Is the Manduka PRO worth it?
The Manduka PRO Yoga Mat, like yoga itself, is an exercise in patience and a labor of love. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to break it in, the PRO may be the last yoga mat you ever buy—and that’s definitely worth a $120 price tag.
Is Manduka PRO slippery?
Yes, it’s a little slippery, to begin with. This is because during the manufacturing process of Manduka PRO mats, a thin, protective layer of film is formed on the top surface.
What are the differences between different types of Manduka mat?

How long does Manduka Pro last?
approximately 10 years
Since the PRO Extra Large is a multi-purpose mat, it is not included under the Lifetime Guarantee. The lifetime of the mat is approximately 10 years of regular use when loved and cared for. Should a PRO™ mat wear out past its useful life from regular use under normal conditions, we will replace the product.
Why do you salt a Manduka mat?
I’d heard that Manduka mats need a little “break-in” time when you first buy them because they’re a little slippery. While this can be achieved through a few months of regular use, Manduka recommends using sea salt to speed up the process.
What size Manduka mat should I get?
Manduka Yoga Mat Lengths For most people, a 71” yoga mat is plenty. Both the PROlite and PRO come in 71” sizes. If you’re over 6ft tall (183cm) or if you want a little extra space I recommend a mat longer than 71″.

What does salting a yoga mat do?
Try a salt scrub: Giving your new mat an “exfoliating” treatment can help break down the initial layer and help you find stability in poses. Sprinkle your mat with a mix of sea salt and warm water, and either wipe it down with a stiff-bristled brush (if you have one) or a cotton washcloth.
Does Manduka have lifetime warranty?
