If you are a yogi who travels frequently, it is perfectly normal to want to easily fold your mat and carry it with you. To meet this demand, Manduka produced the SuperLite for traveling yogis, which weighs only 1 kg and folds comfortably. This yoga mat with superior features in the eKO series comes with you wherever you go, allowing you to practice yoga safely. The thin and light mat provides ease of transportation while losing nothing of its performance. Since it has a thickness of 1.5 mm, it does not lose its grip feature.
Features of SuperLite
The travel mat made of natural rubber is thin, light and has high grip.
It can be easily folded and fits practically in your suitcase.
99% latex free.
If you are going to do yoga in a studio outside your home, you can use it by placing it on the mat in the studio. It does not slip thanks to its structure that adheres to the surface.
Thanks to its special weaving shape, the SuperLite yoga mat is resistant to stretching and tearing. Made from natural rubber, Manduka's eKO series is sturdier than any other rubber yoga mat on the market and will last longer than any other if care instructions are followed.
The surface texture has superior grip, allowing you to transition between yoga poses evenly, even if you sweat. However, if you are someone who sweats a lot or prefers intense sessions like Hot Yoga, using your mat with a yoga towel will positively affect your performance. Yoga mat towels are very functional aids. When you use it on the mat surface, it absorbs sweat and prevents the liquid from passing onto the mat and thus creating a slippery surface. While you perform your movements without the risk of slipping, you also extend the life of the mat. Additionally, you can machine wash the towel when your yoga session is over.
eKO SuperLite Travel Care
Since the mats in the eKO series are made of natural rubber, they have a more delicate structure than synthetic mats. For this reason, their maintenance requires more care. If you use your SuperLite yoga mat in hot climates, you need to apply regular maintenance to prevent the mat from drying out and losing its flexibility. For maintenance and cleaning, you can choose solutions produced specifically for rubber mats by Manduka.
You must make sure the surface is dry before using the mat. If laid on a wet floor, the colors on the surface of the mat may fade or the patterns of the mat may cause staining on the floor.
Sustainability
All mats in the eKO series are produced from rubber sustainably harvested from trees growing outside the Amazon. The production processes of the products in Manduka's collection do not contain chemicals that could harm the environment. The products in the eKO series are biodegradable and compatible with nature.
