Manduka is much more than just yoga gear. Founder Peter Sterios chose the name Manduka in homage to the ancient yoga pose Mandukasana or frog. 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 joy of Manduka is now spoken in more than 35 countries all over the world and the quality and performance of Manduka mats and yoga accessories are still unmatched in the marketplace.
