Hi, I’m Tom.  15 years ago I started my Yoga practice because I had back pain.  Not only has Yoga kept me pain free all these years, but it is so much more.  It helps me stay calm, wise, and in touch.  I love everything about yoga except for the mat.

Have you ever used a product even though you knew it wasn’t for you?  That’s what yoga mats feel like to me.  They are too small for me.  They are too short for my old-man down dog and too narrow for my up dog.    Unless I spent a small fortune, they are also too thin for my old bones.

I know that I’m not alone.  After all, Yoga isn’t just for small people.  16% of yoga practitioners are men and even tall women must be frustrated by a mat designed for 5 foot tall people.
