Yipi Yogi and Hiker Biker proudly presents the world's most durable yoga mat, Black Mat Pro.  In Yipi Yogi founder and certified yoga teacher Yumiko Abe's experience, the bottom of this mat remains firmly planted on the floor and the Mat does not shift during yoga practice. The top's sticky surface keeps your feet rooted during balancing poses, such as Warrior and Downward Facing Dog.  Enjoy 1/4" thickness which feels great on your spine, hips, knees, and elbows in positions like Child's Pose.

Yumiko's Recommendations:

· The Manduka straps (comes with package) can transform your practice and Yumiko highly recommends using Manduka over the cheap buckle straps made by other companies. Many yoga teachers would agree.

· Since the Black Mat is heavy (7 pounds), Yumiko highly recommends purchasing in a combination package with a bag. If you do not want to carry around such a heavy mat, she recommends using the Mandukas Prolite, which is basically a lighter version of the Black Mat.

· Expect the Mat to be slippery when you first use it until you "break it in"

· This Mat made of high quality OekoTex certified, eco-responsible manufacturing will last you a lifetime and comes with a Lifetime Guarantee
