About Yokut

YOKUTO Corporation creates a wellbeing society where everyone can live a healthy life in order to connect and weave together the minds and bodies of people around the world, people with people, and people with society. We provide a variety of real and online services to achieve wellbeing.

yoctoMat, developed by yocto Corporation, is the world's first* IoT yoga mat.
The yoctoMat is equipped with a textile weight pressure sensor, and by linking the sensing data with a dedicated application, the position of the player's hands and feet and center of gravity can be visualized.

In the future, it will also be possible to improve yoga posing by analyzing not only sensor data but also camera image data through AI analysis. In addition, data acquired from yoctoMat will be used to make online yoga lessons more personalized and lead to wellbeing.
*The world's first release of a yoga mat that allows visualization of the center of gravity (according to YOKUTO, July 2022).

By converting yoga mats to IoT, yoga movements, which until now have relied on the senses, can now be visualized and converted into data, providing a completely new yoga experience and a new form of yoga lessons at After Corona.
