not lying when they say it gets more grippy when wet. By the end of a 90 minute practice I can have pools of sweat on the mat and other than the grossness of it, the performance of the mat isn’t impaired. This increase in grip is to a point that I sometimes drizzle some water onto it before a class to get the grip going from the start. I have no doubt in the anti microbial properties of cork as well-I’m terrible about cleaning my mats-they’re most often biohazards-but this one doesn’t smell at all

I sweat a lot, like, a whole lot. In 4 years of practicing yoga, I’ve tried quite a few mats between my own and friends’, pretty much all the major brands, and this hands down, without a single doubt, the best there is.

I have no doubt in the anti microbial properties of cork as well-I’m terrible about cleaning my mats-they’re most often biohazards-but this one doesn’t smell at all. A quick wipe with some diluted Castile soap or a spray with the garden hose is sufficient for cleaning. If I had to be critical of the mat at all, I’d say that it’s different from others in that you have to roll it in one direction only to protect the cork upper layer’s adhesion to the backer, and you don’t want to stuff it in a locker because it can crease (after the 2 times I’ve done this, the crease has disappeared by the next day but ymmv)

Better grip when wet, not worse. Worth the money twice over, and sustainable.

 I know this mat is expensive but so far, I feel it’s worth it and have ZERO buyers remorse. It has a light odor but basically your nose needs to be on the mat to really smell it. I love the size of it. I’m 5’6 and though not tall I would still feel like I was hanging off the standard size mat during certain poses

 Plus with all this awesomeness, it’s also eco friendly! Great Job and would absolutely buy again.

 And finally, it’s beautiful in its simplicity. The colors are complimentary and not outrageous so as not to distract you during your workout or practice. Plus with all this awesomeness, it’s also eco friendly! Great Job and would absolutely buy again.

I don’t know about everyone else but the ends rolling on my other mat while I was trying to workout was always very distracting and annoying to me. That has not been a problem with this mat from the time I’ve taken it out of the box and every subsequent use (and I roll it back up after every use). And finally, it’s beautiful in its simplicity. The colors are complimentary and not outrageous so as not to distract you during your workout or practice

Buy this mat!!! You will not regret it!!!

You can find cheaper mats but this Yoloha mat is made with very grippy and absorbent materials and it feels good knowing that the mat isn't made from petro-chemicals or plastics...It's a quality item, not a throw away
