"I’m absolutely in love with it; it might even be too grippy lol!"
"It’s light, good grip, good thickness and density for balance."
"Is my personal fave."
"Try the manduka pro. That one you have is not a great mat. My pro is 16 years old."

"I love my Manduka, have not tried the lulu ones."
"Manduka are truly the best and most durable."
