The Favorite : Manduka Eko Lite Yoga Mat

There are so many mats on the market, I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed with the choices or if you aren't in love with your yoga mat. Which you aboslutely need to be. These are our magic carpets, we spend so much time working our bodies and minds on them that we need a space we love to appreciate and love to come back to every time. So I'll take the guess work out of it for you. After literal years of trying different mats, fashionable mats, expensive mats, inexpensive mats, there's only one I'll ever call my favorite. And it's also the only mat I'll ever carry in my shop because it's the only mat I recommend having.
 
The Manduka Eko Lite is it. Sticky, absorbent, quick drying, lightweight - these mats are sorcery. I always recommend a towel for hot practice, whether or not you have a great mat, but I like it by itself otherwise. I love how grippy it is and the roll out is perfect - I never have curled edges that make you (or your teacher!) trip. 4 mm may not be enough if you're looking for a super cushiony ride, but it's plenty for me - especially to just roll right up and go.
 
Manduka holds a bit of a gold standard status in the world of yoga, especially among teachers. And once you try their revolutionary mats that are also eco friendly (Team Planet!) you'll understand why. They've been around forever, and being created by the yoga community means their a company who understands the core needs of that community.
 
Treat your mat well! Make sure to wipe it down after class and give it a good wash at least 1 - 2x per week. Love ya, bestie.
