Review: Kino Pro Mat

Kino Pro Mat Review

Most traditional yoga mats are an excellent surface for practice, although made with PVC (polyvinyl chloride).  The Kino Pro Mat is made with 90% non-toxic PVC and 10% polyester mesh and contains no toxic chemicals.

This mat is good for all types of yoga, especially popular with Ashtanga Yoga practices.  It has a slip-resistant surface and remains consistently firm and flat on all floor types. It has an excellent non-sticky grip.  The Kino Pro Mat will last a long time, as it is extremely durable.  The texture is comfortable and I feel very grounded when I practice on it. It is possible to practice some of the most challenging asanas, without worry about slipping or sliding around.

High performance, tough and long lasting ... 

Price: $65.00
