    Its very inconsistant unfortunately, doesnt seem to have anything to do with where the arrows are, sims will get on the mat from any side either way.  I've had the best results when controlling from which side the sims will go on the mat in a straight line, so they will face the way they faced when walking there, but even that is not totally reliable.

    Edit: ok, I just had an idea and tested it, and it seems to work, it seems to depend on where your camera is faceing! At least when directly on the sim from front or back, the sim will turn in your/the cameras direction! I tried it a couple of times with a sim on the mat. So it seems to work that way, try it! They might not face you initially btw so if they dont, cancel the action when they are on the mat and then start it again, everytime I did this they would turn arround to face me.

    This worked on the first try, thank you! What I did was to move the camera to the side of the wall (my mat is next to a wall) so it was looking towards rest of the room which would then cause the sim to turn their back towards me. In general in these tests most of the time the Sim seems to turn so that their back is facing the camera first.

    I did not try yet on how the yoga lessons would work, whether the Sim will look at the instructor when an instructor's mat has been placed down. But this seems to work for home exercise at least!

      Cool, glad it worked! 

      I've had alot of spas and the sims taking the classes always faced the instructor for me, so that works fine afaik.
