Can I use my eKO® series mat for hot yoga?Updated 2 years ago

Yes! The eKO® series mat can be used for hot yoga. Natural rubber provides a semi-sticky grip, and it is a sealed cell material so it will absorb minimal moisture. In heated or sweaty classes, we recommend pairing your eKO® series mat with a hand towel or a mat towel to absorb moisture and increase grip. You can also improve your grip with our Manduka Yoga Grip Gel, too!

Please note that using the eKO® series mats in a hot environment requires regular care to maintain the performance of the rubber. If used in a hot practice, please be sure to use Manduka's Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore 1-2 times a month to maintain the performance of the rubber.
