This triad of symbolism is the cornerstone of the mystic yoga mat vision. The Lotus, Buddha and Flower of Life are all components of the journey towards enlightenment. Something unique to mystic yoga mats is our focus on the top of the mat. A lot of time is spent looking there, so we thought adding the Flower of life at the top would help deepen our practice. Sacred geometry is always beneficial during meditations and yoga, as the symbols help our brain connect to a higher level of consciousness.

The lotus is often revered for its ability to emerge from muddy and murky waters and blossom into a stunning flower. This transformation is seen as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment, purity, and the journey of the soul. In various belief systems and religions, the lotus symbolizes divine beauty, grace, and rebirth.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, the lotus holds great importance. It is associated with deities such as Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Buddha, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. The lotus flower is often depicted in art, architecture, and religious iconography, showcasing its sacred significance.

Moreover, the lotus is revered for its multi-layered petals, which are believed to represent different stages of consciousness and spiritual growth. The lotus is also associated with concepts of detachment, resilience, and transcendence, as its petals remain untouched by the water in which it grows.

Overall, the lotus is celebrated for its exquisite beauty and profound symbolism, reminding us of the potential for growth, transformation, and spiritual realization that exists even in challenging circumstances.

About the Material

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 gives yogis 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.
