Two art mats, one practical decision
The Chakra Bliss and Symbolism yoga mats share the same construction and dimensions, so your choice comes down to the artwork and how you want your mat to feel in your space. Both are made by hand in the USA, ship in 7–10 business days, and carry a 30-day Love-it-Or-Money-Back Guarantee. If you are weighing a chakra yoga mat against a symbolic art yoga mat, the functional differences are minimal—but the design meaning and price differ.
What actually differs between the two mats
- Design theme: Chakra Bliss centers on chakra symbolism, while Symbolism explores broader symbolic imagery. Neither design's full visual meaning is detailed in the supplied information, so choose based on the theme that resonates with your practice.
- Price: Chakra Bliss is listed at USD 112.50 (compared to USD 150.00), and Symbolism at USD 93.75 (compared to USD 125.00). Both are currently discounted from their comparison prices.
- Artist proceeds: The Chakra Bliss mat specifies that 20% of proceeds go to the featured artist. The Symbolism listing does not mention artist proceeds in the supplied information.
- Construction and grip: Both use the same soft rubberized surface that grips wet and dry, a 3 mm natural tree-based rubber base, and a total thickness of 3.5 mm. Both weigh 5.5 lbs.
Shared specs that matter for your practice
-
"Chakra Bliss" Yoga Mat: 5.5 lbs; 72” long; 26.25” wide; 3.5 mm thick. These dimensions match the Symbolism mat, so size and weight won't be a deciding factor between the two.
"Chakra Bliss" Yoga Mat
-
"Symbolism" Yoga Mat: 5.5 lbs; 72” long; 26.25” wide; 3.5 mm thick. Identical dimensions to Chakra Bliss mean you can compare designs without worrying about fit differences.
"Symbolism" Yoga Mat
-
"Chakra Bliss" Yoga Mat: Soft rubberized and durable surface that grips wet and dry. Grip is consistent across both mats, so hot yoga or sweaty practices are equally supported.
-
"Symbolism" Yoga Mat: Soft rubberized and durable surface that grips wet and dry. The same grip technology applies, so your choice can focus on aesthetics and price.
Grip and sweat: what to expect from both
Both mats are designed to grip in dry and hot practices, but the manufacturer notes that heavy sweaters may find too much sweat results in the need for a towel. The surface cures in sunlight after sitting overnight, creating the unique grippy feel these mats are known for. If you practice hot yoga or sweat heavily, plan to bring a towel regardless of which design you choose.
Cleaning and care: identical routines
Both mats are easy to clean: simply wipe down with soap, diluted vinegar, or any natural cleaning product, or spray off with a hose. The surface is not a dull fabric that traps dirt—it's a durable rubberized texture that protects the artwork. Neither mat requires special treatments beyond this simple routine.
Design and durability: art that lasts
The artwork on both mats is printed using dye sublimation on a polymer layer, then bonded with a bio-derived polyurethane applied by hand. This method produces vibrant, long-lasting art that won't fade or peel with proper care. Both mats are free of PVC, phthalates, and other toxic materials, and are made with renewable energy and upcycled materials. The Chakra Bliss mat explicitly supports the featured artist with 20% of proceeds, which may appeal if you value direct artist support.
Which printed yoga mat should you choose?
If you want a chakra-themed design and like knowing that a portion of your purchase supports the artist, the Chakra Bliss yoga mat is the clear pick. If you prefer symbolic art that is more open to interpretation and want to save USD 18.75, the Symbolism yoga mat is the better value. Both offer the same grip, dimensions, and care requirements, so your decision can rest on design meaning and price.
