Manduka PRO Yoga Mat

Manduka's PRO Series mats are the result of over 20 years of meticulous design and development, ensuring unparalleled performance. The ultra-dense cushioning provides superior joint protection and comfort, making them a favorite among yoga enthusiasts, Pilates aficionados, and fitness experts alike.

The legendary Black Mat PRO, formerly known as the Black Mat, has been celebrated for 12 years as one of the world's finest yoga mats. Its denser, thicker construction, unmatched comfort and cushioning, superior non-slip fabric-like finish, and elegant design have revolutionized yoga practice. Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee, the Black Mat PRO is the mat of choice for yoga teachers and practitioners of all levels who value their practice and the environment.

The proprietary dot-pattern bottom of the Black Mat PRO resists sliding and is engineered for long-lasting use with high-quality materials that won't peel, flake, or fade. The fabric-like surface finish offers superior slip-resistance, even with light perspiration. This longevity and Manduka's Lifetime Guarantee reduce consumption and landfill waste by guarding against wear and tear.

The Black Mat PRO is certified safe for human contact by OEKO-TEX, an environmental certification agency in Europe for the textile industry. Manduka's commitment to sustainability is evident, as the PRO series mats are designed to last a lifetime (or two), curbing the amount of PVC mats that enter landfills and reducing overall mat consumption. Additionally, the manufacturing process ensures no toxic emissions are released into the atmosphere.

To maintain the mat's performance, Manduka recommends using their Mat Renew or any non-solvent household cleaner and a damp cloth or sponge. The mat should be hung to dry in the sunshine, as putting it in the washing machine may damage the mat and the machine. For storage, the Black Mat PRO should be rolled with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards to keep the corners flat during practice.

Breaking in the Black Mat PRO is a straightforward process. The surface texture improves with regular use, and customers have found that the best way to break it in is through daily practice. Another method is to sprinkle coarse sea salt over the mat, scrub it down with a sponge, and air-dry it in the sunshine.
