As someone who practices yoga on a regular basis, I love a good flow to relax my mind and body. And while you don’t need too much gear to start practicing, having a high-quality mat is definitely important. You want something that’s supportive for your joints, non-slip for your safety and above all else, sustainably made. So when I saw the Manduka Pro Mat on sale for 29% off, I was beyond excited.
The Manduka Pro Mat is handmade responsibly in an emissions-free German facility from long-lasting, latex-free PVC. Providing high-density cushioning, each one measures 6 millimeters high for joint protection, stability and support. Its non-slip grip lets you flow without sticking or slipping. And although it may take a little time to break in, it’s well-worth the wait.
Required care is pretty minimal. The mat’s closed-cell structure helps keep moisture out, to prevent mold and odor. However, the brand offers a Yoga Mat Wash and Refresh spray, as well as a botanical cleaner. Otherwise, you can wipe it down with a mix of water and white vinegar after just a few uses, and it’ll be good as new.
The Manduka mat boasts an average 4.5 out of 5-star rating from more than 8,000 customers on Amazon, with most praising its quality and comfort. “This is a thick mat and a little on the heavier side. Very little slipping, and no unpleasant smell,” one reviewer says. “I love the color, and even though it’s heavier than I’d like, it makes up for it in functionality and performance. It lays flat on first use, is easy to clean and is an all around great mat! It’s worth the investment!”
At 29% off, the price of the Manduka Pro mat in the color Black Sage comes down from $160 to just $113. So if you’re in the market for a new mat to support your practice, this is a sale you won’t want to miss.
