Why Manduka?: Frankly, I was never very particular about my mat. Recently, I was given an eKO Lite™ Mat to try, and immediately I realized how superior the traction is. I am extremely delighted to have one of my own. I even think it has improved my jumping!
What does your Manduka help you #practice?:
Yoga Style: Anusara® yoga
