You have your
yoga mat, your
yoga blocks, your yoga straps and blankets, but you forgot yoga bags! We become so caught up in the practice of yoga itself that we rarely think of the before and after—the to and from the studio. Especially if you have a high quality
yoga mat, you ought to protect it and get yourself a
yoga bag. If you live in a metropolitan area, and it is not uncommon for you to schlep your
yoga mat and exercise clothes to work after your morning workout, you may even go one step farther and get a larger sack like a yoga gym bag.
You can find a large selection of
yoga mat bags online. They usually range in price from $14.99 to $25.00, but if you do opt for a larger yoga gym bag, Manduka makes MatSaks that are $49 and well worth the higher price. They come with compartments for damp exercise clothes so that when you change clothes after your workout and rush of to your important engagements, your exercise clothes will not spoil your purse or briefcase. Better yet, you do not have to bring another big bag or backpack to your
yoga class. Your day is made simpler.
For $19, Gaiam makes eco-friendly
yoga mat bags with recycled soda bottles. The Gaiam Eco Conscious 100% Recycled
Yoga Mat bag comes in tan and is complete with a breathable mesh window so that your mat can dry easily if it is damp. Unfortunately, there is no compartment for your work out clothes. Of course, if you go straight home after yoga or keep your clothes in a car, its lack of storage space will be no detriment.
For $14.99 Gaiam also has a 10% cotton
yoga bag that actually looks like a farmers’ market sack or a low-slung purse. It is a non-traditionally shaped
yoga mat bag in that it does not form-fit your mat, but allows you to place it partially inside, instead. This is convenient, because you have ample room for your other belongings (even a wallet and phone, while you are in transit), but the
yoga mat does not seem as safely encased as in the two above yoga bags.
So many yoga bags, so little time! Search the web for the endless options, or check out your local yoga studio. You have many resources to become one prepared yogi.
