If there was ever a hybrid between Twister and a kids yoga mat, it would be the Phresh Mat by Chi Universe.
This yoga mat for kids is paired with an app in order to gamify the postures. In order to make each move as easy as possible to understand, the mat features a series of vibrant shapes and colors so hands and feet can effortlessly be put in the right spot. Chi Universe products are so unique, they have even been recognized by Michelle Obama in her Let's Move! LA events in the fight against child obesity.
As well as appealing specifically to kids, there are a number of Phresh mats for teens and moms who want to tune up their practice as well.
