• Long: 3.6kg; 200cm x 61 cm; 5mm thick
• Developed by yoga teachers over 4 years
• Most durable natural rubber yoga mat on the market

• Due to their biodegradable nature, the eKO® Series is not recommended for a daily vigorous practice
• Usage of the eKO® Series in a hot environment requires regular care to maintain the performance of the rubber
• 99% Latex-free. Not recommended for those with Latex sensitivities
• No PVC
• No harmful plasticizers
• Pro Tip: Natural rubber provides a semi-sticky grip, but since it won't absorb sweat, we always recommend pairing your practice with our eQua® hand towels or yogitoes® hand towels (read our Guide to Yoga Towels) to absorb moisture and increase grip or improve your grip with our Yoga Grip Gel

For daily refresh: Keep your eKO® mat smelling fresh and clean by wiping it down after every practice with Manduka's 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's Natural Rubber 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.

For thorough clean: Use Manduka's Botanical Mat Cleaner.

• DO NOT put the eKO® Series in the washing machine, as it will damage the mat and increase the breakdown of the rubber mat
• DO NOT soak or submerge the eKO® Series in water
• DO NOT use the salt method on the eKO® Series
• 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 Restore 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

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.
