Fitness Craze: Yantra Mat

What will be thought of next? The June edition of Fitness magazine highlights the Yantra Mat- a spiked mat that claims to stimulate blood flow, sooth back pain, and relieve anxiety. You didn’t read wrong- this is a spiked mat. The Yantra (Yan meaning form, tra meaning free) is similar to acupuncture, with the spikes reaching pressure points helping to relieve pain and pressure put on the body. While reading the testimonials, it looks like the majority of people did experience some discomfort the first few times laying on the mat, but eventually they were feeling more pain free! I am always having back pain, and with the Yantra not being too pricey ($59) I think I would want to purchase one and try it out for myself!
