need help with my next yoga mat!

Ok, I have been practicing with my cheap, old, falling apart sticky mat for a long time. But I am not planning to take that poor thing with me to my teacher training… so I will need to get a new, good quality mat as soon as I arrive to New York City. However, I don’t really know which mats are the better ones and where I can fin them in NYC. Any suggestions will be appreciated very much!

Hi Ahu, I have a very good black mat. It is too heavy to carry it around as it weights 4 kg. I bought it at www.bausinger.de. They have a huge selection of good mats, also lighter ones.

The black mat is especially long and especially for Ashtangis.

thank you Ursula and Tiff. i guess i will try to find purple manduka, if not i will get a thick prana mat... the thing is i cannot mail order so i will look for a store that carries manduka mats or another good brand.

black manduka! so much cheaper to buy in america too! i have been using the purple one for well over a year, and shall still use it for going to class and travel, but it is a little narrow and short, especially for jump throughs and chakarasana....so i recently bought the black one...it's great!! treat yourself to the long black manduka, as long as you don't intend to carry it everyday....mine stays at home....and is wonderful for keeping the flow of ashtanga, without worrying what your mat is doing! who's teacher training are you doing in NY?
