Circular yoga or exercise mat

United States Patent Application 20090093342

A yoga or exercise mat circular in form from between four feet and eight feet in diameter. The circular mat will allow the yoga practitioner to be able to perform various poses and exercises without having to step off or turn the mat during exercising. The circular Yoga mat will also provide for proper spacing of yoga students during classes as the circular form eliminates the problem of overlapping space for students and teachers. The circular yoga mat will greatly benefit the yoga or exercise practitioner by providing full coverage, padding and protection during exercising while at the same time providing and protecting the space and comfort of those using the mat.
