Yoga is huge in San Diego! It seems like a new yoga inspired studio is popping up on every corner of La Jolla, Pacific Beach and off course Ocean Beach! Most of us are used to the traditional yoga mat; however, I would like to introduce you to The Yantra Mat.
The Yantra Mat (a "spike mat") features 8,800 acupressure points that help alleviate back pain, stress, and other issues like insomnia and fatigue. The Yantra Mat is for the yoga enthusiast interested in spicing up their routine, as well as people looking to alleviate their everyday stress, help their insomnia, and soothe their back pain and other ailments.
The Yantra Mat, a gentler version of the ancient Indian nail bed, is studded with 8,800 non-toxic ABS plastic spikes. The spikes feel sharp, but with your body's weight distributed evenly over the mat, an intense sensation quickly gives way to a comforting rush of heat. This natural response to acupressure comes from increased circulation, which lowers blood pressure and soothes aches and pains. Within minutes, this improved blood flow triggers a deep sense of relaxation.
By provoking the body's alert response, The Yantra Mat "tricks" the brain into releasing endorphins and oxytocin, your natural pain-relieving and "feel-good" hormones.
I have a feeling this summer we are going to be seeing the San Diego beaches covered with yantra mats!
Stay Stylist!
