This yoga mat is lightweight enough to carry back and forth to the studio, or pack for a retreat. Plus, it's made from high-performance material designed to endure a lifetime of yoga practice. The mat has a specific top and bottom surface. The top's sticky surface keeps feet firmly rooted during balancing poses, such as Warrior or Downward Facing Dog. The bottom side remains stable on hard floors or carpet and won't shift during movement. Although only 3/16 inch thick, the mat provides ample cushioning for spine, hips, knees, and elbows during restful positions such as Child's or Plow pose. For safe practicing, the mat's surface remains slip-free, even when wet with perspiration. Measuring 71 inches long and 24 inches wide; the mat is long enough for tall yoga practitioners, yet light enough for students of nearly every size and age to carry. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Manduka Travel Mat November 23, 2008
I have been a yoga student for 8 years and over time have used several different mats; nike, lululemon etc..
A month ago my yoga teacher suggested I buy a manduka travel-light mat for a firmer support under my feet; ILOVE IT! It is light and easy to carry and most importantly my balance has improved. It is firm but very comfortable! You will not be disappointed.
 Unfortunatelly this mat is very slippery November 17, 2008
This mat is very slippery for vinyasa yoga. I bought it to replace my old mat that I have for over 5 years, a regular inexpensive mat that I couldn' t find any more in the market. I have washed the manduka mat more than 20 times and I have tried all possible different detergents. It is still slippery.
BEST MAT EVER! August 27, 2008
This mat is excellent. At first it was a little slippery, but if you read the instructions and wash it and leave it in the sun, it comes alive. Recommend it to anyone who is tired of leaving little mat pieces on the floor.

after a few months it started to disintegrate. Now I have to put it in the land fill.

I was torn between this lighter version and the heavier version. I am very pleased with my final choice of the lighter Manduka mat. It is wide enough and thick enough in comparison to your average mat without being too heavy to tote to the gym. It was delivered extremely fast so fast that I checked to make sure I didn't order expedited delivery! Yes, it was VERY stinky and a little slick. I tried washing it in the house but it wasn't helping with the smell. My solution was to leave it outside for about 2 weeks on my porch table. Our winters are mild so it wasn't getting too cold or getting too much sun. I would flip it periodically and wipe it down. We had a few rainy nights that was just perfect to get rid of the residue. After 2 weeks, the smell was gone. I tried once to use it sooner and it was an hour of torture - way too stinky to use. I prefer to use the bottom side of the mat - it has a better grip with the little circles on my hands. I haven't had any problems slipping until just recently when I had an instructor who insisted the room temperature be at about 100!!! I was sweating enough to slip for the first time ever. I had a thin hand towel with me that I placed on the mat under my hands. It was the perfect solution and no more slipping!
