Manduka Prolite Overview
The price may seem a bit high at first for this yoga mat, but it’s worth every cent. People who use the mat report that it’s durable, doesn’t tear, and lasts for years.
Manduka Prolites come in a variety of colors (14), from black to weird shades of green. I personally recommend a dark color to avoid any workout staining or constant cleaning.
Additionally, the mat is slip resistant and has fantastic grip and texture after being broken in. So no worries about sliding about during your yoga class.
Pros and Cons:
