Manduka Beginners Deluxe Yoga Package - Hers Review

Extremely high quality products.The mat is extremely comfortable and I was able to air out the "plastic smell" on my porch over the weekend and now it's perfect.The towel is very softy and very useful for a sweaty yoga session.Not sure how often I'll be using the block and the strap, but I when I purchased this set it cost as much as the mat itself.Amazing bargain, wonderful products.

Product Description
The perfect combination of convenience and durability for the aspiring yogi, the Manduka Beginners Deluxe Yoga Package for Women includes everything you need to get started, including a PROlite yoga mat, cork block, yoga strap, and eQua towel. Manduka's PROlite yoga mats are all about performance, both in the studio and on the go. Made from zero-waste, sustainable materials, the lightweight PROlite mat features a slip-resistant--yet not sticky--surface even when wet from perspiration, OekoTex-certified, emissions-free manufacturing, and a lifetime guarantee. It measures 71 x 24 x 3/16 inches and weighs 4 pounds.

The eQua towel is the perfect companion to all Manduka high performance yoga mats. The large towel lies over your yoga mat to add traction to sweaty palms and feet, while the small towel is great for the face and hands. The versatile eQua doubles as a germ-free gym towel to absorb perspiration, as a meditation shawl so you can stay warm during cool sitting sessions, or as a highly absorbent travel or hiking towel which takes up a minimum amount of packing space. Slip-resistant, when moist, this super-soft microfiber towel provides extra grip for sweaty hands and feet.

The Manduka Cork Block sets the standard for high performance yoga props. Cork is renewable, sustainable material which has a firmness not found in foam blocks, and allows you to feel secure in the support it provides. You can also feel good about the manufacture of our blocks, knowing there are no toxic chemicals produced in their harvesting and manufacturing. The block measures 4 x 6 x 9 inches and weighs 2 pounds. Manduka's yoga strap design is based on the original yoga strap developed in Pune, India by yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar. The buckle design has been improved, making it stronger and easier to use, and the 10-foot belt is made of 100 percent natural unbleached cotton.

Manduka Large Mat Sak Review

Manduka Large Mat Sakand worth it but if you're most concerned about price there are much less expensive, functional bags out there, albeit not as good looking.The bag lacks a secure place to store small items such as ID, cell phone, keys, etc...but has a generous sized side compartment which comfortably fits a towel, strap and bottle of water.

Product Description
A perfect fit for Manduka's eKO and black yoga mats, the large Manduka Mat Sak will last every bit as long as your yoga mat itself. The bag is designed with two compartments: a large, breathable main compartment that accommodates mats as big as 26 inches wide, and a side zippered compartment with organizer pockets for other yoga accessories, such as straps, towels, and personal belongings. Users will also appreciate the durable, lightweight ballistic nylon material--the same kind used by premium luggage brands--along with the unique ventilation system, which lets the mat breathe while stored inside the Mat Sak. Also available in a smaller size that's ideal for Manduka's PurpleLite mat, the large Mat Sak measures 31.7 by 7.1 by 7.1 inches (W x H x D).

Manduka Large eQua Towel (Improved Design) Review

Manduka Large eQua Towel (Improved Design)I practice heated vinyasa, so this was great considering how much i move (a lot!) and sweat (I lose about a pound and a half if I don't drink!) throughout the class. It does wrinkle ever so slightly throughout class, but not enough to be a distraction. It's more or less slip proof, but you do have to spray it down pretty generously with water before you start. In fact, the towel dries out so rapidly in the heat I have to get it uncomfortably damp at the beginning of class--but just at the spots where I put my hands and feet in downdog. However, for the price, it was well worth it--you can get two of these for the price of one yogitoes towel, and use it as a regular towel. Plus, it's a little larger than the yogitoes standard and I do appreciate the extra room.

Product Description
Manduka eQua is the "next generation" in eco-conscious, multi-purpose towels. Extremely lightweight, yet durable and super-absorbent, the eQua micro-fiber towel outperforms ordinary cotton or polyester towels - on the mat, at the gym, on a mountain, or on the road. For yoga, eQua is the ideal "rug" to keep you and your mat hygienic and slip-free. Quick drying in minutes, use it as a warm-down shawl after practice. For working out, eQua provides the perfect moisture-wicking wipe for the excessively sweaty. And for the space-challenged traveler, the compact eQua, in its re-useable mesh bag, is an ideal road companion. The large towel lies over your yoga mat to add traction to sweaty palms and feet, while the small towel is great for the face and hands. Like all Manduka high performance products, the eQua is designed and tested by people who live life full and expect the most from it. eQua � a towel for life.

Manduka Small eQua Towel Review

Manduka Small eQua TowelI disagree with the other person who reviewed this product.This towel is so much better than a regular hand towel during my 90 minute hatha yoga classes.I get pretty sweaty and the towel is super absorbent...it does not become heavy and wet like a regular hand towel.
