Yogis Are Now Hi-Tech

Juniper Foo | Sep 18, 2007

There's something oddly lost in translation with the title of designer Hui-Zong Chen's new-age yoga mat concept. It's a neato idea no doubt, with an exercise mat that rolls out complete with built-in MP3 player, stereo speakers and even what seems to be electronic paper-type video playback. However, Chen probably never took up yoga as the exercise requires mediated harmony of the senses. Can't have all those distractions around, hey? Not to mention that it all looks pretty darn uncomfortable to practice on. On the other hand, if it had a turbo boosters built into the metal pole and some high-weave Moroccan threads for decoration, this might well turn out to be the perfect souped-up flying carpet for Aladdin. A whole new world, yeah...
