With its dense, thick form, ahead-of-the pack comfort and cushioning, and non-slip finish, the Manduka Pro Yoga Mat is like a luxury sedan driving 100mph on the highway. Smooth, baby, smooth. However, you are moving nowhere except deeper into your practice. The closed-cell surface helps to keep moisture and sweat out, so your mat isn't a breeding ground for bacteria. And the dot-pattern bottom resists sliding to round out the luxurious features of this perfect rectangle. Manduka is yogi-focused and designed by yogis to ensure all of their products are loved and functional. The brand has a deep focus for sustainability and are known for their LiveOn program, where they recycle used mats.
