The Brilliant Self-Rolling Yoga Mat You Didn’t Know You Needed

Your yoga practice is about to get even more relaxing, thanks to the self-rolling mat.
Created by fitness and yoga enthusiast Aaron Thornton, the YoYo Mat debuted via Kickstarter in August. Since then the project has raised more than $150,000 from yoga-loving supporters.
So just how does it work?
Loosely resembling those popular ’90s slap bracelets, the YoYo Mat stays super flat when in use and tightly rolls itself up when you’re finished. Each mat is designed with a bi-stable steel spring band, which causes only one side of the mat to roll up. The other side remains flat when clicked into place. When you’re ready to go, simply flip over and snap the mat to activate the auto-rolling feature.
Another perk: it’s made from a biodegradable closed cell material, so it doesn’t absorb sweat or germs.
The mats are set to ship in November and are currently available for pre-order for $79.
Now, if only Crow Pose was this easy…

Face-Lifts Don’t Really Boost Self-Esteem, Study Finds October 29, 2015 | By Health Editor Photo: Getty Images By Alan Mozes HealthDay Reporter THURSDAY, Oct. 29, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Face-lifts may smooth away years from a person’s appearance, but they seem to do little to boost self-esteem, new research suggests. In the small study, the researchers looked at what 50 patients — almost all of them women — said about their own sense of self-esteem, both immediately before plastic surgery and six months later. “The findings of the study are not surprising,” said lead author Dr. Andrew Jacono, a board certified plastic surgeon with the New York Center for Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery in New York City. “Because as I see it, self-esteem is much more complex than someone’s appearance. It’s rooted in a long developmental process that starts in childhood. So, to assume that what has taken a lifetime of work to develop could be changed by one simple operati...
