Our Story:
In 1997, Peter Sterios, a yoga instructor and architect, discovered a simple, elegantly designed black mat whose combination of firm grip and complete support revolutionized his yoga practice. This mat came to be known as the Black Mat PRO, which is a German-made, high-performance yoga mat, and to this day the Black Mat PRO continues to be the foundation of Manduka.
The name Manduka was chosen as an homage to his teacher and mentor, Shandor Remete, whose core practice and teachings always included Mandukasana, or frog pose. The first time Peter heard and repeated the name of the pose, he experienced a sense of childlike joy and delight as the sound rolled off his tongue. The word and the pose were mirror images, simultaneously playful and profound. The joy of Manduka is now spoken in so many countries, all over the world.
The quality and performance of Manduka mats and yoga accessories are unmatched in the marketplace. Designed by yogis and trusted by teachers worldwide, carefully selected and sustainable materials are paired with thoughtful design to create innovative products that allow a community across the globe to deepen their practice.
