A big congratulations to NEI member Donna Lee whose product, R-YOLO, was granted a utility patent December 2023. R-Yolo is a one of a kind washable, machine dryable, sustainable mat made with non-PVC materials.
Additionally, R-YOLO showcased as a trunk show vendor at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, AZ, from March 17th to March 21st, 2024, at the 1st Enchant beauty and wellness event.
Founded in 2021, R-YOLO was created to revolutionize the PVC mat industry. PVC, a known carcinogen, goes against the principles of yoga, yet remains the go-to material for mats users. R-YOLO is crafted from luxurious Turkish cotton, making it hypoallergenic and offering unparalleled comfort and grip in any pose.
R-YOLO’s exclusivity as part of the OSCAR swag bags and its status as the exclusive mat of Canyon Ranch, along with collaborations with other luxury resorts in the US and Caribbean, highlight its premium quality and desirability.

I wholeheartedly recommend New England (NE) Invents. My introduction to NE Invents took place in 2020 when a friend, upon learning about my invention, introduced me to this organization. The meetings have proven to be incredibly valuable and relevant for me as an entrepreneur. The resources and support offered are exceptional, and I’ve personally gained a lot from the provided assistance, including access to the highly knowledgeable members of the NE Invents team. Everyone is rooting for our success with the utmost passion.
