Dr. Splichal is Back!

Our favorite Podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal is back! 

After founding the Evidence Based Fitness Academy (EBFA), which has quickly become the global leader in barefoot education, Dr. Splichal is back with a new product.

Introducing the first-ever yoga mat specifically designed to stimulate the small nerve proprioceptors in the bottom of the feet and palms of the hands. Numerous research studies have demonstrated that the material used in current yoga mats actually de-activates and blocks the proprioceptors in the feet and hands. This translates to decreased stability and neuro-feedback during yoga exercises. The unique texture and enhanced grip of Dr. Emily's mat using Naboso Technology makes this the perfect mat for hot yoga or poses that require increased balance and stability. 

Naboso (meaning "barefoot" in Czech) is a material designed to specifically stimulate the small nerve proprioceptors in the bottom of the feet. From skin stretch to vibration and texture the plantar foot is sensitive to very specific stimuli - stimuli which if integrated into our training can ultimately improve our stability, strength and coordination.
