yogaNot sure if you are getting your moves right while doing yoga in the morning? Soon, your mat could act as your personal trainer and guide you. Currently only a concept product, the ‘Tera’ mat is embedded with LED lights and sensors that both track the user and guide them through fitness routines. Developed by a Munich-based company Lunar Europe, the Tera syncs with an app that can instruct and track progress for activities including yoga, capoeira, and more.

The LED lights then react to this information, and illuminate to show the user where to position their hands. If they make a wrong move, for example, if weight is not evenly distributed, the lights start flashing. At the end of a workout, the mat made from fine wool logs the user’s progress, and cumulative data helps it develop individualised workouts. Lunar has not announced how much the Tera will cost or when it will be released to the public, Daily Mail reported.

What is yoga?

Yoga has its roots in the ancient texts like the Vedas and the Upanishads. Technically speaking it’s a Hindu spiritual discipline though parts of it, like breath control, mediation and other body postures are practiced by many for weight loss, better health and to get rid of stress. Today it’s become something of a fad and has spawned exercise regimes like power yoga and hot yoga. It’s also a popular form of alternative therapy to treat various ailments. Yogis claim that treatments have benefited patients of autism, asthma and even cancer as they make the body more receptive to cure and healing. On The Health Site, you’ll find everything you ever needed to know about yoga including the various yoga asanas, the various health benefits, asanas for a better sex life and how it helps battle ailments likediabetes, stress and depression, arthritis, belly fat and even menstrual pain.
