From The Heart
I finally found a mat that I love. My Manduka mat allows me to truly connect with what it is important “My yoga practice."

use & care
To Store: Roll your Black Mat PRO with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards. This keeps the corners of the mat flat when practicing.
To Break In: The surface texture of the Black Mat PRO improves with use. Our customers have found that the best way to “break in” their mat is to use it on a daily basis. Another trick is to sprinkle coarse sea salt over your mat, scrub it down with a sponge, and air dry in the sunshine.
To Clean: We recommend using Manduka Mat Renew or any non-solvent household cleaner and a damp cloth or sponge. Hang to dry in the sunshine. DO NOT put your mat in the washing machine- it may break the machine and ruin your mat!

Got it, I love it! although it is heavier than the PurpleLite...I do love its smooth surface, nonslip and firm, yet cushioned...I love it...can't wait to show it off! I don't think I have even seen any at the studio yet! I'll be sure to send folks your way.
The Black Mat® PRO is awesome. It’s like the ultimate black dress. You never have to worry that it might ride up or bunch up on you. You don’t have to think about it. To me, the Black Mat® PRO is an affordable luxury. I’ve had other yoga mats, but I tell everyone I know to try the Black Mat® PRO. It puts other mats to shame.
I was always into bodybuilding and running. I have just recently added Yoga as part of my daily workout routine. being new to Yoga, (three months) I started with a basic mat I acquired at a local sporting goods store. When I made the purchase of your Black Mat® PRO all I can say is that it made all the difference in the world! No folds, bends or bunching. The mat is easy to clean and now I would not part with it!
For my personal practice, my Manduka mat has been my best friend. The mat gives me a combination of stability and cushion that makes any surface (from concrete to carpeting) a joy to practice on. And, it has staying power - I've been using the same mat for years, and it's still perfect! To any serious student of yoga, or people with ankle or wrist issues, I recommend that they get a Manduka mat.
Been on this mat for 10 years now....it just keeps ticking
This is the first and last yoga mat you will ever need. It's my personal portable yoga studio.
I absolutely LOVE my Manduka Black Mat PRO and eQua towel. I practice Bikram yoga regularly and can't imagine using any other mat! The mat is thick and firm and supports me in all of my poses. My towel provides a no slip surface that absorbs all of my sweat. Thanks for your amazing products. I’ll never use anything but Manduka!
My Manduka Black Mat has been the biggest and most beneficial investment I've made in my life since I found out about Yoga. Nothing beats the Black Mat.
Some time ago I bought one of your signature mats. Everyone who already has one told me how fantastic they are and of course, now I too am in the know. Your mats have a unique gripping and supportive texture. Since using your mat I have been able to connect more with the mula bandha, and my breath- I don't know quite how to describe it but your mats provide a security or comfort level that allows me to let go and focus.
I own my Black Mat PRO 85'Long for almost an year by now and all I can say is I LOVE IT! I got it from Amazon ( sorry guys, slightly cheaper mat and no shipping fees) and I heavily use it 5-6 days a week. It still looks like new after so much use. I find the way you advance in your practice, you need a longer mat (especially when you are 5'9")and on top of that there is no slippage, adequate cushioning for the knees on hardwood floors and I can finally do my balancing poses on it (Wow! That's a first!). The only negative thing I have to say about it is the fact that it weights a ton, but I don't mind it knowing the benefits!
I have owned my Black Mat Pro 85" for about four years now, and I must say, it has gracefully endured my wear and tear with vigor. At first, it was a bit slippery, and I was a little disgruntled. But after a few months of daily use, it's grip improved significantly, and then I really fell in love with it. The length is perfect and allows more personal space while practicing at a yoga studio. This mat is also terribly comfortable and supportive, so I can focus on my breathing and poses instead of discomfort and fear of slipping. Yes, the mat is on the heavier side, but I am not bothered by it. I look at it as weight training.
The black mat is the only yoga mat I'll ever need. I've already worn out two standard mats that I bought from a local sports warehouse. If you're an ashtanga yogi, I say you consider the investing in your life long practice. It'll bring you to a greater state of mind when you practice, since you no longer have to worry about getting bruises if you fall during practice.
