INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSIGNIA / EMBLEM / LOGO:

The American Dental Association started using this insignia as the official symbol of dentistry in 1965. The emblem of dentistry is taken from Asclepius, a Greek god of medicine and healing. His symbol is a physician’s staff with a snake wrapped around it. The snake’s shedding of skin represented healing and rejuvenation. In honor of Asclepius, ancient Greeks would use non-venomous snakes in healing rituals and let them crawl freely on the floor among the sick and injured.

On the periphery of the emblem, you will notice two Greek letters, Delta ( Δ ) and Omicron ( Ο ). Delta represents dentistry, and Omicron is a symbol for odont, or tooth. The word “Dentistry” is inscribed upon the bottom half of the circle.

The interior of the circle is a particular shade of purple called lilac, which dates back to the National Association of Dental Faculties in 1897. To this day, dental graduates use purple in their gowns and caps, and the color is often found in dental publications.

In the center of the insignia there is snake coiled around a physician’s staff comes from Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing.  Behind the snake there are two branches bearing 20 berries and 32 leaves representative of the permanent and temporary teeth.

Why use a plain yoga / pilates mat when you can have a beautiful custom yoga mat that matches your personal style? Our custom yoga mats are made for you with any type of design you can imagine.

The top of the mats are dyed with your design using eco friendly non solvent inks. They have a smooth fleece felt top and feels very soft. The back of the mat is a sleek black and is a squishy non-slip texture to ensure that your mat does not slip on the floor. Our rubber backed mats are the perfect size at 68" x 24" and are just under approximately 1/4 inch thickness.

This particular mat is best for "dry" yoga practices unless you have a yoga towel on hand. The mat may get slightly slick during any intense workouts that cause extreme perspiration. Keep in mind, though, that yoga mats often become stickier and have better grip the more they are used.

Have fun picking the perfect design for your yoga mat! We have multiple yoga related designs and fills within our system, as well as thousands of other fills and patterns to choose from. Choose every part of your design from patterns to graphics to text. Even design it vertically OR horizontally. Personalize your yoga mat in every way to make it fit your personality!
