Yoga Bags
Even if you are familiar with Yoga as a form of exercise, you may not know what a Yoga bag is. If so, you aren’t alone, as many people have never heard of a yoga bag. A yoga bag is simply a portable container used to store and transport a yoga mat to Yoga class. That’s it. It’s a bag to carry a mat. There are differences in yoga bags however, and not all are created equal.
Some yoga bags are more elaborate than others. There are bags that double as yoga mats, bags that are made from organic or recycled fibers and bags with extensive decoration. There are also simple, plain yoga bags. Whatever your style or need, there is probably a yoga bag to suit.
Many fitness fans choose organic all-cotton yoga bags to transport their yoga mats. Cotton bags are typically beautifully embroidered and feature an adjustable shoulder strap. Many have a small zippered pocket inside the bag and a large zippered pocket on the bag's exterior. It is also important that a bag is both strong and still light in weight, and it should fit both 1/8-inch and ¼-inch thick mats.
Your yoga mat is obviously an indispensable part of every yoga regimen, and provides a comfortable cushion between you and a hard floor surface. The best way to keep your yoga mat in good condition when on the way to or from class, or between sessions, is to store and transport it in a dedicated yoga bag.
The ideal set-up would be a yoga mat bag that is a good fit for both the 1/8'' and 1/4'' sticky yoga mats, plus room for a yoga strap, water bottle, and a change of clothes. Bags that are lined and padded on the inside, with pockets on the outside to carry your car keys, wallet and other essentials are perfect for both yoga class and for around town use too.
