Abstract
A yoga mat is provided having a symmetrical body placement guide on an upper surface of the mat. The body placement guide is configured to aid a yoga practitioner to properly align the practitioner's body during yoga postures. The body placement guide includes a patterned design defining a longitudinal axis substantially extending the length of and bisecting the upper surface of the mat. The patterned design also defines a transverse axis bisecting the longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis and transverse axis define four equal quadrants. Each quadrant is adjacent to other quadrants, the pattern design in each quadrant being a mirror image of the pattern design of the two adjoining quadrants. The pattern design also includes step indicia within each quadrant.
Claims15
A yoga mat, comprising:
- an elongated mat having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- a symmetrical body placement guide on the upper surface of the mat and configured to aid a yoga practitioner to properly align the practitioner's body during yoga postures, the body placement guide including:
- a patterned design defining a longitudinal axis substantially extending the length of and bisecting the upper surface, the patterned design further defining a transverse axis bisecting the longitudinal axis, and indicia positioned from the longitudinal axis at a forty-five degree angle comprises a line extending from the longitudinal axis at a forty-five degree angle;
- and
- four equal quadrants defined by the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis, each quadrant being adjacent to two other quadrants, the patterned design in each quadrant being a mirror image of the patterned design of the two adjoining quadrants.
