Gifts for Him


Product: Manduka Prolite XL Yoga Mat

Price: $110.00

Shopping for a tall yogi? I have heard time and time again from my male students (and the tall ladies) that standard yoga mats aren’t long enough for their practice and they need something longer. 

The Manduka Prolite Yoga Mat comes in standard and extra-long length for yogis of all heights. It’s high in performance, but not as heavy as the signature pro mat. It is also 100 percent latex free for anyone that has allergies. An extra bonus is that all Manduka mats come with a lifetime guarantee, so it’s worth the splurge!
