Would you buy a US$100,000 Chakracarma yoga mat studded with rubies, emeralds and diamonds?

Ever wondered what it would be like to say “namaste” while sitting on a US$100,000 yoga mat? For all those Hong Kong yogis looking for something a little extra, there is possibly no yoga mat more exclusive, more sensuous – or more expensive – than the Chakracarma.

The Chakracarma yoga mat, priced from US$15,000 to US$100,000 depending on customisation, is made from the finest vegetable-tanned leather and studded with ethically sourced precious gemstones.

The leather will develop its own patina with extended use, offering an aesthetically pleasing character with time. The mat also comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Importantly, Chakracarma, which has locations in Los Angeles and Dubai, notes that the fitness accessory is not simply a luxury for “luxury’s sake”; rather, the gemstones are specially picked and studded on the leather in a way that aligns with one’s chakras, or energy centres.

Based on ancient Hindu meditation practices, the seven chakras or focal points in our body can be cultivated or energised to bring about different effects. Traditionally visualised as a lotus, they are seen on the Chakracarma mat as gemstone-studded lotus petals.

Rubies represent the first chakra, which keeps you grounded and ensures physical well-being. Carnelian stones are aligned to represent the second chakra, which works on cultivating your passion, creativity and sense of self-love.

The other chakra fields are represented by opals, amber stones, emeralds and sapphires. Diamonds, which start at 0.70ct on the mat, symbolise the sahasara, or “crown chakra”: your mystical centre or pure consciousness.

Of course, if you think you need more “oneness with the universe”, Chakracarma offers complete customisation on the number of carats for diamonds and other gemstones.

Owners can also opt for personalised dedications and engravings, making the fitness accessory the ultimate, one-of-a-kind collectible.
