WHAT IS A PRESSURE SENSITIVE MAT?
A pressure sensitive yoga mat senses the pressure being applied by limbs touching the surface of the mat. It then translates these pressure patterns into visual imagery that illustrates on a screen what the mat “sees”.
WHY IS THIS UNIQUE?
You can visualise how your body interacts with the your mat.
WHY IS THIS UNIQUE?
Know if one side of your body presses harder than the other.
WHY IS THIS UNIQUE?
Know if your hand, forearm, foot, neck or head distribute your body weight correctly.
Each asana generates its own
unique pressure pattern

WHY IS THIS USEFUL?
INJURY PREVENTION
Even in simple asanas, unevenly distributed weight, repeated over 100’s of practices, can cause severe and long lasting injuries.
Have you ever had a sore neck after your Plow, Shoulder Stand or Head Stand? Are you incorrectly distributing your body weight between shoulders, neck, arms and head?
How can you make corrections in these inversions, if you can’t visualise the results?
With yomat, you can experiment with adjustments and observe in real time the effect they have on your alignment and weight distribution.
IMPROVES ASANA EXECUTION
Incorrect weight distribution prevents many advanced postures from being achieved, particularly in arm balances and inversions.
