 I <3 this mat! July 2, 2008
I bought this mat about a year and a half ago and love it! It is very thick, which makes it much more comfortable than thinner mats. It is also very sturdy, which makes it a lot better for balancing poses than the typical squishier yoga mats. I was traveling last week and had to use a mat at the studio--the squishiness and thinness of the mat made my feet hurt a lot! I bought my boyfriend the purple travel one and he liked it, but thought it was too short so then I bought him the 85-inch black mat and he loves it!
Best mat ever June 9, 2008
Simply the best mat I have ever practiced on. You don't slip, though I do use yoga toes after the first half hour.
A great mat for a serious yoga practice. June 4, 2008
I have never used a better mat. The "Manduka Black Mat" is stable, well made and offers a solid base on carpet and hard floors. After going through several "ECO" mats, I have come to the realization that it is better to own a mat that will last forever than to continually waste precious resources on mats that end up in the landfill after several months.
Awesome Mat May 29, 2008
Look no further for a great mat. This one is sticky and longer and wider than most mats. It is heavy, but well worth it in poses as the thickness is greatly appreciated!
Finally! May 13, 2008
I debated about this mat for some time. I'm an avid practitioner, and in five years of religious practice, the Manduka mat was my fourth mat purchased. I started with a Prana mat that went bald around the hands and feet positions for down dog. Then, i went to the lululemon mat, which was great at first, but then just lost its traction and became very slippery, even with the yogitoes. My next mat was the Jade Harmony mat, which was my favorite, until the potent natural rubber smell just became distracting, and it too started shedding little rubber pieces and got threadbare in spots. With the Manduka, there was an immediate difference. It never bunches up and gets stickier with use. Why wouldn't you want a mat that is guaranteed for two lifetimes? You can put it in your will.
