Tio Mat

Abstract

A yoga and exercise mat with different levels of thickness/padding along its width. The mat helps align user, provides foundation, gives user extra padding, and folds and rolls up in several new, unique ways. The raised edges and central strip of this new mat prevent slipping and provide user with guidance on proper alignment and foot and hand placement and distance.

1 . A generally rectangular, one-piece yoga mat comprised of two (2) or more different thicknesses across the width of the yoga mat. 
     
     
         2 . The thicker surfaces not only provide extra padding for users, but also assist users in achieving correct alignment and distancing during their practice, by providing helpful visual and tactile cues to keep their hands and feet at correct distances. 
     
     
         3 . The mat's raised edges at each end of the mat prevent slipping.
