What is the difference between the PRO™and eKO® Series mats?Updated 2 years ago

Our PRO™ Series has been known as the Taj Mahal of yoga mats for 10+ years. Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee, the closed-cell construction provides dense support while the performance surface allows optimal movement between poses. Designed to last a lifetime (or two), Manduka PRO™ series yoga mats curb the amount of PVC that enter landfills each year and reduces overall mat consumption.

The eKO® Series, made of all natural non-Amazon harvested tree rubber, is the next generation of eco-friendly yoga mats. Developed over four years of research, the sealed-cell surface provides a stable practice with dry-grip. We are proud to say that Manduka’s eKO® Series is manufactured without any toxic glues or foaming agents and is more durable than other natural rubber mats found in the marketplace.

Wondering why we keep mentioning cells? A closed-cell or sealed-cell surface means your mat will not absorb sweat and moisture, where other mats might. If you sweat regularly in your practice, consider pairing any of our mats with a yoga towel to keep your mat dry, and your practice in place.
