I use the Manduka Pro. I practice about 10 hours a week in the studio, a few hours at home, and I also teach two classes a week. The Pro is certainly the heaviest mat I've ever owned (almost 8 pounds), but it is also the best mat I've ever had! I never slip or stick, it doesn't smell, even after the Ashtanga Primary Series, and it's nice and thick for Savasana. If you're looking to but one last yoga that never needs replacing, the Manduka Pro is a great choice! Namaste!

Thank you, for this information

I use one that is not on the list - the Saka Eco Yoga Mat, which the makers say is a more eco-friendly, non-pvc, non-latex material. Regardless - I love this mat which I use mainly for travel. It is very lightweight, not too thin & not too thick, and very "sticky".

I use the Lotuspad mat and really enjoy it. It's well-padded and the non-slip surface is excellent. I have some ankle and knee joint issues and so this surface is ideal in that it provides solid support instead of being slippy like many other mats. Great product!

I use the Manduka black mat, which I love. I'd like to try the Manduka ProLite mentioned in the WSJ article, hopefully it has some of the same qualities as the black mat without being so heavy!
