THE MANDUKA STORY Manduka is a multi-national enterprise specialized in making yoga mats, yoga towels, props, mat carriers, and apparel. Manduka is unrivaled in the marketplace and used by yoga pros and yogis of all abilities in more than 35 countries worldwide. A decade ago, Peter Sterios, an architect turned yogi, discovered a simple, elegantly designed black mat offering a unique combination of firm grip and unparalleled support that revolutionized his yoga practice. He sought to share this amazing product with others, and in the great yoga tradition, yoga teachers around the world shared with their students, and a true yoga company was born. Today, Manduka creates high-performance yoga mats, yoga towels, bags, props, and men's and women's fitness apparel.
