I bought rubber caps for the ends and have been using it for mobility for me and my husband.

Been a real bonus!

P.S. if anyone else wants to do it the size that worked for me is the 1 and one-fourth inch rubber caps

With the increase in the Mandala prices, cost isn't even really a reason to pick theirs instead of Cathe's, since they come out very close in cost with shipping. If Cathe gets rid of the coupon, then it might be enough to sway someone to the Mandala mat. The "seconds" mats (when available) are now priced so that the cost plus shipping is just below Cathe's, and the regular mats would be just above Cathe's in price, I think.

The only other difference to consider is if you have a preference for a particular color.

Thanks! I am partial to purple! But like the packaging on Cathe's! Idk...analysis paralysis! Haha

Thanks for the rubber caps deets! What kind of mobility exercises are you doing with a 6ft pole? ... with your husband... inquiring minds.

The box was pretty ripped up at the one end with 2 - 16" long gashes that exposed the mat and the box was dented in on the one side. The canvas bag inside had a 6 inch slice in it, but the mat was untouched. I can understand why your husband refused it.


I'm glad my DH was home to refuse the package. I should be getting my new yoga mat around this time next week. Fingers cross that my package will arrive intact.
Yeah! Glad that you are closer to getting your mat. It’s so nice and cushiony.

That looks good. Thanks. Who knew stick mobility was a thing? Not me!

Cathe missed a secondary marketing opportunity by not seeing the beauty in this pole. . She could have thrown in a bonus stick workout for everyone that purchased the mat.

Received my mat last Thursday. It was in great shape on delivery so I was pleased about that. (My husband was at home when it arrived and saw the delivery man. He said, “Another yoga mat?”)

It is terrific! I did some low- and no-impact routines on it, and the cushioning was just what I was looking for.

I would NOT wear shoes on this mat at all. I think they would rip it up quickly. But barefoot workouts should be just fine.

Glad I purchased and would recommend.
