So I practice both Bikram and regular flow based yoga. This is a great mat for both; I really appreciate the extra thickness/cushioning. It's extremely cushiony and stays firmly gripped to the floor. I still haven't managed to "break in" the surface so that the protective (and slippery) film disappears, but I use a Yogi Toes towel on top and I'm now slip-free! So far it's the best mat I've owned. I tried several other mats and this is by far the best. I just ordered another one for a different room. Although I have the mat only a few weeks, I love the weight and feel.
Get this mat and you won't be disappointed. After ten years of yoga practice and ten different mats, I have finally found my last mat.
It's great. Going through multiple cheap mats was definitely a waste of money. When it's sticky, it's too sticky. I felt like my flesh on my toes was going to rip off when transitioning to up dog.
I am very happy with this mat. It is thick enough to use alone.
This mat is a little wider and longer than most yoga mats, making it ideal for taller guys (and gals) who want a little more room to maneuver. With a mat this expensive, one would hope it can withstand years of punishment. Honestly, even if I had not received the Manduka BlackMatPRO as a gift, I would still endorse it and spend the money purchasing it. This is an ideal workout aid for yoga, Pilates, abdominal work, etc., which means it is an investment in your health.
This mat is easily the best mat I have ever seen and is absolutely worth every penny. While this mat is mainly aimed at activities like Yoga or Pilates, it can also be used for other things like simple stretching. I have no problem with the weight. I think that is the best feature. If you find yours decreasing in stickiness each time you pull it out, this is the typical sign that a light coating of dust or too much body sweat has accumulated on your mat and it needs a light hand washing with very diluted soap and water. After washing, dry your mat unrolled, inside, and away from sunlight.
I compared the Jade and Manduka side by side and my hands didn't slip as much on the Jade due to the spongy texture which grips better. Plus the Jade is all natural and biodegrades. I suppose some folks may find it too heavy but it is still less than ten pounds and have no problem with that. There is the perfect amount of grip and the stability is excellent.
