Ultra-Compact Yoga Mats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Portable Banale Mat Rolls to Roughly the Same Size as a Water Bottle

— October 3, 2018 — Lifestyle
While there have been many travel-friendly yoga mats introduced over the years, the Banale Mat is truly a standout as a super compact yoga mat that shrinks down to the same size as a 64-ounce water bottle—as such, once rolled up, the mat can easily be attached to a bike, strapped on the back or latched onto a bag.

The first-of-its-kind all-natural yoga mat does away with a big, bulky design and instead favors a sleek form that also includes smart details like a sleek, waterproof shell. Due to this feature, the natural rubber travel yoga mat does not need a bag, as it protects itself.

In terms of the mat itself, the material is resistant to water and scratches with a closed cell design that offers a great amount of grip.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Yoga Mats - Developing ultra-compact and highly portable yoga mats can appeal to people on the go and travelers.
2. All-natural Yoga Mats - An all-natural travel yoga mat can attract environmentally conscious consumers and health enthusiasts who value non-toxic materials.
3. Self-protecting Yoga Mats - Yoga mats that come with a waterproof and scratch-resistant shell can address the need for storage options and protective covers.
Industry Implications
1. Sporting Goods Industry - Companies in this industry can innovate by creating a line of portable and eco-friendly yoga mats that meet the needs of active individuals.
2. Travel Industry - Travel companies can offer the Banale Mat to customers who want to maintain a yoga practice while on-the-go.
3. Outdoor Gear Industry - Companies specializing in outdoor gear can create rugged yoga mats that cater to adventure-seekers and campers.
