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

 HATE this expensive mat! November 19, 2009
K. Mooney
This mat is a ridiculous rip off! I cannot even use it as it is way too slippery. I have tried everything suggested( scrubbing, sanding, etc.) and nothing works. Don't waste your money.
Not Sticky enough October 16, 2009

So I went with the buzz and got myself a manduka Pro. I know a lot of people say it's awesome but I still don't get why. I have been washing it multiple times the way it says on the instructions and after two months - I'm still slipping! I don't care if it's going to last me a lifetime if it means every time I am trying to concentrate on my pose- I get distracted by me slipping. I am getting used to putting another basic mat on top of this manduka - just to get by my class. Is this why I spent almost $100? To put another cheap mat on top of the "holy grail" of mats? So, no- I don't think it's worth the price because the one thing a mat cannot have is that it let's you slip.

I love the mat. The only small problem I had with it was waiting for the film to wear off. I tried washing it off as the directions suggested but it only helped a little bit. After about five or six yoga classes, it finally wore off.

Very Stick Mat September 25, 2009

I bought this Mat for my P90x routine. I had no prior experience with yoga but read that this was a good mat. Upon receipt, the mat has a REALLY funky smell...no doubt due to it's rubber-makeup. It made my entire bedroom smell like rubber for several days.
After the smell subsided and I began to use the mat, I realized quickly how important it was to have a sticky mat. This mat is very very sticky to the touch and prevents slipping even when I have sweaty palms. I wish the mat was a little wider and longer and I would like to use it to absorb shock when I do other exercises such as plyometrics and kenpo.
All in all I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I would note that this is a very heavy mat and not one you would want to lug around while traveling or back and forth to the gym or yoga studio...I would leave this one in place at home (or at the office) and purchase a lighter mat for traveling, vacation, or the lake house.
