Never used it myself, but my understanding is that the point of the yoga matt for the blind is so we can "understand" our orientation on the matt itself. The way it's been described to me is that blind people aren't capable of knowing their direction on the matt or where the corners are or way the matt is in general, so it helps with all that. I've been told it's a completely useless purchase not worth the money.

Has anyone tried to yoga mat for the visually impaired?  I'm not usually a big fan of things for "the visually impaired. ". For all I know this is like the blind fork or the blind toilet.  I'm sure nobody who is blind really needs those things.  I've looked at the yoga mat wondering if it is something that would help me with the more subtle movements in the spacing that I sometimes mess up when doing yoga poses.  The fact that this mat cost
$89 is another reason why I would not just buy it for the sake of buying it.
I've decided to make yoga a serious practice, so I really want to make good use of all the tools that would help me to do this.  (I'm still going through all the Blind Alive info.) Thoughts?
