An exercise mat including a material sized and shaped to support at least one user body part thereon, the material having an upper planar surface, a single starting point representing a number zero on the upper planar surface, and at least two series of sequential integers disposed on the upper planar surface and extending from the single starting point. Each of the at least two series of sequential integers corresponding to a coordinate and placement site for a body part of a user to facilitate measurement of a linear distance along the upper planar surface.

A yoga mat comprising at least one folding depression which enables folding and rolling of a yoga mat so that the width of the mat is typically less than the shoulder width of the user of the yoga mat. The at least one folding depression is typically on the upper, user-contacting surface of the yoga mat. In instances where the overall thickness of the yoga mat is greater than about 0.35 inches, it is advisable to use a location matching folding depression on each side of the yoga mat. The folding depression may be deeper on the user-contacting surface than on the floor contacting surface of the yoga mat. In an alternative embodiment, the upper surface of the yoga mat may be a solid layer, with at least two underlying spaced lower sections to permit folding inward upon the solid layer.

Yoga mat devices which generally comprise a yoga mat having one or more storage compartment(s). Also disclosed are related methods of manufacture and use of such devices.

A prayer mat that includes a tactile sensor secured to a lower surface of the prayer mat in proximity to the middle of the prayer mat configured to generate an output signal in response to detecting a pressure from the knees of a user, a bow count indicator configured to generate a visible signal, and processing circuitry configured to determine whether the output signal is valid by comparing the output signal to a predetermined signal level stored in a memory, receive the output signal from the sensor, update a count in response to determining that the output signal is valid, and activate the bow count indicator.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated prayer rug system, comprising a rug comprising an NFC chip (or other RFID devices, Bluetooth, proximity sensors, or electronic thread technology) in communication with an interface device having a computer processor and memory storing computer code wherein the interface device has internet communication capability and is chosen from a smartphone, a computer, a tablet computer, or a smartwatch; and an app to capture information before, during or after each use of the system and which is utilized by the app to integrate with the user's overall health, exercise, and spiritual wellbeing.

An assembly, in one embodiment, comprising an exercise mat having a top layer and a bottom layer, and a towel is described. The top layer of the exercise mat is configured to have a first exposed surface. The towel comprises a first surface and second surface, the first surface configured to be coupled to the first exposed surface of the top layer of the exercise mat, the surface area of the towel being less than or equal to a surface area of the top surface of the exercise mat.

Various implementations of a towel for an exercise mat are described. The towel comprises a first surface and second surface, the first surface configured to be coupled to a first exposed surface of an exercise mat, the surface area of the first surface of the towel being less than or equal to a surface area of a first exposed surface of the exercise mat.

Some examples include a portable support pad constructed of nonwoven needlefelt, such as for relieving physical stress and fatigue endured from extended kneeling, sitting, lying and/or standing on rigid, flat, irregular, and/or un-even surfaces. The support pad constructed of the nonwoven needlefelt is flexible porous, absorptive, and chemically resistant to corrosive substances.

A portable prayer stool assembly having a housing with a bottom wall, a sidewall of a substantially rigid material, surrounding the bottom wall in an erect orientation relative to an upper surface of the bottom wall to define a height of the sidewall, and with sidewall disposed at each of two opposing side ends of the housing and tapering in height as the sidewall spans from a rear end toward a front end of the housing, and defining, with the bottom wall and the sidewall, a cushion receiving cavity. The assembly also includes a cushion member of a deformable material, selectively removably coupled to the housing, disposed within the cushion receiving cavity, and retained by the sidewall.
