The short version. There are three new floral designs. They arrive on two new mats, the KayaBloom Core Pro and Lite Pro, which carry all eight designs on a tan natural rubber base. A plain cork mat called Luna joins the Mudra for people who want no print. The cork block and the new Bloom tote come in all eight designs, so any mat can be matched piece for piece. And Earthbloom is now called Meadows. The details, honestly, below.
The three new designs
Maple
Crimson and amber maple leaves on a dark branch — rich, warm, and autumnal.
Indigo
Tall spires of blue larkspur with soft green leaves — cool, airy, and calm.
Daisy
Pink and cream wildflowers on fine, feathery stems — soft, open, and summery.
Like the five before them, each is original Kaya artwork printed into the cork with water-based ink rather than laid on top as a film, so the printed areas grip exactly like bare cork and nothing peels. All eight are shown together on the floral cork yoga mats page.
The Pro mats, and what "Pro" changes
The Core Pro is the 4.25 mm studio mat and the Lite Pro is the 2 mm foldable travel mat. Three things are different from the original Core and Lite. The base is tan natural rubber instead of dark. The mat is 72 × 26.8 inches, 0.8 inch wider than the original 72 × 26. And both Pro mats are made in all eight designs, where the Core is made in five and the Lite in three. The cork face, the thickness and the print method are the same.
| Mat | Thickness | Size | Base | Designs | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KayaBloom Core | 4.25 mm | 72 × 26 in | natural rubber | 5: Wildrose, Sunflower, Meadows, Blossom, Lotus | $159 |
| KayaBloom Core Pro | 4.25 mm | 72 × 26.8 in | tan natural rubber | 8: Lotus, Wildrose, Meadows, Blossom, Sunflower, Maple, Indigo, Daisy | $179 |
| KayaBloom Lite | 2 mm, folds | 72 × 26 in | natural rubber | 3: Wildrose, Sunflower, Meadows | $129 |
| KayaBloom Lite Pro | 2 mm, folds | 72 × 26.8 in | tan natural rubber | 8: Lotus, Wildrose, Meadows, Blossom, Sunflower, Maple, Indigo, Daisy | $149 |
| Kaya Luna | 4.25 mm | 72 × 26.8 in | tan natural rubber | Terra, no print | $189 |
Lite Pro currently out of stock in: Blossom.
How to choose, plainly. If you want Maple, Indigo or Daisy, it is a Pro mat; they are not made on the original lines. If you want one of the five original designs, the Core at $159 and the Core Pro at $179 practise the same; you are paying $20 for the tan base and the extra width. The same logic holds for the Lite at $129 against the Lite Pro at $149, with the Lite made in 3 designs. Our thickness guide covers studio mat versus travel mat if that is the open question.
Luna: a cork mat with no print
Some people want the cork and nothing else. Kaya Luna is a patchwork of natural cork panels in warm Terra on a tan natural rubber base, 4.25 mm and 72 × 26.8 inches, with no printed design, so every mat shows the cork's own grain and no two are identical. It is $189. The Mudra remains the other print-free mat, with a single engraved sunflower.
Matching pieces in all eight designs
The Bloom cork block ($39) and the new Bloom yoga tote ($89) are both made in all eight designs, so a Maple mat gets a Maple block and a Maple tote. The Mudra cork tote ($79) in warm Terra pairs with any of them, and a new jute carry strap ($12.99) slings a rolled mat over the shoulder for anyone who does not want a bag at all.

Earthbloom is now Meadows
One rename. The muted wildflower design we sold as Earthbloom is now called Meadows. The artwork has not changed, so a Meadows block matches an Earthbloom mat exactly; only the name on the page is new.
Eight designs. Pick the one that is yours.

What is the difference between KayaBloom Core and Core Pro?
Same thickness and the same FSC-certified Portuguese cork face. The Core Pro adds a tan natural rubber base, an extra 0.8 inch of width at 72 × 26.8 inches, and the three new designs, so it is made in all eight. The Core is made in five designs and costs $159 to the Core Pro's $179. If the design you want exists in both, the Core is the saving.
Is the tan base a different material?
It is natural rubber in a tan colour rather than a dark one. It does the same job: it keeps the mat flat and planted on hardwood, tile and studio floors.
Are Maple, Indigo and Daisy available on the original Core or Lite?
No. The three new designs are made on the Core Pro and Lite Pro mats, the cork block and the Bloom tote. The original Core and Lite keep their existing designs.
What is Kaya Luna?
Our plain cork mat: a patchwork of natural cork panels in warm Terra on a tan natural rubber base, 4.25 mm, 72 × 26.8 inches, with no printed design, so every mat shows the cork's own grain. It is $189. The Mudra remains the other print-free option, with its single engraved sunflower.
What happened to Earthbloom?
It is now called Meadows. The artwork is unchanged; only the name is new. Anything you own in Earthbloom matches the Meadows block, tote and mats exactly.
Do the new designs have matching blocks and totes?
Yes. The Bloom cork block and the Bloom yoga tote are both made in all eight designs, so a Maple, Indigo or Daisy mat can be matched piece for piece. The SoulWag pet mat is made in the original five designs.
