Lifeboard - Portable Floor to Enhance Yoga, Pilates or Ballet Barre Ex


Portable floor to enhance yoga, Pilates or ballet barre exercise at home on carpet or outdoors on just about any surface

Firm, rigid platform to support yoga on soft surfaces like carpet at home, or grass at the park.

Lightweight, easy to carry and store. Approximately 8.5 lbs per panel (17 lbs total)

Made of recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and shipped in boxes made of 100% recycled material. The black LifeBoard uses 50% recycled material.

73" L x 28 3/4" W x 5/8" H (assembled) - just a little larger than a standard yoga mat

The LifeBoard is a portable floor to enhance yoga or ballet practice at home on carpet or outdoors on just about any surface. It provides a durable and rigid platform for yoga on soft surfaces. The patent pending design is lightweight and portable. The interlocking tabs keep the two panels from separating vertically or horizontally.

An excellent product, exceptionally well designed and executed. The ingenious tabs lock the two halves together in such a way as to prevent any displacement side-to-side or up-and-down (absolutely no sagging in the center). The panels are surprisingly light (approximately 17.5 pounds combined) yet are very rigid. Once assembled, you get the impression you are standing on a single sheet of material. A standard yoga mat fits between the cutouts (which serve as handles) and leaves approximately 2 inches of exposed LifeBoard at each end.

It was a bit confusing initially connecting the two halves. You cannot connect them with the panels laying on the floor. You must hold a panel vertically in each hand (opposite edge resting on the floor, bottom surface facing you) and allow the wide end of the tabs on one panel to pass through the wide space between the tabs on the other panel. Being careful to keep the tabs interlocked (in the same manner as interlocking the extended fingers of your hands), you swing the opposite ends of the panels away from you, allowing the tabs to mesh snugly together, then lay the LifeBoard on the floor.

As stated, the LifeBoard is very rigid, easily providing adequate support for hands, wrists, feet and ankles during yoga practice. I should note the sensation is not identical to that provided by a mat on a hard floor, rather one of a mat on a hard, rigid surface resting on a cushioned surface (obviously). A hard flooring surface is laid on a hard sub-floor resting on rigid joists, the only cushion is that provided by the mat. The degree of cushion (give) you feel on the LifeBoard depends on the carpet on which the platform rests -- thick, long-pile carpet will compress more than short-pile or Berber carpeting. Regardless, support is more than adequate....

Well, wow, what can I say? I LOVE THIS!! I had been using a large rectangle of compression board from Home Depot, which worked but was so heavy it had to stay put on the floor of my yoga/meditation room. That was a pain, so eventually, I got rid of it. Then I did my power yoga practice on my rug, which was not good at all. Then I saw this. The price seemed a little high to me, but eventually I got over it and ordered. It came in record time for UPS, just a couple days. Unpacked it and snapped it together in 10 seconds. I love that I can move this if I want to, and fold it away when I need the space for meditation, etc. It's pretty light to carry, I love the handles, and doing yoga on this feels nice and solid. I had no issues with a slipping mat at all, no more so than I would have on a hardwood floor. Great product, thank you so much!!!...

I've been using this product for two weeks on our carpeted floor.

It definitely helps to use this board, especially for balancing poses.

The only thing that is slightly annoying is that my mat will sometimes slide around on top of it. That might just be the kind of mat that I have though.

Overall, it's a great product and has really helped me do yoga/pilates more effectively.

It's a nice rigid plastic that seems durable.

It's not very portable for a trip but its not hard to move around the house.
