What is she holding here?
Post-pandemic life has accelerated the “hybrid fitness” model—an approach to exercise that meets the new demands of a new lifestyle blurring the lines between home and work. Fitness giants, like Orange Theory and Soul Cycle, have created products to meet this hybrid model, such as maintaining digital offerings or the Soul Cycle At-Home Bike, but I wanted to introduce you to a new player in the industry with a unique take on hybrid fitness.
YogiFi is the first smart yoga mat on the market, equipped with a built-in innovative sensor layer to track and offer suggestions to help correct form in real-time. The YogiFi mat’s AI offers the in-studio feel to elevate at-home yoga practice AND instructors are able to sync their mats with their students to track their progress and continue their business, no matter the location.

How did it start?
Founded in 2016 and launched in 2020, Founder Murali Somisetty was inspired to create YogiFi after yoga had cured his chronic debilitating back pain. After practicing as a certified yoga instructor, he realized people were inconsistent in attending classes, due to busy work schedules, family commitments, etc. So, he thought, “what if a yoga mat could talk to you and guide you step-by-step like a yoga instructor? What if we could program the mat to learn various postures using AI?” Thus, the birth of YogiFi.
