The Yoga Mat Reinvented

Project details match catalog

About

Why are yoga mats flat? Created in the 1980s, the modern yoga mat is not a continuation of ancient tradition, but the brainchild of a British yoga teacher with family connections to rug pads. With love, we ask whether this slippery, rubber rectangle has reached its full potential? Inspired by the original yogis who practiced on the contours of bare earth, we've added ergonomic acupressure ridges to stabilize and elevate a yogis practice from the very first pose.

Impact

Due to a low barrier of entry, tens of millions practice yoga. Slips and injuries are growing too. Our recyclable materials and innovative design minimizes waste and maximizes fun, stability and well-being for yogis world-wide.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
