Dr. Emily Splichal Kicks Off Media Tour With A Pre-NYFW "Catwalk" Fitness Class

January 30, 2017 (New York, NY) - World-renowned Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist and Fitness Media Expert Dr. Emily Splichal aka Dr. Legs, the woman who taught Oprah how to walk properly in her heels on the Oprah show, launched her first media event with her PR company The Tesla Group to introduce her latest invention Naboso Technology and it's first barefoot science product, the Naboso yoga mat.

Featured on over 100 media outlets worldwide, Dr. Emily Splichal's long list of accolades include the Catwalk Confidence workout DVD, the BARE® workout held at Crunch and 24 Hour Fitness, the Global Evidence Based Fitness Academy, where Dr. Emily has certified 20k fitness professionals in barefoot training, while also writing her book 'Everyday Is Your Runway: A Shoe Lover's Guide To Healthy Feet & Legs and BAREFOOT Strong'.

To introduce the new Naboso yoga mat, Dr. Emily hosted a luxury fitness experience at Floating Lotus in Midtown Manhattan with an "infusion of her Catwalk Confidence-BARE® workout on the new Naboso Yoga mat", claimed by Forbes Magazine as the "Tesla" of yoga mats.

Naboso Technology is a product company that focuses on barefoot proprioceptive stimulation. 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 stability, strength and coordination to truly be barefoot strong.


As guests entered the penthouse sunroof of the Floating Lotus, they were asked to step onto the Naboso yoga mat. Tonya Mann, a New York City blogger from Beauty Tipsy, immediately responded with "it feels like the texture is massaging my feet". Within about 35 minutes the class was full with some guest asking to stand and watch. Class structure was shaped to include exercises that can be used on and off the runway to walking properly in your heels. Dr. Emily demonstrated moves from "Fierce feet" - part of the Catwalk Confidence workout - the first ever workout designed to help women strengthen their feet and ankles. MSA Model Snow Xia, who attended the class, was asked if she would use the information as part of her daily routine -  "Absolutely. I am also an acupuncturist and we believe in the importance of stimulating the nerves to promote natural healing".

Guests were then introduced to the multi-functional use of the Naboso mat and how various levels of fitness and strength training for both men, women and athletes can be used on the mat. An introduction to BARE® - the only workout that combines the benefits of barefoot science and balance training for one intense workout - was to follow, providing guests with a new found education and tips on the importance of barefoot movements with the secrets to movement longevity.

The class ended with an 'Ask the Doctor' Q&A, refreshments and gift bags to bring this fashion fitness experience home or back to the office. The Naboso yoga mat retails at $110 and is available on www.nabosotechnology.com and Amazon.com. Use the promo code NABOSOFW on her website to receive 15% off through fashion week. Offer expires February 17, 2017.

Dr. Emily heads to London, England from February 7-8th to host a similar fitness experience and media meet & greets with Push PR London, a global partner of The Tesla Group. On February 28, Dr. Emily is hosting a consumer-media fitness experience with Pure Yoga West and a men's sports-fitness experience with former Pro Rugby player, influencer and global brand ambassador of Invictus' Paco Rabanne, Nick Youngquest in March.
