Breaking In My New Manduka ProLite Yoga Mat

Breaking in my new Manduka yoga mat!
When it arrived, it was way to slippery for me to practice on.
After the breaking in process, it became a lot better. Hopefully the grip will improve with consistent use.

Hello Jenn, I recently switched from bulking to leaning, meaning I'm doing a lot more calisthenics now,and I've heard horror stories and seen not so good mats break down in the gym as well. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods today and found the Manduka Pro Mat, read a lot of good reviews; so I decided if the quality is as good as everyone is saying - then it's worth the $122, so I bought it. As soon as I opened it and layed it out, I put full unopened wine bottles on the curvy portion to flatten it down lol. I noticed on the paper I pulled off that it stated to coat it with sea salt and I was like what the heck is that for lol, so I found your video. Thanks for the tips. How has it held up since then?

Did it only work for a while and then became slippery again?

Yes after a while but you can just use the same process and it will work again!
