Manduka's renowned eKO Lite natural rubber yoga mat has been improved and now offers unrivaled grip even under the most sweaty conditions. This 5mm yoga mat is extra thick and provides very comfortable cushioning, even for sensitive joints. In addition, this mat is extra wide, offering you more space to practice.

The new top layer, with a subtle wave pattern, has an innovative closed cell structure that forms a hygienic barrier and ensures you that moisture and perspiration can not penetrate the mat. This keeps your mat clean and hygienic, even after prolonged and intensive use. Because of this, if you are warm/sweaty at all, the mat will feel slippery, so we always recommend pairing it with one of our hand towels to absorb moisture and provide extra traction. If you're practicing hot yoga, we recommend a mat towel for full mat coverage.

The eKO yoga mat is eco-friendly and made of biodegradable natural rubber that has not been harvested from the Amazon. This material provides cushioning and support to your body and at the same time contributes to the protection of our planet. The eKO yoga mat is completely free of toxic substances and plastics, representing the future of the environmentally friendly yoga mat: the mat that is produced without environmental pollution and at the same time enables you to get the most out of your yoga practice .

Maintenance

For the cleaning of a rubber mat we recommend the Manduka Natural Rubber Mat Wash. These sprays are mild for your yoga mat and are free of phosphate, alcohol, and bleach. They contain vinegar for disinfection and maintaining the color of your yoga mat, and essential oils with antibacterial and therapeutic properties.
With all rubber yoga mats it is very important to keep them away from sunlight, both directly and indirectly. The UV radiation in sunlight affects the rubber and causes the mat to lose color and dry out. In addition, it is also wise not to expose your mat to extremely high temperatures.  

Sustainability

Since the beginnings of the Black Mat, Manduka has been inspired and guided by a responsibility to reduce global consumption by making better products that last longer. Manduka is also committed to finding sustainable product solutions. That is why they use recycled polyester, cotton, or other natural fibers for the production of all goods. These materials are environmentally responsible and kind towards your body.
