These yoga mat creations are little ways in which the new-school fitness industry is working to stay relevant and eco-chic.
The boom in popularity when it comes to the practice of yoga has been around for a long time, and doesn't appear to be going anywhere. With this increased interest has come an appropriately more stylized style of yoga gear, all in the name of increasing both profits and usability when it comes to products.
Able to be used for other exercises as well, yoga mats are wonderfully multifunctional, albeit a bit awkwardly shaped and difficult to travel with. Many innovations in this industry have been in the name of more portable design, and the innovative solutions created reflect this consumer demand.
