Great mat. Not so thick you lose your balance but not so thin that your feet or back hurt during floor poses.Read more

Love this mat! It’s the perfect thickness and I love the colors. It grips well to our wood floor. I saw other reviews mentioning that it arrived dirty, but mine did not. I also think the price was decent for it.

  • Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2026

    I bought this Manduka Begin Yoga Mat 68" – 5mm on Amazon in September and started using it regularly in December. Unfortunately, after a period of use I’ve found that it really does not perform as a basic yoga mat should.
    As soon as my hands and feet start to sweat even a little, the surface becomes very slippery. It is hard to hold even the most fundamental poses, such as Downward-Facing Dog and the Warrior poses, without my hands and feet sliding. This is not just uncomfortable – it feels unsafe and affects my ability to practice at all.
    Given the brand reputation and the product description, I expected a mat with at least reliable grip for normal practice. Instead, the mat has turned out to be almost unusable for me in real practice conditions. I can no longer continue using it.
    I realize that I am now past the normal return window, but because this mat does not function as a proper yoga mat and poses a slipping risk during basic use, I kindly ask that Amazon/the seller consider a refund or replacement as an exception.

    Es un gran tapete de diario. Lo uso todos los días y también es super fácil de transportar, a veces si tengo que usar un poco mas de soporte en las rodillas doblándolo o con una cobija, pero es porque tengo lesiones. Fuera de eso el grip es buenísimo, tiene una línea de guía para alinear ñas posturas y el precio está perfecto, además de que está hecho con materiales reciclados y tienes garantía de por vida. Recomendadísimo
