YOGA MATS

Some yoga mats have great cushioning, while others may be a little thin. Similarly, some yoga mats are rather heavy and so are not suitable for traveling on yoga retreats, while others are great to practice on at home or at your yoga studio. Some are expensive and other yoga mats are more affordable. You will find a good selection in this video to meet all needs.

I actually have both brands. I first bought the Manduka 9 years ago and it shows no sign of wear. When I want to post photos online, I use the Lifeforme which I got less than a year ago, and so far it has not shown any signs of wear. Basically, I would say that the Manduka is the forever mat, whereas the Lifeforme is quite simply beautiful. Perhaps we should all have 2 - one for show and one for work!!!!

FYI - for HALF the price, you can get a mat that's made from the same materials as the Liforme, has the same dimensions and thickness: The Plyopic Ultra Grip Pro Yoga Mat. And what's even better is Plyopic also do a Pro+ and a Lite version if you prefer a mat that's thicker or more portable 🙂

I liked my Liforme mat while it lasted, but unfortunately that was not very long. It was showing considerable signs of wear after two years and I had to replace it after a further six months. I have recently bought a Manduka PRO Long. I'm impressed so far but will see how I get on long term.

Based on your other reviews, I just bought the Manduka Pro (long version). As much as I wanted a pretty mat, I really liked that they have a long version for tall people and it sounds like a good, long-lasting investment piece. I just need to prep it / break it in and I will definitely be watching your video on that! Thank you for all your videos - such great info!

[alexanderdean]

Thank you Alexia! Took me several days to find out if I wanted the Manduka pro or the Liforme. I personally feel like the Manduka (for someone who just wants a generally good mat that you can't go wrong with) is the classic. From a semi-beginner to yoga, I enjoy your videos greatly!

[NaturallyKarli]

Love love love my Liforme! But yours is so much prettier😍

[lubazeltov]

Manduka Pro is non absorbent and therefore more slippery if you do hot yoga or yoga in a warm room and one should use a towel with it. Liforme soaks up sweat and bacteria but the grip is great. You also need to air it out after practice because it soaks everything up and cleaning is a bit hard. By the way I saw liforme on sale around black Friday. I think 30%off.
So if someone is a germaphobe go with manduka pro))

[BrainCalm]

Thank you sagain for the information! I’ve bought the Liforme!!

[magicworldbyjorg]

….a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[bobmariano]

Love your videos & advice . Continued success & wishing all the best . 😘👍😊

[brennanyznik]

You do really wonderful videos! So thanks so much for that! Regarding eco credentials, it might help to reconsider though that the Manduka is actually not nearly as eco friendly as Liforme. While its true you only need to buy Manduka once, ecologically minded yogis (and we all should be) really shouldn't be looking for a mat that will last a lifetime.Because Manduka is PVC (aside from their ecolite range!) its still a really controversial material, even though they make it in a way to be less toxic than PVC normally is. The sad fact about PVC is that its basically impossible to make it eco-friendly. So while Liforme won't give a life guarantee, its beause their mats are guaranteed to biodegrade in 1-5 years once they reach landfill. So while it might cost us a bit more money to buy a few mats over the course of a lifetime, I'm ok with that if it means I know my yoga practice isn't going to cost the earth long after I'm gone. x

Hey Alexia, love your videos and learning so much watching each and every one of them ❤️ I'm ready to invest but I don't know if Manduka will be grippy enough for my sweaty hands and feet. Seems like Lifeform has much better grip for wet and dry practices but doesn't last long. Please help me! 🤷‍♀️😂

[dollparade]

Thank you for the comparison! Which one would you recommend for hot yoga?

[elengmz]

I have a Manduka pro for few years, the quality is good, looks like a new mat but the grip is very bad, I slip all the time if Im sweetie ot not... Its a very expensive mat and Im very disappointed about the quality of the grip

[estheranibal]

May I ask :Does the white color of lifeform yoga mat easy to get dirty & not easy to maintain the clean condition? Thank you for your time.

[ChogiChog]

Hi Alexia, i can´t see any gold on your Matt... what happend with the Colour? Pleas give me an Answer. Love Chris

[jessicademaskey]

How long does the life form mat last for?

[nakiapalmer]

How do you clean the white and gold mat?
