I recently submitted three samples of the Manduka eKO Superlite Travel Mat to OM Magazine. OM were testing a huge range of yoga mats for the biggest survey on yoga mats available in the UK. They sent the mats off to three yoga studios for the teachers and students to try out.
The Manduka eKO Superlite Travel Mat scored very high marks as a travel yoga mat, notching up several 10′s in their survey…..
‘Good marks with each body contact, would use as a travel mat’
‘Great travel mat, I would buy, really safe’
‘fantastic travel mat’
‘packs up small’
I have loved this travel yoga mat since its arrival in 2010. I have used it on a trip to Turkey where it performed well in the heat and also regularly take my travel mat to class with me. Its great to put on top of a studio mat. Fantastic grip and so much more hygienic than using a mat which has been used by countless others!
The mat is designed to be folded so is ideal to carry in your bag to work or in your backpack when on your travels. To top it all, its completely bio degradeable and so leaves no footprint in landfill.

Small but beautiful – The Manduka eKO Superlite Travel Yoga Mat

Hi There
Thank you for getting in touch. The Manduka eKO Superlite is designed as a foldable travel mat, is biodegradable and as such has a limited life. Having said that I use mine four times a week for Hatha yoga on top of a studio mat. The Superlite is a very thin mat with great traction. It will not give you any cushioning on a hard gym floor but will give good grip. I think it would be almost impossible to find a light foldable mat which would give all the functionality of a traditional yoga mat.
I hope this is of some help to you.
Kind regards
Nicky
