Smart phone, smart homes, and now say hello to SmartMat – an awesome, new fitness apparatus that won’t make you feel guilty for skipping yoga class. God bless technology!
Wondering what’s so smart about it? Yoga practitioners are always looking for ways to monitor their balance and position. The SmartMat not only doubles as a yoga instructor, but it also pairs with your phone and guides you through different asanas.
The works
The SmartMat is a yoga mat with high-tech sensors, which gives you feedback on poses by sending pressure data to an app on your mobile phone. It helps you perfect your poses by suggesting corrections to your alignment and balance levels with its advanced sensor technology and real-time feedback.
The mat will take your body’s measurements, for instance, your arm span (when you lie down on the mat) which it will then monitor during practice. So, if you are making a mistake or if you are not flexible enough the mat corrects you by offering suggestions.
These suggestions can be in the form of visuals or audio notes, based on your preference. All you have to do is connect the mat to your phone via Bluetooth.
What’s in it for you?
The SmartMat app can be programmed for various skill levels and goals. It has options like weight loss, toning, private mode, zen mode and more. The app lets you store, track and monitor your progress, which helps you better your performance.
The smart mat is definitely more expensive than the traditional rubber mat but to walk around with your personal instructor, who has a host of other features, is totally worth it! Besides, you’ll save on all those yoga classes you don’t have to go to anymore.
If you’d like to own this intelligent one-of-a-kind SmartMat, you can pre-order it here.
