Manduka rubber yoga mat eKO Lite Midnight
Manduka rubber yoga mat eKO Lite Midnight
OVERVIEW
All eKO series yoga mats have a closed-cell surface, which will never absorb moisture. Because of this, if you are warm/sweaty at all, the yoga mat will feel slippery, so we always recommend pairing it with one of Manduka hand towels to absorb moisture and provide extra traction or to apply Manduka yoga grip gel during your practice. If you're practicing hot yoga, we recommend a mat towel for full mat coverage.
The marbled and striped colors are hand-processed and have unique patterns. We can't guarantee the yoga mat will match the image exactly.
99% Latex-free. Not recommended for those with Latex sensitivities.
Crafted in Taiwan from natural tree rubber.

USE & CARE
For daily refresh: Keep your eKO mat smelling fresh and clean by wiping it down after every practice with Manduka mat wash & refresh. Use a clean cloth to wipe the mat dry before rolling or using.
For monthly restore: Maintain the performance of your eKO mat by applying Manduka naturalrubber yoga mat restore once a month. Allow the cleaner to sit for 5 minutes and then use a clean cloth to gently wipe the mat dry before rolling or using.
- DO NOT put the eKO series mat in the washing machine, as it will damage the mat and increase the breakdown of the rubber mat
- DO NOT soak the eKO mat or submerge in water
- DO NOT use the salt method used for PRO series on the eKO series mats
- Usage of the eKO series in a hot environment can dry out the rubber and thus loose performance and reduce flexibility of the material. If used in hot areas, ensure to use the natural rubber yoga mat restorer more regularly to maintain performance
- Always ensure your mat and the floor are completely dry before placing your mat on the floor. A wet mat or wet floor can cause color transfer and staining to the floor
How to store: Do not leave the mat exposed to direct sunlight. If wet, allow the mat to dry before rolling up. For best performance, when not in use, keep the eKO series rolled and in a bag or cover, as prolonged air and sun exposure can damage the rubber on the mat.
