Li Ming Hsing is trying to make the time spent waiting at traffic lights more productive with the Yoga Traffic Light. The Yoga Traffic Light is designed exactly like a regular traffic light except that it shows yoga poses during red lights.
Living in the city means spending a lot of time waiting for crosswalk lights to turn green. While it may not seem like that long, the time spent waiting for a light to turn green does start to add up, especially if you walk everywhere. The Yoga Traffic Light turns what would be wasted time into a fun mini yoga session. I think everyone could benefit from a little downward facing dog and flamingo pose in between green lights. Yoga studios, watch your backs.
