Are you doing Hot Yoga? Do you sweat a lot while doing yoga? Are you slipping on the mat because you're sweating? If the answer to even one of these questions is yes, you have found the yoga mat that suits you. Manduka designed the GRP series for all intense yoga sessions. The mats in the GRP series absorb liquid as you sweat, and as they absorb liquids, their grip ability increases. Since the risk of slipping is eliminated, all you have to do is enjoy your yoga session by concentrating on your poses. GRP mats, offered in three different models, are Manduka's members that provide the highest grip.
Features of GRP
GRP's basic model has a thickness of 6mm and you will complete your yoga session without any slipping problems even in the most intense sessions. The Adapt model, which is slightly thinner by 5mm, also has the same features. GRP Lite, which meets the search for a thinner and lighter mat, is 4mm thick. Since the technical structure of the product is the same, its anti-slip feature does not change.
Manduka's innovative design provides the excellent grip ability of GRP with the leather-like top layer of the mat. No matter how much you sweat, you will remain stable on the mat thanks to this layer that absorbs the liquid and literally clings to you.
Thanks to the mat's charcoal-infused rubber center layer, liquid is easily absorbed and odor-free.
The bottom surface with 100% open air flow, which acts as a filter, allows the sweat to evaporate and the liquid does not accumulate inside.
GRP series is 99% latex-free.
Since the mat has an open-cell structure and absorbs liquid, it will show signs of wear over time. The top thinnest layer of three-layer GRP mats begins to peel off over time, and this is completely normal. GRP series does not have a lifetime guarantee like the PRO series, which has a single-layer and closed-cell structure.
Since GRP mats absorb liquid, care must be taken when cleaning them. Only use specific Manduka solutions recommended for cleaning the mat. Since disinfectant or other cleaning products will get into the mat and remain there, it will affect the lifespan of the product. Avoid using such products.
Sustainability
Manduka is a brand that has adopted the principles of sustainability. It works with high energy efficient facilities for production. The mats in the GRP series are produced in a facility in Spain that produces under these conditions. No toxic emissions are released into the atmosphere during production. The center layer and bottom surface of GRP are manufactured from sustainably sourced natural rubber.
