Claims9
A performance enhancing yoga mat comprising:
- a base layer having a top surface and bottom surface:
- a heat-sensitive imaging layer on the top surface of the base layer, the heat-sensitive imaging layer permitting registration of placement of one or more body parts of a practitioner using the yoga mat against an upper surface of the yoga mat due to the heat of the body part in contact being transferred to the heat-sensitive imaging layer;
- and
- a top protective layer having a top outer surface and bottom inner surface, the top protective layer secured on the yoga mat over the heat-sensitive imaging layer, the top protective layer comprising a heat activated connect surface that increases in tackiness when exposed to body heat from contact of body parts of a user against the top outer surface of the top protective layer.
