Happy Baby Pose Everyone: There is Now a Self-Rolling Yoga Mat

If there is one thing more annoying in yoga than some sweaty klutz directly in front of you losing their balance every 3 minutes during the Saturday morning hangover class, it’s having to roll up your mat after a peaceful Shavasana.

It gives you true appreciation for the “artists” behind the counters at Chipotle.

But if things go well for YoYo Mats and their current kickstarter campaign, yoga might just get even more relaxing than it already is.

Check out this goodness:

Yes. Just, yes.

According to their kickstarter page, Aaron Thornton, the inventor, got his stroke of inspiration from snap-on wristbands. From there, Aaron, his co-founder Dino May, and their friend Yu Tsai, a creative director at a graphic design studio, spent a year in warrior one knocking out details.

By the end of it, they had themselves a US Utility Patent and “The World’s Only Self-Rolling Fitness & Yoga Mat” that also stays flat while extended: The YoYo Mat.

Their fundraising campaign wraps up on October 16th and having raised about $26,400 so far, they are just past the half-way mark to their goal of $50K.

So don’t just sit in chair pose. If you’re a dedicated yogi or just a general exercise enthusiast, this is one startup you might want to help get – wait for it – rolling.
