I purchased the Manduka eKo Lite mat a year ago specifically for Ashtanga yoga, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The grip was insufficient for someone who sweats heavily like me, making it dangerously slippery during practice. Additionally, the mat showed significant wear and tear, with the sides fraying where my feet usually land. For an intense practice like Ashtanga, this mat simply doesn’t hold up. Considering it cost me 80€, it’s disappointing that it’s now unusable. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who practices intensely or sweats a lot.

Terrible I purchased a gift in July via the link on their Facebook page. No yoga mat arrived After numerous emails one reply to tell me mat was missing and that my money would be refunded. Fobbed off constantly. Don't waste your money

I tested and tried Manduka products, they were average. What’s not average is the amount of text marketing they send to your cell phone. I receive a marketing text from Mandela 4x a month, I’ve blocked and deleted the number every time. I would not recommend buying products or giving information to a company like Manduka. Very annoying and inconsiderate.

Unfortunately, I cannot support this company. I was working in Nicaragua at a local yoga studio in 2013. The CEO of Manduka, Peter Sterios, came to do a yoga training. He was stuck up and rude to several of us, and even humiliated a few students and teachers. In 2016 I was gifted a Manduka mat. From the start there was zero grip. There are much better yoga mat brands to support.

I bought the Manduka Pro on sale and it had a noticeable crease on the back, which wasn't mentioned. The PVC is covered with a greasy film that should be removed in a "break in process": you should sprinkle salt on the mat and leave it for 24 hours. Multiple times if necessary. With a mat this expensive, I expect to be able to use it straight away. The return is very difficult. Communication is non-existent. Customer service does not respond to multiple emails. There are good yoga mats made of PVC that only cost a third. I cannot recommend Manduka.

I've gone trough a bunch of (cheaper) yoga mats now, and I have to say I'm very impressed with the pricier Manduka one. Got it on sale at a decent discount, normally they are a bit too expensive for my taste. I'm willing to pay a premium for a quality products, but still wouldn't pay full price at this point since I don't know how durable the mat is. So I was going to give the 4 instead of 5 stars. Shipping was quick though and no issues (never had any issues with DPD to be honest). On a side-note, I don't quite understand how people that got scammed by a website imitating this brand, come to this page to give a bad review. That's a bit unfair. So I'll give 5 stars anyway to bump up their average a bit.

Excellent customer service. Prompt and friendly replies. Mat towels are a bit pricey thats why I gave a 4. Also a 4 because of items not being shown out of stock at the time of purchase and then getting an email saying, " oh sorry those items are out of stock." Its honestly no real big deal, just expressing an honest review. The Pro-lite mat is awesome. Pricey, but life time guarantee. Although it is very slippery when it gets wet at first, the Mat Towel actually helps with it a lot. The carry strap is very easy to use too, and helps with freeing up hands to carry other items if needed. Thanks Manduka, I will certainly come back. and remember all...... "don't forget to bring a towel"

Bought yoga mats and received some cheap and horrible glasses
