[@BalancingLaura]

Thanks for the feedback! The ProLite is SUCH a good mat and I think you'll be really happy with it! Best of luck on your yoga journey 💜

2020 and i'm watching this. thank you! I'm getting both e prolite for daily use and the eko superlite for travel. Much love!

[@BalancingLaura]

Ahhhh that's awesome!! I'm happy to report that all of these mats are still in top-notch condition (and my husband and I use them almost every day)! I'm excited for you and I hope they work out well! :)

[@loveistheessence]

Love that you're wearing Sarah's Day WFB yoga attire. :) Have the same black pair!

[@BalancingLaura]

YESSSSS!!! I am such a big fan of her activewear! I've got a lot of pieces from her collections and have been so happy with all of them!

[@susansmith7541]

Great info that was easy to follow and understand. Makes the decision process for which mat much easier.

[@WelcomedDiversions]

@balancinglaura Can you please tell me what colors your mats are? Love the long pro one!

[@dannys3185]

Thank you for the excellent presentation. I especially liked that you showed a sequence of yoga poses. I will do these myself as I am new to yoga and I needed something like that.

[@BalancingLaura]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm so glad I could help out! :)

[@riandrach]

Thank you!! Your video helped me to F I N A L L Y decide which manduka mat I should get!! 💜

[@BalancingLaura]

Ahhhh YESSS! This makes me so happy to hear! Let me know what you think when you get yours!

[@NadiaNakur]

Hi Laura! do you have any issues on the eko superlite one? I've had this mat for around 8 months and practice 2-3 days daily on it since May'22, but i feel like its still too slippery for my liking :( do you have any suggestion on how to break in the mat? thankyou so much :)

[@novianti3386]

Hi Laura! Is the Prolite slippery when you're sweating? Had you done the "break in" process?

[@BalancingLaura]

Great question! I actually didn't do the "break in" process and had no issues. It may be worth testing out how it feels if you put a little bit of water on it. That way to can see how slippery it feels for you. Hope this helps!

[@jihyunhappy]

Thank you for the video. I order a manduka prolite yoga mat online. I am waiting for it. I am so excited. The price is quite different between Korea and USA.. prolite is about ₩138000 in Korea.. it is about $120 with tax.

[@BalancingLaura]

I hope you get it soon if you haven't already! That's crazy to hear how different the price is. Curious to hear how you like your mat! :)

[@mortenlk]

Does anyone know if the dimensions of the width of the Pro mat long has been changed since this video? On Mandukas website it says that the Pro standard and the Pro extra long has the same width (66 cm).

[@yellowleaf28]

I walk to and from work to yoga and have been looking for a dense mat under 5 lbs.

[@KaiAtienza]

BTW, your video also convinced me to get the PROlite mat. Now I'm also thinking of getting an eko superlite. :D

[@BalancingLaura]

That's so great to hear! Let me know what you think!

[@enigmassounds]

Thank you, I am beginning to practice Yoga, don't have a mat yet, and your video was helpful. Thanks!

[@BalancingLaura]

Wonderful! I'm so glad this was helpful! Best of luck!

[@ngaphan5233]

This is so helpful. Thank you so much for making this video!!! :) I found an used - like new PROlite one on Amazon for $60 which is a lot cheaper. Super excited to try out my 1st Manduka mat.

[@BalancingLaura]

Yay!! I'm so glad I could help! Eager to hear what you think! 💜

[@shiyundeng699]

Hi! Thanks for sharing! And would you please tell me what do you think of Manduka eko?

[@Rociowen]

please have you ever tried de PRO Travel? It's like the first one but travel version... (1 kg weight too but 2,5 mm !!! more cushion!!! )i'm in between this PRO Travel and the eko super lite you mentioned

[@BalancingLaura]

I haven't tried the PRO Travel mat yet, but I'm dying to! It sounds like the PERFECT travel mat since it's a little thicker than the eko Super Lite but is still light enough and "foldable" enough to travel with!

[@Rociowen]

@@BalancingLaura I will buy it on this b.friday! i'll tell you

[@maryamm4380]

@@Rociowen have you tried it yet? Im making the same decision right now 😅

[@Rociowen]

@@maryamm4380 I'm sorry I didn't answer hahaha I forgot. Sorry about my English I'm not native. Well the pro travel its better than the eko super lite because the material is thicker and most durable surface. (I bought the pro travel and the eko for my boyfriend) and the eko is more foldable? It has a very good grip (eko) but maybe too good. Sometimes in your practice you want to "slide"? A little and with that you can't. The pro travel is way better for me. I used it over another to practice ashtanga, and alone for vinyasa and it's really good. In fact I recently bought the pro lite for keep practicing ashtanga . I recommend to sprinkle sea salt as they say in the package... The procedure... When I removed the salt with a damp cloth, my mat was slippy but then I let it dry like another day or two and it was perfect...now the grip is really good and also y can flow in it. Pro travel is very good and prolite too

[@itsleti5628]

Hi!!! just watched your video. I want to buy a new yoga mat and I have heard about manduca yoga mats. I just want to know if the Manduka polite yoga mat is slippery in your opinion as you use it! thank you!!

[@BalancingLaura]

Hi there!! My husband and I have both had great experiences with our Manduka mats. I personally haven't had issues with it being slippery and am a big fan of the texture. Hot yoga classes would be the only time they might be a little slippery but it hasn't been an issue for me! Hope this helps! 💜

[@groovyshades8055]

Are these mats good for Pilates

[@BalancingLaura]

They can definitely work for pilates! You may want to have a little more cushioning though. I'd get the Pro for the extra thickness. Hope this helps!

Detailed info I was searching for! Subscribing 🙃

[@lauracastelnovo9010]

Hi Laura, amazing video and suggestions. I'm wondering... how often do you clean the mats? with which products? Thanks in advance for the consideration :)

[@BalancingLaura]

Thanks so much for the feedback! Generally, I'd say we clean our mats about once per week. If I sweat a lot or have dirty feet, I'll usually wipe it down after I practice. Manduka has their own mat cleaner that you can buy (and I've had good experience with it), but we've made our own with water, witch hazel, and tea tree/lavender essential oils. :) Hope this helps!

[@surajdave]

Thanks for the info! I think im gonna get the prolite!

[@BalancingLaura]

Hooray!! I'm eager to hear what you think of it! 💜

[@EdytkaMgz]

Thank you for this! I am about to buy Manduka and was wondering if I should get Pro or Prolite. Decided to get prolite :)
