Every product has a story—but when it comes to your yoga mat, that story becomes part of your journey. At Yoga With Nati, we set out to create something more than just a surface to practice on. We wanted to craft a tool of transformation, rooted in intention, sustainability, and spiritual connection. The result? Our Chakra Circle Yoga Mats. In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes of how these mats were born, what makes them different, and how they’re designed to support your practice on every level—physical, emotional, and energetic.
1. The Inspiration Behind the Chakra Circle Mats
The idea began with a simple question: What if a yoga mat could do more than support your body? What if it could align your energy, too?
Inspired by the seven chakras—the body’s energy centers—we envisioned a mat that was both functional and spiritual:
- Color and design to help you focus and align.
- Natural materials to keep your body connected to the earth.
- A circle motif to symbolize wholeness, unity, and the cyclical nature of healing.
🌀 The Chakra Circle is more than a pattern—it’s a portal for intention-setting, self-awareness, and balance.
2. The Chakra Connection: Aligning Mind, Body & Energy
Each Chakra Circle Mat features an artistic representation of the seven chakras, aligned through the center of the mat to guide your flow.
Chakra | Element | Location | Mat Connection |
---|---|---|---|
Root (Muladhara) | Earth | Base of spine | Grounding in standing poses |
Sacral (Svadhisthana) | Water | Lower belly | Creativity and hip openers |
Solar Plexus (Manipura) | Fire | Upper abdomen | Core work and confidence |
Heart (Anahata) | Air | Chest | Backbends and compassion |
Throat (Vishuddha) | Sound | Throat | Breathwork and expression |
Third Eye (Ajna) | Light | Forehead | Focus in balancing poses |
Crown (Sahasrara) | Spirit | Top of head | Meditation and unity |
Each practice becomes a moving meditation, activating energy centers one pose at a time.

5. Behind the Scenes: From Sketch to Studio
Creating these mats took over a year of development. From sourcing eco-conscious suppliers to testing countless textures and designs, we made sure every decision aligned with our values:
- We rejected PVC and synthetic rubbers despite lower costs.
- We worked with independent artists to design chakra-inspired visuals.
- We ensured that our packaging is recyclable and minimal.
And most importantly—we tested them. On real bodies. In real flows.
6. How to Use the Chakra Circle Mat in Practice
Try these chakra-based practices to deepen your experience:
- Root chakra day: Focus on mountain pose, squats, and breath into your feet.
- Heart chakra day: Practice camel pose, supported fish, and affirm self-love.
- Crown chakra day: Meditate at the top of your mat with legs crossed and spine tall.
By tuning in to the energy centers, your practice becomes more than movement—it becomes a spiritual reset.
