A Wonderful Space for Practice, October 24, 2006

When I used lighter, less dense mats they would sometimes bunch up or move around during flowing vinyasa practice. If my toe caught the mat, the edge would flip over and require adjustment. Also, they did not cushion very well. In addition, lesser mats wore out quickly and had to be replaced. When doing poses like the side-arm balance, my foot would slip off the end of the regular length mat and I would fall out of the pose.

With the extra-long manduka mat, none of these issues is a problem. The mat is solid and dense, and stays put on the floor no matter what I do. It cushions really well, but because it is so dense it is no problem to balance or move on the mat (not mushy). I have used these mats intensively for several years and they still look great. Durability is outstanding, and they show no signs of wearing out. The extra length allows me to move with confidence, knowing I won’t run out of room or slip off the mat. An additional benefit of the long mat is that it allows you to change your starting position on the mat somewhat, so that the small area worn by your feet is not the same every practice. In other words, you can spread the wear over a larger area to make it last even longer. The surface is plenty sticky for normal yoga, and if you do a hot yoga class or sweat a lot you will likely want to have a towel anyway. No complaints about stickiness.

As for weight, it seems that if you are big enough to need an extra-long mat you are probably strong enough to carry it around. It’s not heavy, it’s the best yoga mat I’ve ever used.

The Manduka mat will last a lifetime and will make your practices better. And at $85, it's cheaper than any single club in my golf bag (and I carry 14 of those). So my opinion is: suck it up and spend the money. It only hurts for a minute and you'll forget all about it the first time you step onto this mat! <br/><div style="padding-top: 10px; clear: both; width: 100%;"> <div style="float:left; padding-right:15px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC"><div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><b class="tiny" style="color:#666666;white-space:nowrap;">Help other customers find the most helpful reviews</b> </div><div style="width:300px;"> <a name="R1XFN17R4G3ETB.2115.Helpful.Reviews" style="font-size:1px;"> </a><span><span class="votingPrompt">Was this review helpful to you? </span><a rel="nofollow" class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/Helpful/1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/188-6951632-6750114?ie=UTF8&token=1BE06220349237EA8AE16DE00F4E68A6986579B5&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy9CMDAwQks5NUswL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTg4LTY5NTE2MzItNjc1MDExND9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9MWNtZ2cwMS0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49QjAwMEJLOTVLMCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUlIWTU2SlRJWUFIREVLNkEmc2lnPWQ0YnpkTkZjM3RuNCUyRndvJTJCQ0ZYUGZmNDVTbG5nb3l2cEhRa25sWTVqemRNJTNEJmV4cD0yMDEyLTAyLTIxVDE1JTNBMjklM0EwOVomYXRhZz0xY21nZzAxLTIw&voteAnchorName=R1XFN17R4G3ETB.2115.Helpful.Reviews&voteSessionID=188-6951632-6750114"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V192249951_.gif" width="35" alt="Yes" style="vertical-align:middle;" height="18" border="0"/></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/Helpful/-1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/188-6951632-6750114?ie=UTF8&token=22EFD9E43C8867A190CA65DEEF35ADA22AB392DB&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy9CMDAwQks5NUswL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTg4LTY5NTE2MzItNjc1MDExND9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9MWNtZ2cwMS0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49QjAwMEJLOTVLMCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUlIWTU2SlRJWUFIREVLNkEmc2lnPWQ0YnpkTkZjM3RuNCUyRndvJTJCQ0ZYUGZmNDVTbG5nb3l2cEhRa25sWTVqemRNJTNEJmV4cD0yMDEyLTAyLTIxVDE1JTNBMjklM0EwOVomYXRhZz0xY21nZzAxLTIw&voteAnchorName=R1XFN17R4G3ETB.2115.Helpful.Reviews&voteSessionID=188-6951632-6750114"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V192249949_.gif" width="35" alt="No" style="vertical-align:middle;" height="18" border="0"/></a> <span class="votingMessage"/></span> </div></div><div style="float:left;"><div style="padding-left:15px;"><div style="white-space:nowrap;"><span class="tiny"> <a name="R1XFN17R4G3ETB.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews" style="font-size:1px;"> </a><span class="reportingButton"><nobr><a rel="nofollow" class="reportingButton" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/Inappropriate/1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/188-6951632-6750114?ie=UTF8&token=0EC795384D80F74F10629A6638EBD073EBDAC289&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy9CMDAwQks5NUswL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTg4LTY5NTE2MzItNjc1MDExND9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9MWNtZ2cwMS0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49QjAwMEJLOTVLMCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUlIWTU2SlRJWUFIREVLNkEmc2lnPWQ0YnpkTkZjM3RuNCUyRndvJTJCQ0ZYUGZmNDVTbG5nb3l2cEhRa25sWTVqemRNJTNEJmV4cD0yMDEyLTAyLTIxVDE1JTNBMjklM0EwOVomYXRhZz0xY21nZzAxLTIw&voteAnchorName=R1XFN17R4G3ETB.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews&voteSessionID=188-6951632-6750114"></a></nobr></span> </span> <span style="color:#CCCCCC;">|</span> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/ref=cm_cr_if_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000BK95K0&nodeID=&tag=1cmgg01-20&linkCode=xm2" target="_top"></a></span></div><div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-left:-5px;padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/ref=cm_cr_if_cmt/188-6951632-6750114?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000BK95K0&nodeID=&tag=1cmgg01-20&linkCode=xm2#wasThisHelpful" target="_top"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/discussion_boards/comment-sm._V192250344_.gif" width="16" alt="Comment" hspace="3" align="absmiddle" height="16" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XFN17R4G3ETB/ref=cm_cr_if_cmt/188-6951632-6750114?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000BK95K0&nodeID=&tag=1cmgg01-20&linkCode=xm2#wasThisHelpful" target="_top">Comment</a></div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"/> </div> <br/></div>

