Manduka PROlite Yoga Mat - 4.7mm | Lifetime Durability | Hygienic Construction | Teacher Approved

I’ve owned a Manduka Pro Lite for years and it’s still in perfect condition, hands down the best mat I’ve ever used. That kind of durability is rare. I picked up a second one specifically for studio practice, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s impressively lightweight while still being thick, supportive, and super comfortable for every pose. Sleek look, outstanding performance, and built to last. Definitely worth the money. Five stars for design, function, and durability - Manduka absolutely delivers.

Excellent top quality yoga mat. I bought this mat because I needed something more durable and something that won’t absorb sweat and is easy to clean (note the closed-cell construction). I compared this with the Manduka PRO yoga mat (the is the PROlite version) and I like this because it’s a bit lighter and slightly smaller and easy to carry to class. It has a lifetime guarantee and I can see why. The material is not cheap foamy material. I don’t know if it’s rubber, but it feels like thick rubber sort of. I plan to use and keep this for a long time. Good investment! Worth the extra money!!!

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!!

Been using this mat exclusively and daily for about 6mos. A different design than the usual yoga mat. Very dense with excellent grip. Cushions firmly without being too soft. Very sturdy and heavier than other mats - a much appreciated feature. No residual smell. Cleans very easily. A bit more expensive but after using it, I find it worth the price. I anticipate it will last a long time.

This yoga mat has great grip, cushioning, stability and a nice design. It has yet to develop any smell with consistent cleaning after use giving 4 stars instead of 5 because this takes forever to break in. I'm paying a lot of money for something that requires me to "rub course sea salt to remove the factory film" that makes it extremely slippery at first. Once broken in, it is among the best Yoga mat's.

The mat is definitely sturdy, non slip and easy to roll up and not too heavy to carry

ok, ahí le va pa quién le sirva. Tiene dos semanas desde que llegó mi tapete. En cuanto a la entrega, me llegó un día antes de lo esperado, súper bien xq no pague envío. En cuanto al precio, no creo que sea muy caro para el uso que le doy. En cuanto al tapete: Desde que lo extendí me agradó el color, es muy bonito. Le puse sal tal como lo indican las instrucciones y lo tendí al sol solo un ratito (xq ha estado lloviendo), lo dejé así poco más de un día, exfoliándolo ligeramente cada tanto con la sal que le había puesto. Lo limpié con el trapo húmedo y listo! A partir del día 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 calaría el piso y no; pero los primeros días se sentía un poco resbaloso con el sudor (a mi me sudan las manos), no en exceso, pero sí algo a considerar. Esta última semana, he hecho además Ashtanga, el primer día lo usé con bastante precaución x lo resbaloso q lo había sentido pero cuál ha sido mi sorpresa? con el paso de los días, 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 tenía un tapete (de los económicos) y en la shala tmb había usado de otros que se desmoronaban con el paso de los pies, o constantemente me resbalaba en ellos y así; ahora comparándolos con éste, definitivamente se siente la calidad del material y me sorprende que aún estado bastante sudado el asunto, no me resbalo. Tenía planeado hacerle más "exfoliaciones" x los comentarios que había visto, pero para mi, así esta bien.... Saludos!

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.

Ho fatto una ricerca molto accurata, lunga e approfondita tra vari brand materiali colori misure grammature recensioni, prima di sceglierlo. È un tappetino eccezionale giusto peso anche in caso di trasporto, lo spessore ammortizza in modo perfetto i punti sensibili del corpo durante la tensione o pressione in certe posizioni, e grippa bene anche con le estremità un po' umide. Odore delicato stupendo, indeformabile, si lava e asciuga con facilità, la texture mat è molto molto cool, piacevole al tatto e alla vista. Il colore si integra con le piante, il verde negli ambienti interni ed esterni. La tonalità fresca e delicata accampa lo sguardo durante la pratica, come un letto di salvia. Il prezzo è assolutamente giustificato.

Diese Matte ist rutschig! Ich habe sie als Nachfolgerin meiner alten Manduka-Matte gekauft und bin von der Qualität enttäuscht. Trotz der empfohlenen Maßnahmen wie Meersalz streuen und einwirken lassen, ist die Matte weiterhin rutschig. Von einer Pro-Serie und das auf dem Markt, bei der es so viele Alternativen gibt, habe ich das nicht erwartet. Um der Marke Manduka gerecht zu bleiben, möchte ich erwähnen, dass meine alte Matte mir viele Jahre lang gut gedient hat.
