The concept of the seven chakras originates from ancient Indian traditions and practices. According to this belief system, the human body has seven main energy centers, or chakras, which are believed to be located along the spine. Here is a list of the seven chakras, starting from the base of the spine and moving upwards:

1. Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine, associated with grounding and stability.
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Located in the lower abdomen, associated with creativity and sexuality.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Located in the upper abdomen, associated with personal power and confidence.
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata): Located in the center of the chest, associated with love, compassion, and emotional well-being.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Located in the throat, associated with communication and self-expression.
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Located between the eyebrows, associated with intuition and spiritual awareness.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Located at the top of the head, associated with spiritual connection and higher consciousness.

About the Material

We know our mats are heavy, grippy and made to last. We made these mats for yoga practitioners of all levels looking for a high-end mat that they can be proud of. The Polyurethane rubber provides the ultimate combination of grip and breathability.

They are hot yoga ready, as the material is very easy to clean with a little soap and water. You will have no problem staying on the mat even when things get sweaty and mobile.

Our mats are 5mm thick, which is thicker than most regular mats so they are quite comfortable. Thick enough to do headstand on, but thin enough that they don’t take away from your flow. They weigh 7 lbs, so they aren’t necessarily a backpacking mat, but with the right carrier bag it should be no problem.

In addition to being made of the highest end rubber we could source; this rubber is biodegradable and eco-friendly. The majority of yoga mats on the market usually under the $60 price range, are made from PVC. PVC is made from highly toxic chemical plasticizer and will never degrade (similar to plastic waste). PVC is made from many toxic materials such as cadmium, lead, chlorine and even mercury, so it’s important to get a mat that is safe for you, and the environment.

These mats are capable of degrading in a landfill after 5 years because they are made from petrochemical-based polymers, making them much more eco-friendly than PVC.