Want to get better? Get a better mat., December 11, 2007

This review is from: Manduka BlackMatPRO 85-Inch Yoga and Pilates Mat (Sports)

$85 for a yoga mat? Like most of you, I had the same reaction, but it is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Yeah, it’s a lot of money, but the best always is — and this mat is clearly the best. That’s why your instructor uses one. You won’t believe how much better your poses and jump-backs will be until you try it on this extremely supportive surface. It’s well padded, but firm — never squishy — so your stability is excellent; and its surface relies on texture, not stickiness, to ensure superb grip, even when sweaty.

I also highly recommend the 85-inch length. I am not a tall person (at 5′ 10″, I am exactly average), but I love the extra length. I no longer ever find myself having to readjust a pose because I didn’t start in exactly the right spot on the mat. It is a bit heavier (9 lbs.), but so what. It’s exercise.

Now let me make a case for why this mat is actually a good value:

I have only been practicing yoga for a year (three 1-hour classes a week), and in that time I have purchased two mats for $30 each. One I’ve already worn out (material broke down from use) and the second one is on its way to wearing out. If I buy a third $30 mat I am now up to $90 in just over a year. The Manduka mat will last a lifetime and will make your practices better. And at $85, it’s cheaper than any single club in my golf bag (and I carry 14 of those). So my opinion is: suck it up and spend the money. It only hurts for a minute and you’ll forget all about it the first time you step onto this mat!

