Begin Yoga Mat 5mm - Toxic-Free TPE

Manduka Toxic-Free Beginner Yoga Mat 

The Begin Mat is a comfortably cushioned, beginner-focused yoga mat that encourages confidence from the ground up. Its reversible and lightweight design features an alignment stripe to help guide poses.

The Begin Mat has a closed-cell surface, which will never absorb moisture. Because of this, if you are warm/sweaty at all, the mat will feel slippery, so we always recommend pairing it with one of our hand towels to absorb moisture and provide extra traction. For towel guidance read our guide to yoga towels.

Crafted in Taiwan from TPE.
