Manduka black mat pro too slippery.
Manduka recommends using this mat for hot yoga classes as its closed cell design keeps the sweat and bacteria out but if you do you ll want to use a towel with good traction on top of the mat to minimize slipping.
You can easily sprain a muscle or hurt yourself.
The coarse salt does work and the mat takes a few weeks of heavy use to a couple months of light use to wear in and then it s fine.
You don t need to add water to make this mat slippery but when you do it gets very slick.
It is also very dangerous.

Manduka manufacturer should be ashamed.
As an owner of a manduka pro i love it now but it was a bit slippery in hot yoga at the start.
It is hard to do yoga on the mat because of slippage.
I think you suggesting putting gloves on and using a chemical grease cleaner would probably deter most people.

Here are just few comments from amazon users.
It is a bit cumbersome carrying the mat to the yoga studio or gym but think of it as an additional mini workout well worth the reward.
This must be the worse mat i have ever tried and the most expensive too.
