When you first unpack and activate your SmartMat, it will take you through a "calibration" process. First and foremost, this involves you inputting some basic information such as gender, height, and weight.
On a deeper level, the calibration process will then ask you to lay down on SmartMat and it will take measurements to determine arm span and various ratios between your limbs.
Next up, SmartMat will take you through a series of "baseline" poses to determine your individual abilities and limitations. Once SmartMat has learned these things about you and your practice, it will record them in the baseline calibration setting so that it can give you intelligent and practical feedback during the heat of your sessions.
SmartMat can be used in three different modes, so you can mix and match depending on what you feel like that day. Remember, SmartMat is built to adapt to YOUR needs so you can choose whatever mode you're in the mood for.
The SmartMat Marketplace comes standard with numerous programs pre-configured for you to practice Yoga at your level.
From a beginners Morning Wake Up Flow or a gentle Yin Hip Openers class, to more advanced practices such as the Ashtanga Series, or Backbends and Spinal Twists, SmartMat has classes for all levels and needs of practice including some non-Yoga programs such as Tibetan Bowl Meditation and a few other surprises.
What is incredible is that the SmartMarketplace is a dynamic and growing entity that classes will be consistently added to.
After the initial release, SmartMat will invite a number of recognized teachers to develop individual SmartMat sequences in their own art and style. We call them "Yogrammers," and in addition to laying out the SmartClass sequencing, they record the class visual, audio and corrections so it is like they are right there in the room with you.
We consider ourselves Yogis first and foremost who just happen to be engineers and entrepreneurs.
When we set out to manifest SmartMat into reality, we understood that it would be a delicate dance between tradition and technology with the intention being that we could correctly honor the art of Yoga and Asana in a way that brings people closer to their bodies, maintaining the ancient teachings and intentions while being practical about alignment and balance within the practice.
