Product Description
With its denser, thicker form, unparalleled comfort and cushioning, superior non-slip fabric finish, and simple, elegant design, the Manduka® Black Mat® PRO will revolutionize your practice. It comfortably cushions your spine, hips, knees, and elbows on hard floors, while providing stability on hard or soft surfaces. It is slip resistant, yet non-sticky, even when wet from light perspiration.

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

 Buyer's Remorse August 5, 2010
Lisssa
I can't take it anymore! I slip all over the place and it's getting dangerous. I've used the mat for 12 classes and have washed it twice. I also lay it in high traffic areas with hopes this will help break it in.
When it's sticky, it's too sticky. I felt like my flesh on my toes was going to rip off when transitioning to up dog. When it's slippery, I can hold nothing! Like others have mentioned, I felt like I was practicing on an ice rink. It did teach me to be very precise and controlled with each transition because I was so afraid of hurting myself or others. So, this is a plus. It also stays in one place and NEVER wrinkles during my practice. Although, at the end of the day. I've decided to cut my loses and move on to another brand. It's just not worth the added stress.
Sorry!
Great Mat-Same as P90X "Plyometrics" Mat July 22, 2010

This is a great mat not only for yoga but also higher impact workouts. I bought two so that my husband and I could both use one when working out together. The first one I bought from Beachbody for the plyometrics workout. This is the second one I bought, this time from Amazon, and it is identical (and of course cheaper). Be sure to follow instructions for getting the initial slippery coating off and it will work great for you.
Manduka - the best July 6, 2010

If you're just starting yoga, start with a regular mat, but if you're committed, you'll want this product. Best yoga mat I've found on the market. A lot more firm, set responsive to kneeling and standing. Better grip, once you're using it, you'll never go back.
MANDUKA MAT is like Yoga on ICE - it's horrible!! July 3, 2010

I'm 6'3", and I practice yoga 3x a week. Looking for a good mat, I was recommended to get this one from my instructor.
My mat is horrible... I paid $98 and all I do is slide all over the place! I cannot hold a pose nor do I feel comfortable holding a pose because my hands slide, my feet slide.. just horrible. I called manuduka and they said "we get this a lot from our clients, and tell them all to wash the mat, scrub the mat, and give it time to break in" well, folks... I've had my mat for SEVEN months and still, I slide all over the place!
I compared my mat to my instructors mat and they are different - she has had her mat for many years, where mine is new, the manufacturing of the manduka mat has changed, and the mat that I have is HORRIBLE!!! Manduka gave me a bag and a cloth that I can use on top of my mat because of the inconvienence, but when my cloth is dirty and I do not have it in class with me, I slip and slide all over the damn thing. it's not worth the furstration, time, or energy! DO NOT BUY THIS MAT!!! And if you do, get ready to slip all over the place!
Manduka, you once had a nice mat (my instructors old one is fabulous) but that mat I bought in 10/2009 IS HORRIBLE!!!! I'm sick of hearing "You have to wait for it to break in" - screw that, it should be ready to go for $98! why should I have to wait??
DO NOT BUY THIS MAT
