Found a Manduka Pro. Holy crap it's heavy! I will have to roll this up every day??? We will see. I may stick with the Pro Lite. If that is not comfortable enough, I may stick with my cheapie but beautiful pink mat.

I too, was surprised how heavy it is but it feels so stable. Now I can probably do some of my fusion workouts in bare feet without worrying that the mat will slide like my cheaper ones do because they're so light.

I am so glad so many were able to find mats! I use the Manduka Pro for so many things besides yoga. That is why I am glad I scored a new one! The new one will be just for yoga and my old one will be for everything else.

My first impression is that Manduka Pro, which I just got, is a lot heavier and denser than any other yoga mat I own, and I own 3 other mats. It's not necessarily thicker, but it's definitely denser - thus the heavier weight. Anytime I used my cheaper yoga mat for barefoot fusion workouts, the mat would move around or even stick to my feet (!!) because it was so light. I briefly tried the Manduka mat today and it didn't move/slide around and felt a completely stable. That's my impression so far. I use yoga mat for yoga, pilates and barefoot fusion workouts.

Another thank you for posting about this! Checked my 2 local stores, and there was only one purple pro between them. Now there are none in the store and I have the new mat I have been needing.
It is marked "irregular", but I think that might be just for the color. It has some teal/blue streaks - looks a little iridescent which I find pretty. Maybe switching color batches while manufacturing? |
