  • Body support structure with focal implements for aiding in mental focus, balance, and body alignment
    Patent number: 9623277
    Abstract: A Yoga mat with a main body having an upper surface and a plurality of Drishti points at the upper surface of the Yoga mat body. The Drishti points are symmetrically spaced along a perimeter edge of the upper surface. The Drishti points are within a perimeter border region of the upper surface. The Drishti point can be carried by a discrete body that is selectively engagable with and disengagable from the Yoga mat body for allowing Drishti points of different design configuration. The upper surface of the Yoga mat body can be configured with one or more inferred lines, which can be aligned with one or more of the Drishti points. The upper surface can also include one or more centrally located symmetric alignment features, which can be aligned with one or more of the Drishti points and/or one or more of the inferred lines.
