## Description

Product Description

Review: Simply put: The best yoga mat I have ever bought - I've purposefully left it quite a while to review this product as I wanted to break it in and test it out before giving a fair review. Quite frankly this is the best yoga mat I have ever bought. When it arrived it did have that "yoga mat" smell but after a couple of days of airing this soon disappeared. It's a robust mat, comfortable, definitely non-slip and after plenty of sweaty, hard core yoga and Pilates sessions holds its own in comparison to other mats I've had in the past. I genuinely love using this. I bought the blue which looks great and I've even had comments about how good it looks and feels. I am one very happy customer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... (as my millenium one still is of a very good quality). I'm a bit circumspect regarding the craze ...
*by C***E on 12 April 2015*

I've been practicing yoga for over 20 years - and have not purchased a new mat in about 15 (as my millenium one still is of a very good quality). I'm a bit circumspect regarding the craze for 'new and better' - and also attempt to reduce my own consumeristic imprint... HOWEVER... after three minutes on this mat I was totally sold! It's SUCH a difference from my old and cherished millenium mat!!! In the interval between ordering this manduka eko mat and receiving it, I've read many scary reviews - people complaining about the smell and what not. I was thinking: oh NO! maybe I have to return it! .... AND THEN: surprise! the natural rubber smell reminds me of roasted barley or millet - so it's actually, in my particular case, a very pleasant smell! The mat is simply fantastic (besides-the color is mesmerizing ) - all in all... a treat to practice on. I wonder how on earth did the yogis of 2000 years back managed without such a mat :-) I thought this is a good example of how science can be used (and not mis-used). So, thank you Manduka team! I'm really grateful to be practicing on this wonderful mat!
