It is with great excitement and pleasure that I am writing to invite you to join the SmartMat Ambassador Program.
Become a Yoga Innovator (aka SmartMat Ambassador) and help usher in the new and exciting next level of Yoga practice that’s possible with SmartMat. This is an exclusive offer that is only being extended to a limited number of Yoga teachers that we believe embody the principles of SmartMat and lead a lifestyle of a Yoga Innovator. If you are interested in learning more, please let me explain.
My name is Neyma Jahan, and I am the CEO of SmartMat.
It was well over a year ago that I came up with the idea and started researching how one would go about making the world’s first responsive Yoga mat. With high precision sensors embedded in the mat itself, SmartMat is designed to give you feedback on your alignment and practice via your smart device (phone, tablet) with the intention of adjusting you real time as you go. This futuristic Yoga technology has the potential to completely transform your Yoga experience both at home and in the studio, and it’s happening now. To learn more about SmartMat and how it works, visit our blog here.
The SmartMat team is fully aware that this ground-breaking innovation is bound to cause a few ripples in the world of Yoga, and not everyone will embrace it. It’s important to us that people understand that as we practice Yoga ourselves, we respect the tenets of this ancient tradition, and don’t see that as being in contradiction to embracing this new innovative edge. In fact, we believe SmartMat could revolutionize the Yoga experience and bring the practice to so many more, perhaps reluctant souls. And many of you agree with us.
As we continue to grow our vision, we've set a firm intention to include the vibrant, wise, and diverse Yogis in our community to be part of this next evolution of the practice. And thus was born the SmartMat Ambassador Program of Yoga Innovators – a group of individuals who embody the beliefs that SmartMat was built upon and represent what we stand for as a company.
You are willing to go past your first reaction to something new.
Yoga Innovators stay open-minded and embrace change. You understand this to be as a necessary part of our evolution both personally and collectively
You always Stay Curious.
Yoga Innovators do not make a distinction between “the right way” or the “wrong way” to practice Yoga. You understand the value in staying curious about the many ways in which a person can get turned on to the beauty and power of this ancient tradition. You know what works for you may not work for another. You create space for all realities.
You make no assumptions.
Yoga Innovators are leaders in their community and take the seat of pioneer where others shy away. You may do this in big and small ways in your life, and in your practice. You embody that creative impulse that keeps our community thriving, the same creative impulse that inspired this next evolution of Yoga with SmartMat.
You question your habits.
Yoga Innovators embrace impermanence and challenge the status quo. They know their next stage of growth and evolution lies beyond their comfort zone.
You will be featured as an exclusive Yoga Innovator and Ambassador of SmartMat on our website. You will also be provided with an official badge and widget to include on your site to let your students know that you have been selected for this exclusive leadership role.
As an Ambassador, you will receive your FREE SmartMat ahead of all other users along with discounts and information to share with your community to allow you time to learn & innovate with your leadership.
As our gift to you, you will also receive the exclusive Smart Yoga Bag currently in production before anyone else so that you can let others know that you are an official member of the SmartMat team and an example of a Yoga Innovator in your community.
You will be invited to participate in the behind-the-scenes development and research department at SmartMat providing us with feedback on all our latest offerings and providing valuable insight into how to keep improving our product to best serve the community. (In many cases, you’ll get early release on new versions of SmartMat software at no additional cost and be included in on special deals only available to Yoga Innovators.)
If you feel inspired by SmartMat and embody the values we stand for, I invite you to apply to be a Yoga Innovator and Ambassador for SmartMat.
In your new role, you will become a recognized example of leadership and innovation within your Yoga community. And with your help, we can promote the launch of SmartMat and provide information to your students and community members about this revolutionary new product, especially during our upcoming Indiegogo campaign.
To apply for this exclusive role, please fill out the questionnaire and submit as soon as possible. Applications will be processed on a first come first serve basis, and limited spots are available. We are very much looking forward to having you as part of the SmartMat team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Namaste,
Neyma Jahan
