In an effort to help kids develop healthy habits at any early age, two parents from Detroit have launched an Indiegogo campaign for their line of SweetLime yoga mats. The mats not only help introduce children to yoga, but they also feature a special design that makes it easier for small bodies to practice different poses.
The SweetLime yoga mats were created by two parents who wanted to help one of their sons practice yoga. After an unsuccessful search for a child-size yoga mat made of high-quality materials, the parents set out to create their own. The result is SweetLime yoga mats, which are small in size and made from high-quality, eco-friendly TPE. The mats also feature fun designs that are engaging for children.
While the kids' yoga mats are not yet available for purchase, the product demonstrates the need to make activities such as yoga more accessible to younger audiences.
