Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your Manduka practice essentials.
What is the difference between the PRO and eKO yoga mat series?
The PRO series is made from high-quality, closed-cell PVC designed to last a lifetime and features a firmer cushion. The eKO series is crafted from sustainably harvested natural tree rubber, providing a naturally grippy surface with a springier feel.
How do I 'break in' my new PRO series mat?
To accelerate the break-in process, we recommend the 'Salt Scrub' method: sprinkle coarse sea salt over the mat, let it sit for 24 hours, and then remove with a damp cloth. Regular practice is the best way to improve the grip over time.
Does Manduka offer a lifetime guarantee?
Yes, we offer a Lifetime Guarantee on our Manduka PRO, PROlite, and PRO Travel yoga mats. If the mat wears out from regular use, we will replace it. Please note this does not cover misuse or intentional damage.
What is your return policy for yoga gear?
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase for items in their original packaging. For hygiene reasons, yoga mats, towels, and clothing must be unwashed and unused to qualify for a full refund.
How should I clean and maintain my Manduka mat?
For daily cleaning, use our Botanical Cleaner or a damp cloth. Never soak or submerge your mat in water, and avoid using harsh soaps or vinegar, as these can damage the integrity of the materials.
How long does shipping take for domestic orders?
Standard shipping typically takes 3-7 business days within the continental United States. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout if you need your gear sooner for an upcoming workshop or class.
