This self-rolling yoga mat uses nostalgic technology to modernize the yoga mat. Yoga mats have a simple function and are used often by yoga connoisseurs -- and now this mat takes away the unorganized nature of the traditional mat.
The 'YoYo Mat' features the same benefits of a traditional yoga mat but also uses nostalgic technology to update the design. The YoYo Mat looks and feels the same as a conventional foam yoga mat -- ensuring a similar experience in terms of weight and comfort. The ingeniousness is the metal strips at the end of the mat that make this a self-rolling yoga mat. Just simply lift the mat and the metal strips will cause the mat to roll up like an old 'Snap' bracelet.
