in line with Aaron Thornton and Yu Tsai, you’re all idiots. that you would be able to’t even roll up your yoga mat with out shedding it onto the dirty street, and getting the issues into the trunk of your automobile is totally past your tiny mind. Their Kickstarter pitch video is like that scene from Zoolander the place the models are in a fuel station spraying petrol all over the place each and every different.
Their resolution, for all you yoga morons, is the YoYo self-rolling yoga mat. it can be highly neat. It’s just about like a standard yoga mat, best a bit wider. the extra width contains a pair of strips that run the length of every facet. These work like metallic tape measures, staying straight when laid out flat however curling up on themselves as soon as they are given a nudge. to forestall this from taking place while you work out, the “concave” side is laid face down. To roll it up, you flip it and let it roll itself closed. The strips also keep the mat rolled, so that you don’t desire a strap, and this on my own may well be well worth the asking worth.
in contrast to a number of novelty yoga mats, this one appears to do its job. It has the requisite grippy surfaces so it sticks to the floor and also stops you from slipping, nevertheless it’s also thick sufficient: Too thin, and a yoga mat gained’t give protection to the fragile bones for your ankle or backbone while you’re striking weight on them. It’s additionally produced from TPE, which our analysis displays is nearly universally most well-liked to cheaper PVC.
And the YoYo Mat isn’t low cost. The Kickstarter needs a $seventy nine pitch to preorder one unit. you might make a decision to simply learn to roll up your mat properly instead.
