 Great Mat-Same as P90X "Plyometrics" MatJul 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 bestJul 06, 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!!Jul 03, 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
Wow. I hope to be able to afford one next year!Jun 27, 2010
I read a review of this great mat last year when I needed a mat for yoga and pilates. As a recent college grad, I've hardly got extra cash. Last weekend I went to get some blocks from the mat room at the gym and what did I see? A Manduka mat! I could hardly catch my breath; it must have belonged to an instructor who'd forgotten it. I grabbed the mat and proceeded to have an incredible session. The mat was cushioned without being soft (no need for a blanket underneath your knees), firm without being hard, and heavy, so that the mat lay flat the whole time. I genuinely can't wait to be able to buy the mat myself in a year or two!

I would never buy a black mat.Jun 22, 2010
because it looks too industrial.Its like working out on a big piece of gasket material. It would not give me peace of mind. Someone on Amazon needs to sell the "Dark Cherry" model.
