Beacon: Smart Mat for Interactive Yoga

Yoga can be quite beneficial for your body and health, in general. If you are planning to try it, you need to make sure you learn poses the right way. Not everyone has time to attend yoga classes or deal with a private instructor. You could always pick up yoga training apps for iPhone & iPad to help you learn new moves. The Beacon happens to be a cool smart mat that could take your yoga sessions to the next level. It provides you with interactive guidance and connects to your laptop or smartphone via a USB cable or Bluetooth.

This smart mat has embedded LEDs and pressure sensors to show you how to do each pose correctly. When you see red, that means you are applying too much pressure. Molly Duffy, a recent graduate of MIT, is behind this nifty idea. Pair this with a sophisticated yoga training app, and you have an awesome yoga solution at hand.
