Assistive Yoga Mats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Hi-Tech and Smart Yoga Mat is Like Your Own Personal Yoga Guide

— October 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
This smart yoga mat makes it extremely easy to develop a personal yoga practice, without the need to attend expensive classes. Yoga is great to practice on your own at home, but if you're seeking help from a video, the practice may not be suited to your particular needs, and sometimes your neck ends up being craned in awkward positions in order to keep your eyes on the screen.

The SmartMat resolves several of these problems, serving as a mat that personally guides you through a practice with voice commands. The mat delivers audio commands through a smartphone or tablet, guided by the sensors embedded into the mat. This way, the hyper-sensitive mat is able to tell you where to put more or less weight, or slight adjustments that should be made to your position.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Yoga Mats - Smart yoga mats that provide personalized guidance through voice commands and embedded sensors.
2. At-home Yoga Practices - The rise of at-home yoga practices facilitated by advanced technology, eliminating the need for expensive classes.
3. Hyper-sensitive Mats - Yoga mats equipped with sensors capable of providing real-time feedback and adjustments to improve posture and technique.
Industry Implications
1. Fitness and Wellness - Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fitness and wellness industry through smart yoga mats and personalized at-home practices.
2. Sports Technology - Advancements in sports technology, particularly in yoga, through the development of hyper-sensitive mats and sensor-based yoga accessories.
3. E-commerce - E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the growing demand for at-home yoga equipment by offering a variety of smart yoga mats and accessories.
