MandukaBegin Yoga Mat - Perfect for Beginners in Yoga & Pilates, Women and Men, 5mm Thick, Reversible, 68 inch (172cm)

Nice grip and light weight

Excellent quality and cost benefit.

Yoga mats are one of those items where the principle "Don't throw good money after bad" applies. Cheap yoga mats are toxic, they don't last long, they stretch, they lose their grip quickly, and many many of them are toxic. With yoga mats, spend the money and get the best you can.The last yoga mat I had which was this good was from Prana, at was even more expensive, and I bought it fourteen years ago. The Manduka feels just as good as the Prana, is made from similar materials, and I expect it'll last at least a decade. I'm happy with this one.

The quality of this yoga mat is awesome. I absolutely love it. It's totally different from one you'd pick up at a big box store. I also found the color to be accurate compared to the picture. However, I'm disappointed with the length. I'm 5'3" and sometimes wish the mat were longer. I'd stick with this brand and look for a longer version.

This is the first "quality" mat that I've bought since I started my yoga journey 10 years ago. I usually use the cheap mats from TJMaxx or Ross. Since the COVID-19 quarantine, I've had to practice yoga a couple of times a week at home. I am practicing on carpet since my tv is in the living room (with carpet). The mat is thick enough so that I won't slide around on the carpet. It also has some stickiness to it, so that my dry feet won't slide off the mat. For yoga, it is important to have a mat with a good grip, otherwise, you cannot stretch or have enough balance. Overall. this mat seems sturdy and the foam looks like it will hold and not break off. Amazon has the best price, as I looked on other websites, they were $10 more.

I purchased this mat because I wanted something light and readily available to me as I planned on using it in the studio. Also, I enjoy being outdoors and I thought this would serve me some purpose for outdoor yoga. Wrong. This mat is very slippery in down dog which seems to be common in the reviews. That is not an exaggeration and you will slip plenty. Aside from it being so slippery, it’s a great mat and made very well. However, I would not recommend this mat for Vinyasa, power, or hot yoga because you will ship and you will have a miserable time in class.If you’re looking for a budget mat, there are plenty of other options and I would not recommend this mat at all. If you’ve already ordered it and don’t plan on returning it, I find that this mat is great for yin and restorative yoga classes. I’ve also used this mat for Pilates and it gets the job done alright. I’ve decided on the 3/5 star rating only because I’ve managed to find some use for this mat and I practice yin quite often.Again, if you plan on doing Vinyasa, power, or hot yoga, do not buy this mat because you will be slipping left and right with the tiniest amount of sweat. If you’re looking for a budget mat, do not buy. I would only recommend using this mat for restorative and yin yoga, and mat Pilates. It’s honestly a very beautiful mat and well made, but it’s just not good. I hope this helps.

I was hesitant to buy another yoga mat because do many smelled terrible. Thankfully that is not the case with this one. I did not notice any odor, and I'm very sensitive to them. The yoga mat is great. My only complaint is I can't get into the habit of using it regularly haha

This mat is awesome. No chemical smell, not slippery, lays flat and has the perfect amount of cushion for yoga and floor exercises. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Es perfecto para practicar Yoga, no se desliza, el tamaño es ideal, se ve de muy buena calidad, es la marca que me sugirieron

Grosor perfecto con muy buena amortiguación, lo único que a mi parecer le falta, es un poquito más de agarre.

Un tapis très qualitatif pour du yoga vinyasa, du renforcement musculaire... Je n'ai pas encore réussi à glisser dessus même en transpirant à grosses gouttes.Une étoile en moins car je trouve qu'ils auraient quand même pu joindre les attaches du tapis au colis...

Había leído sobre la textura y el aroma. La verdad me gustó porque el anterior que tenía era grueso y me resbalaba .No me parece que tenga olor fuerte y la textura me gustó mucho es como un silicón/latex con un texturizado que se siente "gomoso" , no te resbalas.

Used to practice on outdoor ground and this mat was thick enough to disperse lumps and bumps .
