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 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 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. --Cristina Vaamonde
Product Description
The Manduka Mat (a.k.a. "The Black Mat" in some yoga circles) is the top-of-the-line yoga mat on the market today. It is extremely durable, dense, and will last about a century (rough estimate!) before it ever starts to break down. The fact that these mats lasts so incredibly long means that very few of them will see a landfill, making them a true eco-mat. Plus, the Manduka Mat is made from eco-certified PVC, which means that they are manufactured in a manner which ensures that PVC is not released into the atmosphere. The Manduka Mat is thick without being "spongy". Its thickness works to cushion your elbows, knees, and spine from the hard floor, while its firmness supports you in balance poses. Its durability is attested to by its weight (a hefty 7 pounds). Due to its weight, the Manduka is also ideal for home practice on carpet - it will sit solidly in place without bunching or moving around. Available in black. 1/4" x 26" x 71" (2" wider and 3" longer than a standard yoga mat)

 Great yoga mat! August 31, 2008
I've practiced yoga for only a little over a year, five mornings a week. Until purchasing the Manduka, I was using one of those thin, inexpensive yoga mats. I first became aware of these Manduka mats through my yoga instructor. I finally decided to purchase one once our classes were held outdoors, on a cement surface. This new mat is truly a great product. It's much thicker and provides cushion and support. Although there were cleaning instructions provided to get rid of the initial rubber smell, I admit that I did nothing. Just with use, the smell quickly wore off. I highly recommend this mat to anyone practicing yoga regularly. The difference is remarkable. My hands don't slip and the mat doesn't move at all. Although pricey, it's well worth the investment if you have more than a passing interest in yoga.
Perfect August 30, 2008
After letting the mat air out - as suggested on the label accompanying the mat - it has been absolutely perfect for my Yoga practice. I would never use any other type or brand of mat. Love the extra length and width and thickness as well. Well worth the price.
Manduka Yoga BlackMat August 27, 2008
This mat was delivered within a few days with free shipping and an excellent price. I am very pleased. The mat is the same 1/4 inch depth as my other mat, however the material is superior, as it provides a firmer support and cushion of my knees, hands, feet and spine. I would recommend this mat and Amazon to anyone. I have always received exceptional service with Amazon.

 COULD BE STICKIER July 26, 2008
I am enjoying this new mat. I have tried putting it in the sun to make it stickier, but maybe I have not done it enough times. The smell did not bother me, I clean it with a lavender scented non toxic cleanser. I like that it is a bit longer, I almost wish I would have got the 81". I didn't because I read it was too heavy, and I didn't want to get in anyone's way in Yoga class! It would have been fine. This one is great too! I do slip a little.
