If you’re into hatha yoga (or any other kind) and faithfully go to your yoga class every time, you know how tricky it can be to take your yoga mat. It’s awkward to carry without it unrolling, and it looks funny to carry, too.
But you want to still do yoga, so don’t let complications with the yoga mat deter you! Yoga is a great form of exercise. It reduces stress and improves flexibility, strength, energy, and coordination.
So a better choice than giving up your yoga workouts altogether, would be to try using a yoga mat carrier. Yoga mat carriers are a great way to carry your yoga mat to and from your yoga workouts.
Considerations Of Yoga Mat Carriers
A carrier for your yoga mat should have a long strap or two so that you can wear your yoga mat over your shoulder, should you choose. It can be a specially designed bag that was developed specifically to hold your yoga mat.
Alternately, you can use a mat harness or strap. With this method, rather than having a bag you simply use a removable strap or harness. How would this work? You roll up your mat, attached the harness, and you’re ready to go. It is a simple type of yoga mat carrier.
When you’re choosing a yoga mat carrier, look for one that will hold your yoga mat. If you use an extra thick yoga mat, be aware that not all yoga mat carriers will accommodate that type of mat. Some carriers will even have enough room in them for your towel or water bottle.
Many carriers only have an opening the size of one end of the rolled mat – but yoga mat carriers are easier to use if they have a zipper that runs the full length of the bag. Some bags also have a smaller pocket to hold your small important things – like keys, lip balm, or change.
Many people buying a yoga mat carrier are concerned about the world we live in – and want a 100% cotton bag. These are available in many places, and often are from co-operatives that help the people in underdeveloped nations who appreciate the hand up.
Hand made yoga mat carriers are also available to buy. Sometimes they cost a bit extra, but that isn’t necessarily a negative. These can be especially useful because you will get the features you specifically want, and get a bag that is personally suited to you.
