From The Heart
A friend gave me the Manduka Black Mat Pro about 8 years ago, and it has been my favorite mat ever since. My Manduka supports my practice from the ground-up, which gives me the freedom to soar to new heights each time I place my feet at the top of my mat. My Manduka mat holds the energy of my devotion, love, commitment, and every daily discovery from my practice. There is no other mat out there that offers the same kind of support. I love my Manduka!

Why Manduka?: I fell in love with Manduka in 2008 when they began to help us fundraise for the Off the Mat Seva challenge. They were so helpful and generous and all their ideas are right on track with the way I hope to see the Yoga Community continue to flourish and grow.
What does your Manduka help you #practice?:
Yoga Style: Jivamukti
