Manduka Mat – Best yoga mat of all time

★★★★★ (208 Reviews)
The Manduka Mat is the Rolls-Royce of yoga mats – it’s heavy, long, thick and extremely durable. This mat will last for years, it’s an excellent investment worthy of any serious practitioner. The cushioning, slip resistance and floor grip are all well above average if not perfect. The only downsides of this mat are its weight and size. It’s perfect for home practice or to keep in a studio locker but not for carrying around, especially in public transportation.
