Manduka designed a special mat considering those who are new to the world of yoga. Taking into account the needs of beginner yogis, the brand named this new model Begin. The mat, which offers superior cushioning with its dense texture, has a guide line on it to make movements easier.
Getting Started with Yoga Begin Yoga Mat
Cushioning feature is one of Manduka's prominent quality elements. This feature, which is also present in the Begin mat, is provided with a thickness of 5 mm.
Begin yoga mat can be used on both sides. Both surfaces of the mat are suitable for practice.
An alignment line has been added throughout the surface of the mat to guide beginners. This line passing through the center of the mat is designed to help yogis who are just learning yoga movements. It allows new yoga learners to easily switch between poses. It guides the hands and feet to be placed in the right points.
Thanks to its closed cell structure, it does not allow sweat in and prevents the formation of bacteria. It is easy to clean. You can clean the mat with cleaning solutions specially developed for yoga mat surfaces by Manduka and then leave it to dry and then remove it. Never clean the mat with a vacuum cleaner. Do not wash in the washing machine or leave in water.
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) was used in the production of the mat. The rubber-like synthetic material offers strong cushioning and provides a soft surface for practice.
The mat weighs only 1.1 kg, making it easy to transport. You can easily carry the Begin yoga mat with you both from home to the studio and when traveling.
Other Mat “X” in the Starter Series
There is another matte model in the Manduka starter series. Designed for different sports branches, X mat has the same technical features as the Begin yoga mat. Can be used double-sided. Made from TPE material, it offers the same density of cushioning. It is suitable for use with shoes.
The surface of both mats in the starter series may become slippery due to excessive sweating. Therefore, if you have a body that sweats a lot biologically, it is recommended to use these mats with a yoga mat towel. Yoga mat towel simply solves the sweating problem. It absorbs the liquid and prevents it from passing to the surface of the mat, allowing you to do your yoga practices without slipping.
Sustainability
Manduka is an environmentally friendly brand that attaches importance to sustainability. It produces in facilities with high energy efficiency.
Both mats in the starter series are made from recycled and biodegradable TPE. This environmentally friendly material does not contain toxic adhesives and chemical solvents.
