    Hi can anyone recomend a durable mat. I have a sticky mat that I got in campion sports and I am digging holes in it :o, and my toe nails are super short :confused:.

    Eko Tex - Ultra Black 200, from the yogashop.co.uk
    also available as


    Ultra Black 66 Yoga and Pilates Mat at http://www.ruthwhiteyoga.com


    I have had one for years, and it's as good as new.



    They are far too thick (7mm) for folding, heavy, and expensive but very confortable, and very, very hard wearing.

    I saw Manuka Yoga mats in TK Maxx in St Stephen's Green for €17 yesterday. I think they're supposed to be quite good, although I don't have one myself.

    Before you buy a yoga mat it is worth reading the information at
    http://www.burrenyoga.com/retreats-holidays/choosing-a-yoga-mat.html

    Some of the more expensive ones are not necessarily better.

    One good thing about buying a mat when you see it, rather than on-line, is that you can feel it in your hard, get a good idea of the weight of it.... and also 'smell it' ;-) Some of the rubber ones are very smelly.

    Best Wishes,
    Dave

    I have the Black Beauty version of the Manduka pro mat, my other half has the black one... we think they're fantastic. We've had lots of mats that cost 25-40 euro and they didn't last very long, these are excellent quality and the best we've ever used. Only bad point is that they are heavy 3 kilos :eek:
