MandukaPRO Yoga Mat - Teacher Recommended, Non-Slip Textured 6mm Ultra-Dense, Hot Yoga Workout, Studio at Home Pilates

Huge fan of this mat. I got the 85" inch and the extra length is well worth it. Very stable, well constructed, plenty of cusion for a large male, and easy to clean/maintain. Like many, I found it to be slick when new, so I took an unconventional approach that has worked excellent for me.How I made it sticky (this WILL void the warranty though):1: Get a green abrasive pad, like what you would use for dishes2: Get some AJAX/Comet/BarKeepers Friend (I used Comet because thats what I had on hand)3: A small bucket of water4: Apply a little bit of AJAX/Comet/BarKeepers Friend onto the yoga mat5: Dip the abrasive pad into the water and splash a little water on the yoga mat6: Gently scrub the entire yoga mat with the abrasive pad, water, and AJAX/Comet/BarKeepers Friend, it will suds up a bit which is normal.7: When done, rinse very well with fresh water - it takes multiple rinses, so be thorough.8: Wipe dry, and then let it fully air drySome notes/tips (important):1: Less is more. Don't go crazy with the AJAX/Comet/BarKeepers Friend. Start small, and after the first round, if you feel it needs a little more, then do so.2: When scrubbing, go gently. Don't bear down super hard or put in a ton of elbow grease. Use a little pressure. The point here is to remove any coating and gently scuff the surface, NOT remove material. Again, if it needs a little more, you can go back for another round.That's about it. Once I did this, rinsed it, wiped it down and let it thoroughly dry, my mat was perfect. I've been using it regularly for the past few months and it continues to feel plenty grippy. I have the black mat, and it still looks/feels like new too, no signs of degradation or anything like that. This worked for me, but just remember to go gently, don't overdo it, and this WILL void the warranty. I didn't care about warranty because its very well build and I can tell this will last me a very, very long time. If the time does come for a new one, I'll definately be doing this procedure again.

This yoga mat is extra long, super long - it’s awesome! I always end up off the mat And on to the dirty floor while I’m teaching or practicing. This should definitely solve that problem! Also, this mat won’t slide at all due to its grippers on the bottom! It’s soft yet very firm, a section of hygienic floor just for me (I call it). I am so excited to teach my first class with it in the next two days! I did some home practice with it and it was awesome, my hands don’t slip in Downward-Facing Dog or anything. Definitely recommend to the serious yogi or yoga professional.

The media could not be loaded. A year ago i got a Prolite manduka mat (Indulge purple color). A Beautiful mat. But my cat scratched all the surface, i was so sad because manduka is not cheap. This Year I Was able To Save Money To Get The pro manduka mat. I love this size, 215 cm long!! I was surprised by the good price. Its also 6mm thick. I just love so much this mat. Hope i can save to get another the one my cat scratched. Btw. I learned how to cut her nails.!

I am 6’2” and the length of this mat is perfect for yoga and the thickness of the mat keeps the knees fairly well padded. It is a heavy mat to carry in and out of the yoga studio but it’s well worth it. I would buy this mat again!

I have used numerous brands and types of Yoga mats. Manduka makes a great product. It is indestructible and certainly worth the premium one pays over other Yoga mats.For someone that is 5 ft 11 in or taller the Manduka Pro Extra Long is without a doubt the mat you should oder. It is absolutely essential to do the salt treatment prior to use. My only disappointment is toward myself - why did I wait so long in buying the Manduka mat? For anyone that is serious about their Yoga practice - this is the gold standard of mats.

Finally!!! A mat for tall people! I have struggled with average mats and now I will never go back!! I am 6'1 and this mat gives me xtra room to move about.....I love it! I have not tried it in a hot yoga class yet, but I already LOVE the feel of the mat! There is no slipping.....it grips your hands/feet perfectly! You should expect a slight "break-in" period but it didn't take many times on the mat for it to feel solid!

It’s the best yoga mat - hands down! This is my second one. I had my previous one for 15 years until my son “borrowed” it. It still looked new. It’s heavy, but I love it!

The mat is highly likely to be counterfeit: its weight is only 4kg, while the authentic one should weigh 4.3kg; the width is also slightly shorter than the authentic ones.
