"A decade ago, it seemed as though the high-tech smart yoga mat revolution was poised to arrive. The TERA Mat, the Glow Mat, and the SmartMat were widely anticipated and rumored to change the game with embedded lights designed to indicate "proper" alignment. The same benefits one could get from a yoga teacher were purportedly reduced to pressure sensors and LEDs."
"The one that does exist, however, is largely different than past iterations. The YogiFi Smart Mat offers postural adjustments based on sensors, guided video sequences via its app, and the ability to track your balance and flexibility over time. It's an entirely different approach to yoga. Whether or not it's for you depends on several factors, including your preferences, needs, and budget."
"The YogiFi Smart Mat picks up where the high-tech mat companies of a decade ago left off. It's essentially a yoga mat with built-in sensors and a charging port near the top that's a little longer and slimmer than a sunglasses case. You'll also need the YogiFi app, which comes stocked with different guided practices, assessments, programs, and meditations. Launched in 2020, YogiFi is now on its third generation of Smart Mat."
A decade ago several smart yoga mats like the TERA Mat, Glow Mat, and SmartMat promised embedded lights and sensors for alignment and tracking but failed to persist on the market. By 2026 few yoga-specific high-tech mats exist; some products like the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Pro mat focus on restorative infrared and PEMF therapy rather than yoga instruction. The YogiFi Smart Mat uses built-in sensors, AI-powered posture alignment, and an app with guided video sequences, assessments, programs, and meditations. YogiFi launched in 2020 and is in its third generation. The mat tracks balance and flexibility over time and requires users to evaluate preferences, needs, and budget.