Which Size Manduka Is Right for You?, May 28, 2007

By 

Joseph Drew (Kent, OH) –

  

This review is from: Manduka BlackMatPRO 85-Inch Yoga and Pilates Mat (Sports)

I obsessed about whether to purchase the regular size Manduka or the longer 85″ model. I am only 5’9″ tall and was told by almost everyone that unless you are 6′ tall or over you don’t need the longer mat. Besides, the longer model is “so” heavy. As usual, I went my own way and purchased the longer mat and am glad I did. I love the longer mat. First of all, when I am completely stretched out on my stomach, my entire body is on the mat, face, hands and feet–not on the floor. I like the balanced feeling of every part of me being on the mat. Also, when I do my various asanas, I can now start in different spots on the mat and therefore put less wear and tear on the same spots. Second, I am afraid I don’t understand the “weight” issue? The 71 inch model weighs 6.5 pounds, this one weights 9 pounds. For me that’s not much of a difference, especially since I am only carrying the mat from the parking lot to the yoga room, not backpacking across India. Most of the time the mat is at home anyway.

As far as the Manduka mat in general, I have used two other mats and this one provides a lot more support. I find it to be very dense and firm, with just enough tactile feeling. And, the mat does not move around on me. I really like that. My yoga teacher said this was the best mat around.I am glad I listened to her sage advice.

Very good Zafu for the price. I can sit in much longer meditation sessions with out the pain! I feel stable, and my butt doesn’t get sore from it being too firm either. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star rating is because you can not remove the shell to wash it. The zipper is just a small opening so that you can adjust the amount of hulls inside to suit you.

This review is from: Bean Products Zafu Round Yoga Meditation Cotton Cushions Made In USA (Misc.)

Meditation is something I’ve been doing for years, but I’ve always tried to tough it out on the floor or just a couch cushion. I finally broke down and got the zafu cushion plus additional zabuton and was great surprised at the difference it made. I found the zafu surprisingly sturdy and supported my back much better without being too soft or too hard and lumpy. The stuffing inside is tight and comfortable, and I find it much easier to meditate for a prolonged period without the loss of circulation, numbness, or slightly crooked spine issues I had before.

I was also pleased to see that my three year old daughter enjoys the set too, not for meditation, but as a simple “bean bag” style seat she can use, so she uses it almost as often as I do. After two months of owning it, the product continues to be pretty useful. Thanks!

This review is from: Yogitoes rUniverse Yoga Tote Bag (Sports)

I think this is an ok yoga bag. The interior is roomy and has a place to put keys and whatnot. But, and this is a big but, the straps are soooo long that it hangs down to my knees!!! Now I am a short person (5’2″) so anyone around 5’5″ or taller might be heading into a good height for this bag and should consider it, anyone shorter should decide if they really want a very large, very long bag swirling around their knees all the time.
One other problem I had with it is that you are supposed to be able to slide your yoga mat into the straps at the bottom of the bag (you adjust the straps so that there is room under the bag between the bottom of the straps and the bottom of the bag). The only problem is it is very hard to slide a rolled up yoga mat into the area because it is so slack and your mat will want to come unrolled, and if you have a mat that isn’t as slick as some of the cheaper target, walmart versions it can get even harder (I have a Manduka Eko and it doesn’t slide in with out sticking). I have started putting my mat in the interior of the bag but it isn’t really meant for that and the bag becomes uneven.
All in all, this bag is good but not great. If you think you would be ok with the issues I have had then I would say get it and it might work for you I however would not repurchase.

This review is from: Yogitoes rUniverse Yoga Tote Bag (Sports)

I have bought 4 yoga bags and I must say this one is the best. It easily holds my huge Manduka mat,vitamin water,water bottle, coconut water, one towel and my yogitoes yoga towel! It has inside pockets as well as 2 large outside pockets.There is still ample room for more inside. The wide straps at the bottom of the bag are sturdy and can be adjusted easily to fit any mat size. The materials are eco friendly and well made to last a lifetime. They come in beautiful colors as well. I got the lavender.I love this bag. Hope this review was helpful.

This review is from: Discovery Trekking Outfitters Ultra Fast-Dry Towel, 28×34-Inch, Weighs 5.3oz (Sports)

This does a good job of drying them plus it is not bulky in their bags! They have washed well and maintained their color and quality!
