Customer Reviews manduka PRO Yoga Mat 71"

I bought this mat as a gift for my mother. She is constantly complaining that no mat is sticky enough for her + she loves thicker mats. Needless to say, she LOVES this mat. It's very sticky, just as she wanted and it's perfectly thick. While it is a heavy mat, we bought her a shoulder bag for it... so toting it around is no problem. Great buy, highly recommend... plus the coloring is really neat.

My yoga instructor suggested this mat. It is well made, great color, perfect thickness and does not smell. It is the most comfortable mat I ever had!

I've been able to use this mat several times since receiving it, and it's great! I've found the mat to be sticky, which is what I was looking for...though I do not do hot yoga classes.

Love my new yoga mat! I have the prettiest mat in class. Highly recommend. No plastic smell. Namaste!

Bought it for my daughter -she uses it for yoga classes every day and she is very happy with it.

I purchased the pro series yoga mat. Bought on recommendation of a friend for its thickness and durability.

Using for Ashtanga yoga practice. Super soft and grippy.

Best mat I've ever owned hands down! Still breaking her in, which is why she's laying in my kitchen most of the time. My whole family gets use of her and feels her under their toes!

Beautiful color (slightly shimmery) and extremely durable.

Been using my new mat for about a month and I'm so far really happy with it! I was worried about the breaking in process but found it worked great for me right away. If other reviews are right and the mat just gets better with time and use, then I know this may will be a keeper. It's definitely a heavy mat but I'm ok with this for the durability and stability I get in class with it. I usually do heated power vinyasa classes with my mat, if you are a heavy sweater then it may get slippery but so far even with my amount of sweat it's doesn't get bad.

Years ago I bought a manduka pro mat and tried it out at my hot yoga studio. I remember feeling like I had no grip on the mat and feeling like I was going to fall out of my poses. So I returned the mat and went with another mat. I stopped practicing yoga for about a year and half and recently started going to my studio again and I noticed I felt pain in a lot of poses on my mat. There wasn't enough cushion, and it sometimes felt like to mat was too grippy. I decided I wanted a different mat and started looking for mats that offered a lot of cushion. My search brought me back to the Manduka pro mat. I ordered the Sea Star mat and it's a beautiful as it looks online. The real test came at my hot yoga studio though, I was worried I wouldn't have enough grip. To my delight, the manduka pro mat had plenty of grip for me. I didn't do any pre-treatment of the mat, I used it fresh from it's packaging. I didn't feel like I was going to fall out of my poses and there wasn't too much grip. Also the cushion on this is amazing, I've always felt pain when doing poses that had one knee on the ground, but on my first day with this mat I had no pain. I was amazed! I'm so happy I bought this mat, I was considering stopping my yoga practice because of the pain. Now that I have a mat that feels great to practice on, I'm thinking about practicing more. I didn't realize how much my old mat was holding me back.

I've been using this mat for about a month now and am thoroughly impressed! The larger size is perfect for me (about 6'1") and really allows you to take up space comfortably. It's a dense mat and has some weight to it, which is perfect as a solid foundation for your practice. It's quite grippy by itself, but as Manduka recommends, I'd definitely pair it with a Yogitoes towel for hot yoga or anytime you sweat a lot. This particular color looks amazing too! :)

I got this mat about a year ago and it's still my go to mat. I can use the mat alone or with the equa towel in my hot practice. I tried a mat from a different company last month and immediately went back to the Pro. So comfortable and durable!

I purchased this yoga mat several months ago after having a rough time with several cheap mats I had purchased from Target. Everyone at my fitness studio was using Manduka and convinced me to give them a go! I am so in love with this product. I use my Manduka mat every single day and I love how it feels so luxurious, stable, doesn't allow me to slip, and is of the best quality! I love it so much I bought another one a few weeks ago when it was on sale!

For the person who is accustomed to nothing but the best, this is your mat!! This mat is durable, holds up for both the yin and power yoga clases. Easy to clean!

I tried a friend's Pro mat and bought one. I love it! But, it is heavy to carry around to all the classes I teach and attend. So, I bought the Pro-lite. I really like the Pro-lite mat, too. It's great for bringing to classes. But, I really love my Pro mat at home! I totally recommend this duo. :)

I love my Manduka Pro mat. Takes a while to break in but that's because of how well it's made. My joints always feel comfortable on this mat!

Love this mat, so thick and well-cushioned, providing great support for me knees. Never slips when I'm doing poses either. Would buy it again and again !

This is my third Manduka pro mat. I bought my first one 15 years ago and it has held up to the test of time. I'm a yoga teacher and I always tell my students Manduka makes the best mats don't buy anything else!

Very happy with the quality of the mat. Unfortunately did not get the colour I ordered but I guess that depends on current stock. Mat is heavy, non-slip and overall looks like it is going to last me forever. I do practice yoga every day and was looking for permanent option when it comes to mats. I went through so many different ones and none of them last. My cats are sharpening their claws on them now

This is by far my favorite mat. As an instructor, I lead/take well over 10hours a week in classes. Having a great mat that protects my knees is super important. I pair this with a yogitoes towel to ensure no sliding around. Would definitely recommend

Bought this to replace my first, which I'd had for about 4 years of almost daily practice with basically no evidence of wear and tear. Using the suggested breaking in method -- salt overnight -- this mat, in Odyssey Blue, has broken in very quickly. Glad to be back on my Manduka -- especially love the Pro for the extra width, which is perfect for broad-shouldered yogis.

This is a very nice mat for daily use. Well made, pretty color. A bit heavy to tote around. I use it for my daily home practice.

I purchased this mat for home use. I have a hardwood floor in my practice space and I got the thick cozy feel that I was hoping from this mat. It is heavy, thick and heavy, but the cushion is perfect. The color is soothing. Add the lifetime warranty and environmental commitment and it makes this mat beautiful in every way.
