Someone has finally created a yoga mat that rolls itself up when you're done

Schlepping a yoga mat to and from a session can be a hassle. Mats have a tendency to unravel at inopportune times, and always seem to take up more room than they should.

But now a new yoga mat, currently over halfway to its $50,000 Kickstarter goal with 38 days to go, aims to solve both these problems.

YoYo Mat's creators bill it as the world's first self-rolling yoga mat, and though it looks a bit silly, it seems undeniably useful.

The mat stays flat while you are practicing yoga and then snaps back into a tightly rolled form when you are done. All you have to do is click a button.
