Customer Reviews manduka GRP 6mm 71" Yoga Mat

I have had this GRP Hot yoga mat for almost one month. I hated my previous mat + towel I slipped all over the mat during hot flow yoga or the towel would jumble up on me. Now I am completely slip free can do all the poses and I do NOT slip, even when I am completely drenched. The mat just simply soaks up the sweat and keeps working. I read previous reviews and was skeptical, but decided to try it anyway because I was so frustrated with my previous mat. This mat Rocks it !!! I bought a towel to use with it but have not used it yet in over 15 sessions.

This yoga mat is the best mat I have ever used. It is expensive but it represents good value for money. I am delighted with it.

Perfect for super sweaty workouts!! Bwst Grip mat ever!

All the other mats I've owned get so slippery during hot yoga. Not only does this mat provides more padding and its the best when it comes to sweat! No slipping!!

Beautiful mat very soft nd dense i dont feel any pain. Very good in absorbing sweat no more slipping and no more mat towel i m glad i bought it. Thankyoi

The title says it all. When exercising I tend to sweat more than the average person. Of course mat slippage is the worst when learning new poses or trying to complete an advanced pose. So I've have 3 different mats just this year alone claiming to non slip and until tried the GRP Mat I was super frustrated and dissatisfied. The GRP MAT Put up so the rest can now shut up. When they say GRP it GRP's. Well done !!

This mat is superb. It absorbs sweat and gets stickier the more you sweat. While there is a smell to it, it is bearable and I expect it to go away over time.

Was getting tired of using the yoga towel so when I read about this mat, I was super excited .. so far (two weeks), and I love it .. heavy mat which isn't too bad but I ride my bike 4 miles to yoga so I have just adjusted to resting it on my bike basket ..

After owning nearly every other mat imaginable, I have finally found the perfect mat! It maintains grip even during the sweatiest practice, it doesn't ever bunch up or shift, it has an ideal type and amount cushion, it is light enough to carry walking to the studio, yet still feels nice and robust during practice! This is the Grail mat..! Thank you, Manduka!

This mat is fantastic. I no longer need to worry or be distracted by slipping during my hot yoga practice. Only drawback is it's a little heavy to carry to class.

I bought my GRP mat about 2 months ago & absolutely my all time favorite mat!! The grip is awesome & stays in place thru my entire practice!

This yoga mat is extra firm, super grippy and non-slip. Perfect for my very intense Ashtanga practice. I probably would not recommend this particular mat to a casual yoga practitioner - its more mat than the average person needs.

I bought this mat a month ago and it is amazing. Makes yoga much more enjoyable now that I'm not distracted by sliding or a towel.

By bar far best mat I have found in terms of retaining grip when moist/wet yet not being so sticky it inhbits transtions (e.g flipping toes when going from urdhva mukha svanasana to adho mukha svanasana)

I use the GRP mat in hot yoga. It works exactly as advertised. Sweat does not pool up and becomes more grippy when wet. Great feel; both dry and after getting wet from a hot workout. Grippy, without being so sticky that it's uncomfortable. With a four days a week training schedule I have a lot less laundry since eliminating the towel.

It's super hard for me to find a mat that I don't slip on with hot yoga and being so slippery. This mat doesn't let you slide all over even at the end of class you can still grip easily without a towel underneath you. Love it !

As an instructor of hot classes, I was curious to try this mat - and was so impressed! Since purchasing this about a month ago, I've put it through the ringer in super sweaty classes, and it has overdelivered. The grippiness is phenomenal, and I've felt incredibly stable throughout my practice on this mat. Highly recommend for sweaty classes.

I have a Manduka Pro that I love, but even when I'm not super sweaty my hands will slide in down dog if I don't use a towel. I got this mat to try to cut down on laundry lol. The traction and stick is great. My only "complaint" is the thickness of the mat in poses like camel. Highly recommend!!

So exciting to have GRP mat for hot yoga - it is amazing! I no longer need to practice on a towel on top of my other mat. I move, I flow, I balance, I sweat and I stay in place without slipping - Love this mat! A must own.

I usually do hot yoga and I'm a very sweaty person. It's usually difficult for me to hold my grip on my mats, even with a towel. The GRP has changed my life. Sometimes it's too grippy but it makes me feel safe and secure and it's given me more confidence in my practice

I bought this mat and i absolutely love it, it is great for hot yoga classes it does what it says

I love this mat. It totally changed my hot yoga experience for the better.

I had a Pro that I was reluctant to part with but let me tell you this may is the bomb digity! I sweat A LOT and I never slide around on this mat, no need for a towel.

Feels slick to the touch, but add a little sweat and I haven't yet slipped. I seat a good amount. Previously used ekolite with a yogi toes towel on top of it but was unhappy with that combo for a few reasons. Wanted a single mat to carry and this fits my needs!
