Limited Edition Manduka PRO 71'' – Black Dragon

Chris Croft

Cullomtpon, Devon

Why Manduka?: Rolling out my Manduka mat anchors me into the reality of my daily practice. Having shredded numerous inferior mats in my time I don’t know why I ever wasted my time with other mats. Having the right tools for the job means you can dedicate your entire focus to the present moment, knowing that your mat won’t fail you when you are at your most vulnerable. My Manduka gives me that added sense of permanence and stability so that no matter where I am in the world I can roll out the familiar and safe ground I need to surrender to my practice.

What does your Manduka help you #practice?: My Manduka helps me practice stillness in motion.

Yoga Style: Ashtanga, Vinyasa

Practice with me here: Ashtanga Yoga Workshop
