Online, April 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Kauai, HI, March 29, 2010 - Rousettus LLC, a company focused on designing adaptive sports equipment for the physically and visually challenged, received praise for its VIYM (Visually Impaired Yoga Mat) - at the AAHPERD (American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) National Convention in Indianapolis earlier this month.

Lauren Lieberman, Ph.D. of SUNY Brockport, said: "Accessible fitness and recreation is key for lifelong involvement. This yoga mat enables individuals with visual impairment to access yoga safely. Now they can have high expectations for their performance. Kudos to Tracy Curley for her innovation, energy, and passion."

Founder and CEO Tracy Curley said, "It was wonderful to meet so many people dedicated to increasing, diversifying, and making accessible a variety of physical fitness initiatives. I am grateful for all the support and enthusiasm I received." Her booth welcomed visitors from as far as Romania and Trinidad as well as top American universities. Many called the VIYM design - which features grooves to assist with proper alignment during yoga and exercise poses - "clever."

A yoga beginner at the convention purchased a VIYM for her own practice, signalling that the product has a broad appeal and is in demand by the fitness market in general.
